    MUST READ!! NYT Article saying Atkins was right all along

    I'm sure many of you have seen this, but if not get over to NYT right away and read it. It's great Sunday reading on the danger of carbohydrates. It even explicitly says that high-fat low carbohydrate diets, formerly viewed as medical "quackery" are now being accepted by the mainstream establishment.

    There is also another article called "Unhappy Meal" that also bears reading, it talks about the relationships between the food supply, government, various industries and how they've resulted in our current state of epidemic obesity.

      The thing that blows my mind is that article is almost 5 years old and a lot of people are still majorly misinformed...
      No stats. Not weighing anymore ever. Will post "before and after" pictures when I want to. The end.

      Vigilance, not perfection.
