    How to eat in 7 words

    Came accross a quote from Michael Pollan (who wrote the book the Omnivore's Dilemma) where he tried to distil advice about how to eat into 7 word. His was:

    "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants."

    Anyone care to try to distil Atkins or just how to eat into 7 words?

    Mine is:

    "Eat real food. No sugars. Drink water."

        I saw that somewhere the other day - it applies to Atkins really already. Like your new version too

                  Enjoy fat, lose fat, don't forget exercise.
                  The difference between 'involvement' and 'commitment' is like an eggs-and-ham breakfast:
                  the chicken was 'involved' - the pig was 'committed'.
