Hey everyone,
I wasn't sure if this was Atkinsey enough to go in the main forums, but I've been meaning to share for a while about the book that got me into trying Atkins.
I was having a sad fat day and moping around a bookshop and bought 'The Hungry Years' by William Leith. It's a quite funny, but also a bit disturbing and raw account of his addiction to food and other things and how he broke the cycle with Atkins.
He decided to do the diet after meeting Dr Atkins for an interview. It's quite interesting on the idea of fat acceptance and on the dominance of the low fat diet as acceptable.
I'm re-reading it at the moment to remind myself why I'm doing this and thought some of you might find it interesting. *warning* though, he can be a bit harsh and quite gross. Men might find it particularly interesting.

...Was in HEAVEN -got to 150, for awhile, then got too busy, and gave in too much... and... OK holding pattern "keep it together..."
