In my opinion, Atkins is better since it allows you to eat larger amounts of protein and also more enjoyable. |
After reading this article, I would have to agree with Cygirl on this is too much, if indeed this is what she is talking about. Here is a quote from the article. It makes me a little sick just to read it:
He's talking about eating 250 grams per day, three times more than most health guidelines. To eat that much you have to start early. Breakfast would require a four egg-yolk omelet cooked in lard, a side of bacon and sausage, toast bathed in butter - all washed down with a cup of heavy whipping cream. And that's just a third of your fat goal.
It does not sound healthy at all!! Yuck. |
