Atkins in the news
Hi
You have probably all heard of the news coming out in the papers that the Atkins centre is now telling people to go easy on the red meat, cream, cheese and other saturated fat.
It sounds like the folks at Atkins central are starting to put across a slightly different message to what the Doc did all these years, or are they?
Also - how are we to maintain a high-fat diet cutting down on cream, cheese, butter, eggs (?) and red meat. Gulping olive oil???
What I am wondering is - what is the big problem with saturated fat - I always thought it was the link to cholesterol (blood fats) that made sat fats a no-no - but considering the fact that your average healthy LCer has an equal if not better cholesterol reading than a non-LCer - where does that leave us?
I apologize if this is talk of the day in one of the the other discussion areas - if it is could someone please kindly point me in the right direction with a link because I am concerned and quite interested in what others have to say.
