I remember my mother on the Atkins diet, she lost weight quickly and it truly amazed me. The poor guy took a lot of criticism though. Wasn't he a cardiac specialist?
You know looking at the list of recommended food to eat, I can't help but think of my grandma. She didn't have one fat cell on her body, she lived to 88, never a health problem in her life.
She NEVER used margarine, ONLY butter and never skim milk in her coffee but cream. Ate constantly it seemed, always snacking on nuts and fruits. She wasn't one to " work out" or exercise but was in remarkable shape.
It's funny, when she was offered margarine or " healthy " stuff, she would turn her nose up to it, always saying in my day they didn't have margarine, only butter, lord only knows what is in that stuff.. seems like my grandma with her 8th grade education knew better than some.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1030631Yep, Atkins was a cardiac specialist. And yes he took a lot of criticism because he challenged the orthodoxy! What you mention is called the "French Paradox". The French eat way more fat than anyone else (cheese, butter, cream, whole milk, foie gras - very high fat, etc) and yet they have the lowest rates of heart disease in the Western world and relatively low obesity rates! This is now starting to change, with substances such as foie gras being frowned on for being so high fat. As French fat consumption is finally succumbing to the propaganda, so their heart disease rates and obesity are beginning to rise! Also on figures between 2005-2010 the French had a life expectancy of 80.7 years - with the UK on 79.4 and the US trailing on 78.2.
