Well, I thought this article might be a good enough way for me to introduce my nutrition/dietary leanings. I’m a big advocate of low-carb. I was a big low-fat advocate for much of the 90’s until I saw the light almost three years ago and started following a plan called Protein Power, which is similar to Atkins but different in a lot of ways too - it emphasizes health improvements over weight-loss, does not require one to be in ketosis (but also says there’s nothing wrong with it if you are), and generally explains a great deal of the science behind the plan, backing it up with lots of studies and great logical arguments. I’ve even written a document called Protein Power in a Nutshell, which I freely distribute to those who are interested. The article caught me as funny because I have asked many times for a substitute for the potato, rice, etc., but I normally ask them to just add extra veggies and I don’t think I’ve ever been turned down!

sounds very similar to the south beach diet for healthy heart. I went on it for a while and the weight did drop off, however it also lowered my BP a bit too much. I think thats the diet to go on if you have high BP/Cholesterol, but otherwise I dont think its for me yet!!!

I’ve heard people mention the South Beach Diet, but I don’t know anything about it. Most low-carb diets have the propensity to lower bp/cholesterol. If you already have low bp that’s another matter. But I tend to think that no one way of eating is optimal for everyone. We are all genetically different and have different lifestyles/environments to boot, so what’s good for one person might not be for another!
