Loading ...Jessica Simpson: ‘Atkins messed me up’
Wonderful! Not that Self Magazine is a paragon of journalism, nor Jessica Simpson a paragon of nutrition, but unfortunately celebrities to have influence over a large group of people. It seems Simpson was “messed up” because she couldn’t get through the 2-week induction part of the diet and so had to cave to all the temptations around her. I’m not sure how this is getting “messed up.” I think instead it shows that Simpson has little self-discipline, or who knows, maybe she was just doing a creative version of Atkins that was 80% fake carb products, with a bunch of low-fat food thrown in? We have no idea mainly because there’s just not enough info presented. You hear rumors of various celebs doing one diet or another but few are outspoken advocates who trumpet their own experiences. I think a couple of exceptions here would be Marry Lou Henner and Suzanne Summers, but those are the only two I can think of.
