An apple a day...
Since Atkins died it appears a lot of people have fallen off the bandwagon. The Atkins diet always seemed little more than a popular fad to me, and gone are the "Atkins approved" selections at restaurants, the miles of "Atkins" foods at grocery stores, and the constant internet postings of how great it is. The whole thing, as I understood it, seemed to defy common sense. There were actually bakeries across the country that were in danger of going bankrupt because of this crap. And as I am a devotee of French and Italian breads, this really concerned me.
Maybe I missed something. Atkins devotees were eschewing bread to the point of having Subway sandwiches with no friggin bun to contain the fillings and hamburgers which consisted of a patty of meat. And yet now we have this:

Straight from the Atkins site, and talking about the benefits of fiber (a lot of which comes from grain).
Get this people: DIETS ARE BULLSHIT. What happened to the South Beach Diet and the Grapefruit Diet? All nonsense designed to separate the legions of lazy-ass people from their hard-earned cash. Yet nobody feels stupid for following the crowd. How many dumb-ass 'diets' have there been now, how many have bottles of Cal-Ban 3000, Redux, and Grapefruit 2000 (or whatever the hell it was called) are in the cabinets of moronic sheep? It's garbage.
Losing weight is the very simple matter of doing more and eating less. Not some fad. Turn off the TV, put down the Hostess cream pies, get off your big fat ass and do something.
The human body was designed to walk 20 miles a day and hunt sabretooth tigers, not sit in a couch and vegetate while munching food 'approved' by some quack doctor. No fad diet is going to overcome a sedentary lifestyle. Get out and do things, eat a good balanced diet with plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, and stay away from shit food as much as possible. Simple as that.
Grandpa may not have been a doctor, but he did live longer than Dr. Atkins. He simply ate good, wholesome foods and worked his ass off. Amazing.
