Dr. Robert Atkins. Was he a genius, a quack, both?

3. He was right, still is....

We've been fed a huge line of crap since the 70's about what's healthy and what's not. You're absolutely right about maximizing profits being the motive for the lies we've been told. Here's a good video by a swedish doctor that explains:

I followed conventional wisdom for more than 30 years about how to be healthy and all I (and millions of others) got was fatter and sicker. Now that I've done the research (instead of listening to my CW deluded doctor) I'm healthy and fit. I've cured my own depression, gotten off all but one med. and cured my diabetes, by eating what we evolved to eat. No processed foods, sugar, grains, legumes, or soy. I eat a diet high in the good fats (butter, lard, coconut oil), protein and non-starchy vegetables. I'm never hungry, all disease is gone and as a bonus I have great energy and the weight just fell off. No more supporting big agra and big pharma for me!
