Re: Atkins Diet

The bottom line: you can lose weight on Atkins, for awhile, but you can also lose your health. The only thing Atkins and Macro have in common is that they both eliminate processed sugar foods. Macrobiotics is 50 per-cent whole grains or more. Atkins never reaches that. Macro is 5 percent or less animal food. Atkins is lots of meat, cheese, etc. dairy is for baby cows. Macro never advocates large amounts of meat and dairy. The macro diet helps you maintain a good weight without gimicks.

Thin people like Dr. Ornish and Dr. McDoughall eat a diet that is similar to macrobiotics; very low fat, lots of whole foods, no animal foods. I recommend you get Dr. McDoughall's 6 tape series.
