Re: Atkins Diet
I'm a vegetarian trying to switch to macrobiotics, but as far as I understand it, having read the original book, Atkins *doesn't* advocate unlimited milk and cheese, because of their higher carbohydrate levels. Having read up about both diets, they both seem to make some kind of sense, but as a vegetarian, I simply couldn't do Atkins (points raised about practices and long term sustainability of the livestock industry are also relevant)
As has been pointed out, they both identify the major culprit as refined, simple carbohydrates... i.e. sugar. *that* seems to be the problem.
