Dump the food pyramid that the American Dietetics
Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the National Institutes
of Health, and the American Cancer Society all implore you to follow for
the sake of your health.
Take antioxidant supplements (but skip most
of the foods that naturally contain these nutrients). Eat a high-protein
diet that has received the thumbs-down from major medical and nutrition
experts and associations and has been deemed especially dangerous for
women, as it depletes the body's calcium stores.
If you believe that Dr. Atkins somehow knows
better than all those experts and organizations, here's his latest--a
plan to defy aging through eating a high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet,
taking lots of supplements, optimizing your hormones, detoxifying your
body through chelation therapy, exercising, and taking brain-boosters
like ginkgo biloba.
Free radicals, insulin resistance, sugar--these
are the reasons we age, get sick, and get fat, insists Atkins, not dietary
fat.
Eggs are good for you. The cholesterol you eat
does not affect the cholesterol in your blood, he says. He scoffs at "the
unholy alliance among the American Heart Association, American Medical
Association, American Diabetes Association, and U.S. government in its
many manifestations (FDA, Department of Agriculture, NIH, et al.)."
One wonders why Atkins thinks all these medical
organizations would band together to promote an unhealthy diet and not
herald Atkins as a genius if, indeed, he had the answer.
