I have not seen it Tara... did they mention a maximum amount of fat (saturated as well as unsaturated) that is allowed per day, or not?


No they didn't Joan, they went literally by the (Atkins) book which says the dieter can eat as much as he/she likes as long as they limit carbohydrates.

It was suggested in Horizons that high protein intake suppressed the appetite, thereby causing the dieters to actually consume fewer calories because they ate less. But they didn't say whether this was absolutely for sure the reason why it works.

There were a lot of perhapses, may's and could be's regarding the reasons why it works. The upshot being that they don't know why it works.

What a pity Dr Atkins died last year, I am sure he would have loved to have seen all this going on about his diet!

Incidentally, my husband went onto it in 1973, I remember baking special no carbohydrate bread for him! It worked then too :haha:
