tonite i came to a realization that all of my hatred towards the atkins diet has be unfounded (sort of). I still dissagree with removing carbs from peoples diets but i do agree with the other thing that he un-intionally removed.....
anyone
High Fructose Corn Syrup
Graphs have shown that the rise of obesity and the rise in the use of HFCS goes hand in hand. NO i am not sying that HFCS is not solely to blame but i feel it is a moajor contributing factor. consumption has also incresed but we are consuming empty calories. i don't wan't to sound like a health nut spouting, in actuallity i weigh 360 pounds and i am starting an experiment. i would like the assistance of other Tfpers in joining with me in trying to cut out HFCS from our diet and getting out and excercising.
Also any TFper's from across the pond i would like to know if HFCS is a primary ingredient in most of your foods like is true in the states.
For doubter's look in your cabinets and then at atkins approved items and see that in regular items HFCS is typically one of the first ingredients wheras atkins have little to no HFCS.
