Better late than never?<br /><br />If you google Fumento and low-carb proponent Gary Taubes, you can see that the two have locked horns and it was a bloody fight. I will re-read it at some point, but the impression I got was there is something personal about the debate. Like you, my impression is Fumento, a normally good writer, simply leaves his marbles in his other hat when he writes about the Atkins diet.<br /><br />I remember an article Fumento did for a conservative magazine around the same time, claiming the Atkins diet was phony-baloney. One of the other writers, Joel Mowbray, later wrote something to the effect that, if it was phony, how had he succeeded in losing a hundred pounds?<br /><br />I too have lost on the low-carb diet, about forty pounds so far, and what has struck me about this diet is that I seldom feel hungry. This is because, simply, there is no need to feel hungry; if you do, then eat something. Simple as that. Just don't eat sugary or starchy carbs. My typical snack is a piece of bacon.<br /><br />I had tried diets of all sizes and shapes. If I had listened to Fumento, I'd still weigh in at 240.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12974887002402743628noreply@blogger.com
