the low fat doctrine is bankrupt for many americans. the question is, what will replace it. my suggestion is try the moderate zone diet first, rather than the more extreme atkins diet. it that doesn't fit the bill, back off on carbs until it it does. if you are a competing athlete try the zone and modify it marginally until you achieve peak performance. all new diets s/b undertaken under the care of a doctor. a variant of ketosis can kill some people - make sure you aren't one of those people before going into ketosis if you deem it necessary. ala atkins. atkins diet has a 60% rating at epinions.com. the zone has a whopping 90% rating - a full 50% higher approval rating than the atkins diet... atkins - 60% approval... epinions.com zone - 90% approval... epinions.com "moderation in all things..."

<<Our cholesterol levels have been declining, and we have been smoking less, and yet the incidence of heart disease has not declined as would be expected. ''That is very disconcerting,'' Willett says. ''It suggests that something else bad is happening.'' >> No, Willett. Wrong. What it suggests is that cholesterol is much less of a factor in heart disease than is so widely believed. <<What's forgotten in the current controversy is that the low-fat dogma itself is only about 25 years old. >> So it's far too soon to make any judgements based on it. The oldest people who adopted such low fat "dogma" for long enough to make a difference are likely only in their early fifties. So there's no stat data to go on.
