We’ve all by now heard about the study that says Dr. Atkins high-fat/low-carb diet may actually be good for you. The American Heart Association begs to differ. Here’s what I think. I couldn’t handle all the fat on the Atkins Diet, but I’m a big proponent of the low-carb regimen. Don’t buy a diet book, just do this: 1) cut all but minimal amounts of bread, rice, potatoes and pasta from your diet; 2) eat lean meats; 3) eat green vegetables; 4) drink lots of water; 5) eat only minimal amounts of sugar. Warning: the first 10-14 days are tough, as your body detoxes from its carb cravings. After that, it’s a cinch — and you’ll say you’ve never felt better. (Sorry crunchy cons, granola is not allowed — but steel-cut oatmeal is the breakfast of champions!)
