Dr. Yoni says it best.
Read all about the fancy "nutritional" conference, the "tool" RD's who attend, and the absolutely astounding verbiage from the conference hosts on the good Doc's blog. Oh, and don't forget the amazing RD tweets.
Yeah, I think we should get rid of cell phones and processed food and all that nasty stuff. EMF makes you fat, along with eating all that saturated fat. Thank goodness we have registered dietitians learning all about physics and waves and power calculations 'n' geeky science-y stuff like NU-TREE-INTS.
Same with baby formula. Baaaaaad! I am giving it up today. But don't take away my internet, no matter how fat it makes me.
Sooooo, processed food isn't the problem? Technology isn't the problem? What, low carb advocates aren't even the problem? You mean its NOT the microwave?
I blame the tools.

OK, so I actually read it
A "friend" gave me a copy of Dr. Atkins' latest low carb book. It was last updated in 2002. This is the first time I actually read it.
While I was well-versed in the basics of the diet, I was pleasantly surprised at all the other content. It is certainly NOT what the RD's have been making it out to be. Surely, as diet professionals, they have had over a decade to get and read this book.
There were (gasp!) vegetables in there. And pleas to take yer vitamins, do moderate exercise, take yer fiber if you need it. Truly, it wasn't gluttony and sloth. He said, hey, take it easy on the artificial sweeteners and "bars".
I was mostly surprised at the fairly long chapter on stalls. He had many suggestions and reasons for stalls, suggestions that I thought had been discovered much more recently. Yep. Stuff like cheese and nuts and hormones.
I think that complaining about how stupid Atkins is by the RD's, is the best marker of professional stupidity around. If all you can say about Atkins is that while you are on it, you will die with your last bad breath, well then yer an effin' idiot. Rant over.
