I'm utterly shocked at this statement. I'm not shocked at the content, just that someone on that committee would admit the guidelines are hogwash with no basis in reality.

OI, you could knock me over with a feather... :devil:
why didn't she resign in a huff?

Is she secretly a revolutionary?

...maybe she'll resign in a minute and a huff? (apologies to Groucho Marx!).
I never felt better than when on Atkins. Had great energy, no more 3 PM slump. Lost weight, ate an amazing amount of burgers, bacon, cheese... Sadly, one of my conditions indicates I can't quite handle that much protein - not if I want my kidneys to keep working. But I have weaned myself away from the carb intake I used to inhale. More meat / fish / chicken & salad vs sammiches (and the chips I so love...).
