I agree that the weirdest thing about these dieting debates is how ANGRY the low carb people get at the mention of Atkins. Lowcarb eating has become some kind of religion to some people and I find this bizarre. If they want to follow low-fat diets, mazel tov. But why are they so threatened when others have more success with high protein diets?

It is a mystery to me, but to my astonishment I often encounter the same type of hostility about the diet that I have here tonight. People are ANGRY that there is a diet that directly contradicts what they have been taught. And they are often low fat fanatics, who, presented with the facts, just get angrier and hostile. The bottom line is that there are many diets out there and low fat is not the be-all and end-all that folks claim.
