I just recieved my March issue of Oprah magazine. One of the cover teases is:BACON & BUTTER & EGGS" OH MY! the big fat truth about the Atkins diet. The article is in the Body Wise section, beginning on page 145. It is authored by the daughter of an Atkins devotee. I got a weird/bad vibe while reading this. I don't know if it is her writing style or her slant on the story or what...There is also a "summing it up" article-within-the-article. It contains alot of the same old, tired "arguments" about this "diet" not being a healthy one. Why can't everyone find a woe that is successful for them and quit slamming those who don't follow the same plan? Yeesh!

That's weird, 'cuz I saw Oprah on tv the other day saying that she just can't do rice, bread, and potatoes. I thought, "She's finally trying LC" How odd. she absolutely looks FABULOUS these days.

In my opinion, Oprah does a modified LC plan, but her nutritionist/trainer has convinced her that it is not. This is why she claims that she's not pro-LC.

I read that article too and did not care for it. I usually like reading O Magazine, but was disappointed in the slant of the article.
