Half the time, I don’t know what this article is even talking about. The author is acting like all weight-loss experts think high carb diets are key to staying thin.

Huh? Maybe it’s just me, but hasn’t pretty much everyone known that high carb diets do pretty much the exact opposite? The problem with the Atkins diet wasn’t that people weren’t losing weight, it’s that it isn’t realistic to think people could keep it up for very long, and may not be healthy to completely cut out carbs for an extended period of time. I thought it was pretty much common knowledge that high protein, low carb diets help get the weight off.

I started working out and dieting a few months ago after gaining a bunch of weight, and I looked around all over the internet for tips to see if I was doing things right. I can’t think of a single site that I found that didn’t say “consume lots of protein, cut back on carbs.”
