A friend of mine was talking about a doco he'd watched on food nutrition and human physiology, and basically the point of the program was to say that if you can't chase it down and kill it, or pick it from a tree or vine, you shouldn't be putting it in your mouth. This is because the human body is not as evolved as we think it is, and it just can't process a major proportion of the crap we put into it.

Makes a lot of sense to me.

That's the good thing about Atkins. You really are on a whole food diet unless you buy into all the snack foods you can get once you've completed the induction.
