This is good news!

I do remember my friends on that diet. Bacon. Cheese. Cheeseburgers. Bacon burgers. All the meat and fat you could eat, and they were losing weight. It was the strangest thing to see. I don't eat much meat, so it wasn't ever an eating plan that appealed to me. But I have to say that even though I cognitively understood how it worked, I just couldn't get my head around the notion that all that animal fat could be good for us.

I wonder, however, how many people would actually follow a vegan diet of any sort for any amount of time, unless they wanted to commit to the vegan lifestyle for other reasons. I'm a mostly-vegetarian and there are still times -- even in this age -- where I look at a menu and have to look hard to find something to eat besides a house salad. Most restaurant kitchens will accommodate special requests, and many have veggie options, so it's not a big deal. But to be a lifestyle, an eating program has to be compatible with your life, and I wonder how many will start an Atkins vegan diet but not stick to it. (As I recall, one of the reasons the high-protein/fat version was so popular was that people felt satisfied, they felt full. They didn't feel hungry an hour after eating.

Be interesting to see what level of acceptance this plan has. Thanks for the SHARE!
