A study published in the March issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found insufficient evidence linking saturated fat intake to cardiovascular disease or coronary heart disease.
Riding high on the wave of saturated fat's rehabilitation, the famous Atkins Diet has been revamped with an eye toward making it easier to understand and maintain. "The New Atkins for a New You" (Fireside, 2010) allows dieters to eat more vegetables than the old version did. But the diet's core concept -- that carbohydrates, not saturated fat, are what makes us fat -- remains intact.
Atkins old and new aim to rejigger metabolisms so people burn their fat, including stored body fat, instead of carbs. Atkins followers are encouraged not to count calories and are told that their cravings for carbs will swiftly diminish.
n this new book, which remains true to the core concepts of Dr. Atkins' previous books, authors Dr's Westman, Volek, and Phinney have laid out the cumulative body of scientific evidence supporting the low-carb approach, most of which has accumulated after the death of Dr. Atkins in 1994.
