It seems like the once-hot Atkins diet has gone out of style. I wonder why.
I have heard of ketosis. A running partner, back in the days when I was running 6 and more miles at a time, mentioned that a runner would go into the state of ketosis at a point while running. I didn't know what that involved, and didn't bother to ask him (I didn't want to appear stoopid). Anyway, I would much rather go into ketosis by eating hamburgers (without the bun--there's a lot of carbohydrates in it) and french fries and stuff like that than running (running is not an option for me now anyway) to get to that point!
ADDENDUM: Oops! French fries would be "out" on this diet!
