"Diet
food can be better, richer, and more sumptuous than most everyday
foods," says Dr. Robert Atkins. Carbohydrates, in his opinion,
are the root of metabolic evil and the source of hyperinsulinemia, a
condition that makes it next to impossible to lose weight. This collection
of recipes focuses on ultra low-carbohydrate dishes. His anti-carb stance
leads to some unconventional dietary advice: "Remember that, as a
rule, the lower the fat content of a milk product, the higher its
carbohydrate grams. Use cream, not skim milk; use sour cream, not
yogurt."
