University of Colorado is studying the Atkins diet to see if there’s anything to it.
One hundred obese Coloradans will chow down on bacon and butter, steaks and cheese this fall to see if they can, improbably, lose weight.
Another 100 will try to lose weight by eating pasta and rice, veggies and fruits like many moms and all federal dietitians have been imploring since 1975.
Hey, do they need volunteers to see if bacon, butter, steaks, cheese and pasta and rice can help you lose weight?
Okay. Now I’m hungry.
Hmmm. Bad timing here, since I’m pretty sure I gained five-plus pounds whilst in Faerie, and the pants which were loose have gotten tight again …

I’ll volunteer for group 1 too.
True. I’d settle for that. Though I’d hate to give up or seriously reduce my rice and pasta intake. Or, for that matter, sugar.
Hrm. I want it all.
I’m doing my own “human” version of Atkins (meaning I avoid carbs as much as possible, but I still have a bagel or cereal for breakfast and still have milk and chocolates at bed time — just not as many pizza/sandwich lunches and almost no carbs at dinner) and I’m definitely losing weight.
Now if I could get my booty moving I might really make some progress!
Aw, jeez, y’mean I gotta exercise, too? Yeesh!
