is the fanaticism of some of it's supporters.
One guy at work lectured me for most of an 8 hours shift once about how wonderful it was.
It worked for him, glad for him. He'd come to work, fix breakfast of halfdozen bacon strips, then lay them on plate, with hunks of cheese between, heat to melt cheese, that would be breakfast.
He had some blood work done that showed he was doing better than before, but wouldn't tell doctor he was on Aikens diet till after doctor agreed whatever he was doing he was improving. I guess that does provide more impartial advice.
But he was fanatical about it, preaching it from a pulpit. He said he had read the book 3 times I think, and it's the first thing not related to car racing or hunting I've ever heard of him reading.
My personal opinion (though unfortunately I don't follow it) is that most of us just need to shift more of our diet to raw fruits and vegetables. Even high calorie fruit is better for us than much of what we eat. And we probably should limit meat to once a day (about the size of a nice porkchop). And I guess even that should be more fish and less beef and pork. (But I do love porkchops and NC barbeque, so bad for me.)
Shrug, different diets probably work for different people.
HUGE SIGH, and I'm going to have to pick one. My obesity and age has reached the point that my knees and ankles can't take it any more. Blood pressure thank goodness isn't bad, but it's climbing to borderline area. Oh well, you do what you gotta do, once you can convince yourself it's necessary, it's not so terrible I guess.
