Your article on the Atkins diet was interesting but severely limited in scope.  It fails to recognize (as do 95% of all "diet" programs) that everyone is different. 

 

Everyone has a different metabolism. 

 

Everyone needs fats, protein and carbohydrates but in different ratios depending on their unique metabolism.

 

Everyone needs to understand what are good fats, good protein and good carbohydrates.

 

Everyone needs to understand what are bad fats, bad protein and bad carbohydrates.

 

The Denmark study was seriously flawed and to try and apply those findings to everyone is irresponsible.  Instead of highlighting the Atkins diet, the Student Leadership University should take steps to help educate people about their unique metabolism and how they need to eat to support their own health.
