Programme was generally good but did rather over concentrate on the induction side effects. But overall it was good coverage.

I am not sure that it is necessarily a good advert for low carb for "Atkins" to be portrayed as a "lose weight quick" type of diet.

We all know that low carb is sustainable in the long term and can be rich in variety. The test subject shown (there had to be more than one giving a video diary) was selected for its extreme elements and to suggest the reverse.

Regretably I did not find myself that sympathetic to the subjects plight and had this irrisistable urge to shout at the television and suggest what she could do with the banana she was craving!.

It is worth looking out for a repeat if you missed it tonight.
