Well, I don't know, Annie.... I've heard/read about Dr. K's plan for several years now, and in several places besides here (including the Aussie and Hyperlipid sites, among others), and it never really caught my interest... until recently when everyone started talking about how to adapt this regimen (I hate the word "diet") to make it more livable for certain North Americans who for various reasons are more restricted as far as cultural tastes go.

Anyway, these relatively minor modifications really aren't much different than the relatively minor mods that everyone all over this board makes to Atkins or PP, or Paleolithic/Neanderthin, or South Beach, in order to make those regimens work for them.

If we can get Dr. K's plan to work for us by dipping our toes in, so to speak, why not? Besides, quite often once people have been introduced, they tend to go on and study and follow the plan in more detail. Small steps, small steps....

Not really worth getting enraged about, anyway.
