Hi,

Couldn't believe I didn't mention this to you since I know you are on a diet. Looks like you are on Atkinson diet - no carbohydrates.

The study says Atkinson diet works for a while, but people often put their weight back on after going back to their normal diet. Dr. Atkinson himself was still over weight when he died. His wife also agreed that this diet cannot last. Lacking of carbohydrates (assuming people eat more protein in stead), your body will produce too much harmful chemical (sorry I don't remember the name).

The newer approach is Low GI diet (Low Glycaemic Index Diet). It's very healthy. The point of this diet is to keep the level of glucose in blood stream stable, therefore your metabalism rate is more stable, which will help controling your weight eventually. There are a lot of Low GI diet books in the market you could try. This diet also helps people who have diabete.

Cheers

Hi 瓶子,

I don't want to scare you with this. It is ture that 冬粉 is made of mung bean, but it's mainly from the starch in mung bean. I suggest you to read the nutritional data and you will be suprised. Actually it's also very low in protein.

It's also a pleasure to read your articles. Please don't stop.

Cheers

Barry
