So, you have better qualifications and yet can't even spell psychological??? So far, you haven't
convinced me.

Here is what he says about insulin: page 49--"Insulin is manufactured in a part of your pancreas
called the Islets of Langerhans. As the sugar level in your blood goes up, the pancreas releases
insulin to move the sugar out of the blood. It then transports the blood sugar to your body's cells
for their energy needs. When these needs are met, the liver converts excess glucose into glycogen,
which is stored in the liver and muscles, where it is readily available for energy use. Once all the
glycogen storage areas are filled, the body has to do something with excess glucose. The liver
converts the remaining glucose to fat. That's why insulin is called "the fat-producing hormone.""
Now, nowhere here does he say "hunger is all about insulin." If you can prove he said this, cite the
proof. Also, please cite where he says that "humans cannot keep their weight in control on a high
carbohydrate diet."

Now, I know you haven't read Dr. Atkins book, or you would not say that his advice was to "cut out
fat and try to ensure more starchy food."

I didn't say that I am "defending" Dr. Atkin; indeed, what he said has to stand on its own--as what
anybody says, including you. What I have seen so far, however, is that you don't produce any proof,
just a bunch of hot air. You haven't read the book, even. You're just not believable.
