I believe you are missing my point. I certainly did not mean to imply
that a low carb high fat high animal protein diet is best for everyone.
According to the "Metabolic Typing Diet" one does some testing to
determine one's basic metabolic type, then since there are a lot of
variations within types/across types, starts with a basic food plan for
their basic type, and fine tunes from there. The fine tuning results in
a very individualized diet, based on how one reacts on many levels. The
iea is to find the diet that best maintains health for an individual.
Most diets and books recommend one diet for everyone.
I spoke from my own prejudice. I've never personally run across anything
written by a nutritionist that didn't have a one size fits all diet they
gave to everyone.

you have some valid points.. But your theory or "their" theory on
metabolic types is also inconsistant. It works for some but doesn't
work for all. So if it is individual then one cannot say that one
works for all. And if a holistic nutritionist opinion is in question?
then we might as well throw all professional based thinking out the
window and go back to the drawing board for "ALL" involved. You
probably noticed I didn't mention "dietician" also limitted in
thinking from my experience. I would humbly say that if someone has a
condition, which ever that condition may be has to do their own
dilegence homework but also keep an open mind enough to consider all
methods in anything undertaken.
with all due respect.

What makes one person acidic doesn't mean that same thing will make
every single human being on the planet acidic.
Check the book "Metabolic Typing Diet". It discusses the
acid/alkaline balance. Some of us achieve balance on a diet that
would throw others out of whack.
There is a HUGE fallacy in thinking everyone needs or thrives or will
achieve a good acid/alkaline balance on the same diet. It simply is
not true. There is no laziness involved for me, at least.
Most nutritionists are far too likely to believe that there is only
one diet that is best for everyone, so only SOME of their clients
will thrive on their recommendations. Many will become worse.
FWIW, I did not go on Atkins to lose weight, but to feel better, and
I did. Anyone who went on an Atkins low carb diet and felt worse
would be a fool to continue. Just as it would have been foolish for
me to stay on a low fat vegetarian diet.
Any understanding of food/how to eat is individual, there is no one
best way for everyone.

Atkins is certainly NOT a healthy way of eating IMHO.
This makes the blood and the body's environment EXTREMELY acidic.
which makes it a great host for future problems. our system is not
designed to be acidic. The simple reason all these different "diets"
have been created is because people are too lazy in most cases to
exercise properly and daily. People want a fast and convenient way
to lose weight. Proper diet means eating sensibly and complimenting
this with regular proper exercise.

Atkins is a healthy way of eating. It has been proven by studies
in Europe, so he claims.

OTOH, a couple years later, after a short stint of strict Atkins
(very
high fat, lots of protein, no carbs, no sugar) my triglycerides
dropped
167 points, HDL was up, LDL a bit lower. Overall cholesterol numbers
stayed about the same.
