FOOD GUIDE PYRAMID The Food Guide Pyramid is often criticized as having too many carbohydrates with an over-reliance on grains and breads. Too many fast-acting carbohydrates stimulates the hormone insulin, the only known fat storing hormone. On a graph, the food guide pyramid is low in protein and high in carbohydrates.
ATKIN'S DIET Atkin’s diet recipes prove to be extremely high in protein, fat and calories, and too low in carbohydrates. For example, their Steak Au Poivre has 798 calories per serving and only 7 grams of carbohydrate.
