NEW YORK - In a surprising announcement, Calista Flockhart, the
ultra-thin star of TV's Ally McBeal, publically revealed the details
of her diet.
Flockhart's extremely thin figure has led many to speculate that she
has anorexia nervosa. Flockhart has repeatedly denied having the
eating disorder. However, until today, she had otherwise not shared
any details of her diet with the public.
At this afternoon's press conference, she made a clear and frank
statement about her diet. "For the last five years," she announced to
the hushed crowd, "I've been on the Atkins Diet."
The 'Atkins Diet' she refers to is a diet developed and refined by
Dr. Peter Atkins over the last 20 years. Unlike many diets, which
limit the amount of fat one can eat daily, the Atkins diet restricts
carbohydrate intake, while placing no dietary limits on fat, protein,
or even total calories. Although controversial, the diet is very
popular. Atkins' book, Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution, has been a
best-seller.
After the whispers and laughter from the crowd subsided, Flockhart
continued her statement. "The fact is, I eat a full diet just like
everyone else. But unlike most dieters, my diet is full of
high-protein and high-fat foods. So I actually eat a fuller diet than
most people.
"For example, for breakfast, I eat eggs a lot. I like to hard boil my
egg, so I can easily cut it into seven slices. That way I have
breakfast prepared for the whole week.
"For lunch, I often eat nuts. They're very convenient. When I get
hungry during the afternoon, I just pop a pistascio or an almond into
my mouth, and I feel satisfied.
"For dinner, I totally pig out. One of my favorite dinners is a thin
slice of roast beef. Another favorite of mine is half a strip of
bacon. Sometimes I feel guilty for eating so much. But with the
Atkins Diet, I can eat until I'm full and not gain weight, as long as
I stay away from those carbohydrates."
Despite being on the diet for years, Flockhart said she is still not
quite down to her target weight. "I seem to be one of those people
that just can't get those last thirty pounds off," she said.
Nevertheless, Flockhart says she feels happy with ther body and her
diet. "A lot of people have accused me of being anorexic. Well, I'm
here to say that, thanks to the Atkins Diet, I can be slim and healthy
without being anorexic."

I fell for that Atkins Diet crap until I read where Calista slices a boiled
egg into seven slices, enough for the week? And popping peanuts! Man... you
had me going there.
But I ain't *that* gullible!!! :-)

I fell for it until the spot where it was mentioned that she wanted to lose
another 30 pounds. THAT's when I knew something was up! :)
