It's rare that I have any praise for a fast food chain, but in this
case, I applaud Burger King's move to offer bunless hamburgers to their
customers. It's being done in response to consumer demand and the
accelerating popularity of the Atkins diet, the South Beach Diet, and
other low-carb diets. By removing the bun, the Whopper goes from 52
grams of carbohydrates to a mere 3 grams. That's real progress! No
doubt, a Whopper without the bun is far healthier than a whopper with a
bun. Why is that? Because hamburger buns are really just sugar buns:
they're made with refined white flour, which is quickly converted to
blood sugar once ingested, resulting in the release of insulin, a
hormone that promotes fat storage. And 52 grams is a whopper serving of
carbohydrates, too! In fact, I don't eat 52 grams of absorbable carbs in
an entire day, much less at one meal. Low-carb diets are sweeping
the nation, and many restaurants -- not just Burger King -- are
responding with low-carb menu items. It's good news all around, because
low-carb diets really do help people with their weight loss goals, and
the more restaurants offer low-carb menu items, the more quickly we're
going to be able to tackle the obesity epidemic as a nation. It's
strange to hear me say it, but thumbs up to Burger King!
