I haven't read Atkins' work, . . .The key is not so much carbohydrates per se as it is glycemic index and the tendency to reactive hypoglycemia. Complex and bound carbohydrates are just fine, while high fructose corn syrup is the absolute worst. . .



I read the book and if you read the book, what you said is exactly the point. He just goes overboard on other stuff and those that don't have matching metabolisms are bitter that this diet doesn't work for them so they are rather vocal. And the 'synopsis' are usually written by people who didn't read the book either and think it's just a eat all the cheese you can 'diet'.

This diet plan works for some and not others, just like everything else - (there is no 'one size fits all' approach to metabolism people, just good rules that may apply - you have to find the ones that work for you)?

I'm back to my french fries.

I lied, there is a 'one size fits all' solution and it's guaranteed to lose weight almost instantly.

I have a great diet plan for you - I'm not sure about the carb content, but it's high in protien, calcium, Zinc, B12, and other vitamins and minerals.


I heard that this supplement is also great topicaly as a skin moisterizer.

Atkins Diet sucks and is sooooo bad for you. I remember when my ex went on it. It was such a pain because he couldn't eat anything except the probably worst foods in the world for you.

It was like, what do you want to do for breakfast honey?

Reply: Bacon and porkchops

What do you want for dinner?

Reply: Steak

and it was all he ate. I can eat all the bacon I want and lose all this weight! In the meantime, you end up having a coronary or a heart attack from clogged arteries not to mention all the other yucky stuff that comes along with eating nothing but red meat.

I'm sure you can eat other things in the Atkins diet but I always thought it was lame.

You really want to lose weight? Become a vegetarian, cut out your saturated fats and burn more calories than you take in. It's pretty simple.

Exactly and try having people over for dinner that are on this stupid diet. They can't drink what we have, they can only eat the meat, can't have appetizers and when cooking for a bunch of people, pasta is often easier unless of course you have to cook a whole seperate meal for the Atkins People.

Oh yeah, I tried that Michelob Ultra low carb beer and it tasted like dirty water.

GO CARBS!

I was informed that this would actually be a good thing for our cause. We could eat the potatoes, and this also means that they would be buying the potatoes...keeping our carb industry alive!



You go girl! Everyone eat your potatoes. PO TA TOES! Yellow are the nummiest. fry 'em, mash 'em, put 'em in a stew!

Atkins really is making a huge impact on these industries. So Support the Cause!B|

In keeping with the cause, I had a nice helping of baked fries and breaded fried chicken tonight, and finished it with a couple sinfully awesome chocolates.B|

Every major predator in the world follows the Atkins diet.

Almost all of them are endangered.

I think if you're not fat - then eat whatever the hell you like, unless you face colesterol or other dietry issues.

If someone is fat, they got that way by pushing stuff into their mouths, probably while sitting down. Eat less, exercise more, or eat the same, and exercise a lot more. There's no secret to weight loss. Burn what you eat, or weigh more than you do today.

It's not that simple. If it was a basic material balance problem, you wouldn't be braced for the results.

It isn't so much how much you eat as it is what you eat. Some foods trigger the fat-storage mechanism in your body and some don't.

If your diet is heavy on the "get fat" items, you can work out until the cows come home and you will be both athletic and overweight. Think sumo.

Wow Val, you're such a rebel, and an inspiration to us all. :D

Viva le resistance!! :D:D

For what it's worth, I'll be eating Wendys or McDonalds again today I'm sure, does that qualify as an act of protest?? ;)

I think it is that simple.

Whether you take the English in 1315, the Irish in the 1840's, Ukranians in the 1930's, Jews in concentration camps in early 1940's or people in Biafra in the 70's or Ethiopia in the 80's or rural citizens of Robert Mugabe's Zimbabwe today, when you feed people less - they get real thin. So thin in fact, that bodies literally eat themselves alive, and die.

If you think it's a human thing, it's not. Dogs, cattle, horses etc also get thin when they don't eat.

People and animals get fat when they eat. Animals use that fat when times are hard. We go to the mall every single day, and we eat. We are literally eating (and smoking) ourselves to death.

The only way to get fat is to eat.

The only way to lose fat, is to burn more kilojoules than you're feeding yourself.

You can make that as complicated as you like, and prey on people's insecurities, and make money from diet books, or home gym equipment, but it's real simple.
