I'm in the mood for responding to a troll--just in that argumentative
kind of mood.

Counting calories IS a diet plan, genius. And like all those "fad"
diets you lose and then you gain back. Unless you count calories every
day until you are in the grave you run the risk of gaining it all back
or more. Most people, on every diet plan, gain weight back eventually.
Eventually willpower caves, **** happens, health problems arise and if
you are part of the poopulation that has a natural tendency for
overweight your body will put it back on.

You are an idiot who hasn't researched anything. You like many doctors
ignore obvious biological problems because fat people are just stupid
gluttons who are looking for a quick fix.

Unlike your "count calories" method, Atkins actually addresses why
your hungry and doesn't simply say you eat "this" much then have to
stop no matter what. He addresses how the body reacts to foods,
allergies, and why some people get abnormal cravings.


And you might notice that the boom in obesity coincided with the
gov.&medical establishment's acceptance of FDA/AMA recommendation on
what a healthy diet is and how bad all fats are(which is how it was
originally). In the last 30 years there have also been repeated
exercise booms... anyone recall Jane Fonda, Susan Powder, Richard
Simmons, bowflex, and the explosion of gyms all over the country. All
of these occurred yet american health and obesity continued to pork
up. How can it be that there are more home gyms, Ballys, dieting
plans, dieting companies, diet foods, and everything under the sun --
yet people get fatter. They must all not work. Exercise doesn't work.
Weight Watchers doesnt' work, slimfast doesn't work, Richard Simmons
doesn't work.

Amazing how statistics can be used to propose a lie, isn't it?

Low carbohydrate diet regimens have been in existence for decades.

Dr.

Atkins published his first book back in the 70's based on the same
concepts as his current book. If these plans worked in the long run,
the release of new diet books wouldn't even be necessary. The

followers

would have actually been capable of maintaining weight loss by
eliminating high carbohydrate foods for over 25 years. Their long

term

weight loss success stories would have spread worldwide as the cure

to

obesity. Paradoxically, as more and more diets appear, the weight

loss

industry continues to get richer, and America continues to grow

fatter.
