Funny, it was YOU who just gave a good demonstration of doing exactly
that. You ignored playing the video about the study, which was
central to this very thread before spouting off, drawing conclusions
and making comments about it.


You treat the Atkins book as an error free
Bible. *You treat your own interprations of the book as Papal bulls.

I'm always willing to discuss any errors that you claim are in the
book. The way to do that would be for YOU to cite those errors.
Just give us some page references, then we can all go read them, see
exactly what Atkins said, as opposed to what YOU claim he said, which
is frequently wrong.


That's why I rarely respond to your citations from the book.


You rarely respond to those citations because they are there in black
and white and completely contradict what you claimed Atkins said.
You make the bogus claim that I have taken things out of context, then
just slink away because you have no cites to back up your made up
crap. I provide not only the excerpts of the relevant Atkins
statements direct from the book, but also the page numbers so anyone
can go read them and see the context. You have yet to do that, which
speaks volumes about who is full of crap here.


*I also
rarely respond to folks who quote scripture as if it were error free and
they were the sole source of what it means.

I observe and study. *Lacking the funding to conduct experiments I can't
conduct all of the steps of the scientific method but I long ago learned
that scripture references aren't a part of the method.

Really? Atkins had many thousands of patients in his practice over
many decades. How many do you have Doug? Right now, I personally
don't know a single person doing Atkins. Over the decades that I have
done Atkins I also don't know a single person that did Atkins for any
length of time. A mere few tried some version of LC, but I would not
pretend to have any idea what they actually did nor did I have any
insight into the results. Nor did I see their bloodwork, track
their weight loss, etc. So, are you running a clinic? Wait, I
know. You're making "internet observations" from whomever shows up
here in this almost comatose newsgroup, makes a couple posts about
whatever and then disappears. And you claim to "tabulate" that into
"data". What a crock.


Appeal to authority all you like it still doesn't make you right when
observation shows otherwise. *And so you ignore observation.

Yeah, I'll continue to cite Atkins every time you make a post that
claims he said something that he never said. Like the bold faced lie
you made in this thread. You claimed Atkins said that adding carbs
only causes weight loss to slow when your carbs go over CCLL (critical
carb level for losing). Anyone that really knows the Atkins diet
knows that is impossible by defintion alone. CCLL is the point at
which weight loss STOPS or REVERSES, so how the hell could weight loss
just slow when you go beyond it? JUST GIVE US THE PAGE REFERENCE
FROM ATKINS THAT SAYS THAT.

And note that this has NOTHING to do with observation. It's a great
example of YOU lying again about what ATkins said.

It's also funny how you claim you just ignore my posts, yet here you
are, but you can't provide the simple page reference. It's clear
why, and that's because it doesn't exist.

Over time you've earned your reputation here. Two others in this very
thread had similar issues before I ever entered the thread. So go
ahead and continue to compare yourself to Atkins and tell us how your
"data" is equal to or better than his. We all know you're just a
blowhard.
