Trader4 said that the Atkins statements disagree with mine. *(Alrighty

Ahhh, if that were in fact what all of what you actually posted.
However in your "summary" abouve, you conveniently left out this line:


"The 2002 edition claimed that by 2 months in "most" see better
cholesterol numbers. "

Which contradicts your conclusion:

"So it's not a sure thing that low carbing will cause improvement, but
it is a sure thing that you need to wait half a year before the tests
start
to actually mean anything because of how the numbers go in the first
few weeks."


If by two months, Atkins said cholesterol is already improving for
most people, it doesn't seem to me that it's a sure thing you must
wait 6 months for the tests to mean anything. Is it likely to be even
more improved at 6 months than at 3? Yes. But that doesn't equate
to the measurements at 3 months being meaningless. Suppose someone
has very high triglycerides. Those plummet within a couple weeks on
LC and would surely show a marked change at 3 months. Capiche?




Thanks for reminding me of why I eventually added him to my kill file.

Glad to be there. I'm sure I'm in good company.

You added me because you can't stand me pointing out when you misquote
Atkins and when challenged you can't produce a single page reference
from an Atkins book to back up your bogus claims. Instead, a couple
months ago, you had the gall to compare yourself to him and claim your
"data", allegedly collected from anonymous internet posts made your
claims just as valid as his. And don't act like I'm the only one
who's noticed what you do.
