Nothing casual about my comments, I have tried Atkins, exactly as Atkins
taught and it was not a good diet.

Didn't I just read, from you: "There are no such things as bad diets,
there are only bad dieters." ?

From the point of view of losing weight, yes. I also noted at the same
time that some diets are less healthy than others. Atkins like any diet
that cuts calories, works. From a general health and fitness point of view
it sucks.


I went from Atkins to increased carbs,
basically cutting all processed carbs but not cutting back on carbs from
fresh food, even high carb fruit and vegetables. That worked - I have
energy and I maintain a very low body fat percentage.

This right here shows you did *not* do Atkins as written.


Er, um - Bull****.
