Why Bad Diets Are Bad?

If disagreeing with those who have a closed minded viewpoint is trolling
then yes, I am trolling.

Even admitting that he's trolling. Ah well, one more for the kill file
after I post this.

One is lying
about Dr Atkins being overweight when he slipped on the ice and broke
his skull.

Who mentioned Atkins death?

I was the first to mention it but sure enough you dove into it face
first with lies. At 195 and 6' he was somewhere between at idle body
weight and a bit below it on his last day at work. He'd started looking
a bit gaunt in his last years but less so than most men his age. Life
long low carbing was very good for him. But do go right ahead and state
that he didn't have the body fat percentage of a competitive body
builder. It's what trolls do.

You do not need to go into Ketosis

True or low fat systems would work for no one.

is gains you nothing in a real sense.

False.

Carb cravings, for those who get carb cravings, turn off while in
ketosis. Ketonurian is easily tested and guarantees ketosis. The lack
of carb cravings while low carbing may be the biggest advantage that
low carbing has so a system that turns off carb cravings for those who
get them is a huge gain.

There is the initial water loss from low carbing and it is more for
folks who go into ketosis. That lower water retention tends to lower
blood pressure in folks who previously had high blood pressure. Dr A
stated that lowered blood pressure was the single most predictable
result of his plan.

Claiming that they already
had some degree of damage is disingenuous as all people have varying
degrees of kidney efficiency loss, particularly those who have no cared for
their health with regard to diet and exercise. When was the last time that
you had a full work-up?

I get urine tests every 3 years starting the year before I started low
carbing.

Irrelevancies about competitive body builders.

Why irrelevant?

Because there are a list of qualifiers for using his plan. Being a
marathoner or competitive body builder means his plan is not
appropriate.

In fact there are some low carbing marathoners and they do fine for
their age brackets but they aren't the competitors and they do follow
all of the Atkins guidelines including increased carb intake based on
amount of exercise. They tend to be at or over 100 grams per day on
their CCLM maintenance plans while running marathons. Low carbing does
increase endurance when the directions regarding exercise are followed.
As you did body building when you started it is clear you ignored that
part of the directions. Other parts as well - What's your CCLL and CCLM
and how did you measure them? No need to respond as I will have you in
my kill file once I post this.

It isn't just people who are fat who look for optimum diets
- people like me are just as relevant as people like you.

Different people, different optimal plan.

If a diet is
damaging to an athlete of any type, then it is not a good long term idea
for anyone.

Stupid people sometimes think so. They are incorrect. One percenters
need top percenter plans. Large population segment folks need large
segment plans.
