: "conjason" wrote in message ... Has anyone done or doing this diet? I am so interested in this diet and would like to know why there are not many people mentioning this diet. I think this is the best! think about the concept for a moment. Our bodies were 'designed' hundreds of thousands of years ago, and havn't evolved much over the past tens of thousands of years. People from thousands of years ago didn't know their blood type, and managed to survive without getting obese. what's changed between then and now? sugar. refined, cheap and copious amounts of sugar. Drop the sugar, exercise more, and get plenty of protein, vitamins and essential fats. The rest will take care of itself. Sugar, yes. Also, to a great degree, exercise. Even as recently as 100-120 years ago most of the civilized world was agrarian and worked the fields all day. Then industrial. Now we sit on our asses and type (like I'm doing!) We have to 'make' time to exercise, rather than it being integrated. -- --------------- "Teach a child to read and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test."—George W Bush, Townsend, Tenn., Feb. 21, 2001 |

I think this is the best! Well, it's utter nonsense, for one thing. Diet books sells diets. We give knowledge away for free. Are you buying or learning?

That's because that "diet" is bogus, and has no scientific basis. The only value in that diet was the $$ the author raked in from selling books to gullible people desperate for a simplistic solution. Hm. And here I thought Bob Atkins was dead. |

About as dead as your credibility. Say, did you ever look it up after I showed you that you didn't know what it meant? Bob |

Back then, people didn't know how to eat properly, so they relied their own hunger and appetite. One of the side effect of exercise, outside of just burning calories, is added body consciousness. People who exercise tend to be better tuned to their body and feelings. Now, everyone knows about carbs, proteins, caloric needs and all. And obesity is increasing at a dramatic pace. Ironic isn't it? |

In my experience, most people can't tell you a wild guess at the macronutrient ratio of what they eat within 20%. And they have NO IDEA how many calories they eat or even how many calories they OUGHT to eat. SO, obesity is increasing at a dramatic pace. Makes sense, doesn't it? Dally |
