It would be rather unlikely that a person who lost 100 lbs on Atkins would be worse off, compared to not losing the weight. so eating lots of fat even tho it means losing weight would be considered a good thing? 100 pounds is a tremendous accomplishment, regardless of how it's acheived. Assuming it wasn't the result of illness or a tapeworm, yes. Donna |

Do you folks think it is a scam? Is that a rhetorical question? This diet finds somewhat more discussion on alt.support.diet.low-carb, rather than here. it always gets me when people post messages like the OP's on Usenet. i figure the best way to get a topic discussed it to actually introduce it as a topic, rather than just whining about why no one talks about it anymore. losing 100 lbs on any diet (except, possibly, Adkins) is great! It would be rather unlikely that a person who lost 100 lbs on Atkins would be worse off, compared to not losing the weight. so eating lots of fat even tho it means losing weight would be considered a good thing? I would consider it a good thing, yes. Dangers of eating fat, as such, have been overstated. Yet a low fat diet will decrease LDL cholesterol (the bad kind). Here's a recent study: http://tinyurl.com/72law "CONCLUSIONS: Previous national dietary guidelines primarily emphasized avoiding saturated fat and cholesterol; as a result, the guidelines probably underestimated the potential LDL cholesterol-lowering effect of diet. In this study, emphasis on including nutrient-dense plant-based foods, consistent with recently revised national guidelines, increased the total and LDL cholesterol-lowering effect of a low-fat diet." As usual this study contradicts your religious beliefs so therefore I know you will consider it "junk science." -- the volleyballchick |
