Atkins' diet bores people thin.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.../ixportal.html
The low-carbohydrate Atkins diet may help shed excess pounds simply because it is so boring, a research paper claims today. Danish nutritionists say the "monotony and simplicity" of the regime could suppress the appetite and reduce a dieter's calorie intake. But there was no evidence that cutting out starchy and sugary foods while eating more fat and protein boosted energy expenditure, a claim often made by supporters of the diet. About 20 million people are thought to have followed a version of the Atkins diet. The nutritionists, led by Dr Arne Astrup from the Centre of Advanced Food Research in Copenhagen, reviewed results of three clinical trials into Atkins and examined claims made by its supporters.

I have never heard that claim. About 20 million people are thought to have followed a version of the Atkins diet.

That, imo, is total and utter nonsense. If the diet was really that boring, people would seek out something else to eat. No one is going to be bored into losing weight. Geesh. Boredom is usually a reason for eating too much, in my experience. :: :: :: Danish nutritionists say the "monotony and simplicity" of the regime :: could suppress the appetite and reduce a dieter's calorie intake.

Who cares if they can't find something more interesting to say than this. We've heard this nonsense many, many times before.

Feeling you had less energy and feeling you have more energy say nothing about whether eating less sugar and more fat boosts energy expenditure. Your statement and the alleged claim are not at all the same.

They should try eating rice cakes for a while. Or pasta/rice every day (sometimes twice a day), 350+ days a year. I experienced a huge energy increase after going low carb. However, with exercising five days a week, I've had to increase my carbs somewhat. -- Bob in CT Remove ".x" to reply
