'Put fat children on Atkins diet'
I don't find cutting fat completely out of my diet works either. Its
good to have some fat, its healthy. I've stopped trying to cut off all the fat trimings on my steaks now. LOL. Robert Klute wrote in message . ..

Cutting calories is much easier if you cut fat. Much more "bang for the buck". Wrong. At least for me. I found cutting calories easier when I put fat back in my diet and reduced refined carbohydrates. I feel full longer when there is sufficient fat in my diet. When I ate a low fat diet, I had hunger cravings frequently. |

'Put fat children on Atkins diet'
"bencon" wrote in message om... So if we are supposed to have carbs to fuel us throughout the day and night like you say then when is the stored fat going to get used? How about when we are working out or doing anything active??!! Requires ketosis its being made to sound like we should never get into that state. What has happened that no one gets any exercise anymore? Any type of diet that completely cuts an element out is wrong. Somehow I cant see it being wrong to cut refined sugar, white flour and the likes from my diet but as for cutting a whole element then yes your right its wrong thats why low carb way of eating doesnt. |

... Requires ketosis its being made to sound like we should never get into that state. No, what we mean is that spending your whole life in ketosis is wrong. Being under fat metabolism during an aerobic effort, or before a meal because you're hungry is just part of how our bodies work all the time. What has happened that no one gets any exercise anymore? Any type of diet that completely cuts an element out is wrong. Somehow I cant see it being wrong to cut refined sugar, white flour and the likes from my diet but as for cutting a whole element then yes your right its wrong thats why low carb way of eating doesnt. I don't see what's being wrong with eating white flour or refined sugar from time to time. There is no reason to cut these either. Glycemic index is actually modifed by what you eat. If I eat my white bread as part of a sandwich with both proteins and fat, the meal as a whole is going to have a low glycemic index. If I eat my sugar inside my chocolate, it gets a low glycemic index (70% cocoa chocolate = index of 20). If I eat my white bread as part of a decent and balanced meal, the overall glycemic index is also going to be reasonnable. Likewise if I eat my pasta with a complex sauce and some fibers. Just like fruits tend to have a reasonnable glycemic index because of their fiber content. Besides, the problem with low carbing is that it's like religions : people see their own way as THE way. So, you have low carbers who see this as an excuse to eat plenty of animal fat without restriction. You have low carbers who think re-carbing is part of a low carb diet. You have others, like you, who think that low carbing is in fact slow carbing. So, in a way, you are among the reasonnable part of the low carbers. Depending on your daily intake of these slow carbs, you might actually be doing something pretty close to a balanced diet! The problem is that when people talk about the amazing results of low carbs, it's often impossible to know which precise low carbing religion they're talking about. So, it appears like the most extremists ways of low carbing (like eating plenty of meat and fat with no pasta - you know these do exist!) are getting incredible results, which I honestly doubt. Eh, if I look at what I eat daily and if I remove all the slow carbs, most of my days are pretty low on fast carbs (high glycemic index), probably under 10-20g. On the other days, I can still pretend I'm re-carding. Anyway, even on these days, glycemic index remains reasonnably low. Can I pretend to be a low carber as well? |

Being under fat metabolism during an aerobic effort, or before a meal because you're hungry is just part of how our bodies work all the time.

No, what we mean is that spending your whole life in ketosis is wrong. Whew. Since there is not one low carb plan in existance that does this, your point is irrelevant. Lictor, you do fine when you discuss issues other than low carb. You need to either read at least one low carb book so you actually know something about the topic, or stick to the several topics that you *do* know about. But please drop these false statements about low carb you've been making. It distracts from your posts that do have value. I don't see what's being wrong with eating white flour or refined sugar from time to time. There is no reason to cut these either. You're not wheat intolerant (or you are without knowing it). You're not hypoglycemic with reactive insulin reactions. Many people *do* have those problems and they *should* avoid foods. Also note that no harm is ever done by avoiding those foods. Avoiding white flour and/or refined sugar is mandatory for some, beneficial to many, and harmfull to none. Besides, the problem with low carbing is that it's like religions : people see their own way as THE way. Nope. We get plenty of antis telling us we're wrong, though. Funny how the antis always end up making ridiculously false statements to arrive at their conclusions, though. You have low carbers who think re-carbing is part of a low carb diet. You have others, like you, who think that low carbing is in fact slow carbing. And your point is? Other than not knowing enough about low carb to be able to tell what is on topic and what is not ... Carb ups and glycemic index are indeed parts of several well known low carb plans and they are available to all based on the science that low carbing is based upon. Eh, if I look at what I eat daily and if I remove all the slow carbs, most of my days are pretty low on fast carbs (high glycemic index), probably under 10-20g. On the other days, I can still pretend I'm re-carding. Anyway, even on these days, glycemic index remains reasonnably low. Can I pretend to be a low carber as well? Not until you actually learn about it for real. |
