Now Harvard study backs up Atkins diet
-- read and post daily, it works! rosie It has bothered me all my life that I do not paint like everybody else. .........................~Henri Matisse "Duane Storey" wrote in message om... I am so sick of hearing people say "a calorie is a calorie is a calorie" or that the metabolic advantage of Atkins violates the laws of thermodynamics.. These people obviously don't understand the laws of thermodynamics.. THE HUMAN BODY IS NOT A CLOSED SYSTEM. We vary what goes in, and the body varies what goes out.. Also, our metabolism is not fixed -- the energy needs vary with both diet, exercise, and environmental conditions.. The Harvard study showed that people on a low carb diet can eat more and lose the same, if not more weight.. why do reputable researchers(I would question that status) feel the need to blindy attack the results.. I think it's pointing to the obvious -- that the medical establishment, nutritionalists in general, *do not understand what happens in the body with respect to dieting, and energy usage.* i believe you are correct! This isn't anyone's fault, it just means that we need to re-evaluate what we think we know about nutrition and metabolism. and re-evaluate and re-evaluate........................."the state of the art of medicine" is ALWAYS changing. i remember when i first came to ASD, talking to diabetics about going LOW CARB and just "giving it a chance" (you would have thought i asked them to sacrifice their first born.........................) THE STATE OF THE ART OF MEDICINE is always changing, and that's a good thing! |

I was also taught that in research, you have to believe results over theory. Otherwise, you're not doing your job as a researcher.. If there's a discrepency, we have to figure out why.. I've always been taught, as a researcher, that results have to be stastically significant before you go haring off and making press releases about them. http://makeashorterlink.com/?J51F65566 Full link: http://groups.google.ca/groups?q=aut...andecomIMRETAR DED.net&rnum=46 |

Now Harvard study backs up Atkins diet
"ron lorden" wrote in message
om... Carbs increase serum glucose, resulting in increased insulin to facilitate glucose's entry into muscle and fat cells which could result in stored body fat. Obviously, this is a serious oversimplification of a complex phenomenon, but isn't the notion that a calorie is a calorie, etc. an equal oversimplification? How in your oversimplification do you conclude that the more body fat that is stored equals a reduction in metabolism? So lets suppose that every bit of food eaten gets converted to bodyfat (with 100% efficiency), so where exactly do your cells get the energy they need? -- 261/200/175 Keto from 04/28/03- 07/20/03 Legally keto once a year. If ANY diet places you in a negative energy balance, you'll lose weight. If not, you won't. |

Also, our metabolism is not fixed -- the energy needs vary with both diet, exercise, and environmental conditions.. I must have missed it, but can you show me where metabolism was measured, and how it increased from pre to post diet conditions of the low-carbers to indicate that an increase in metabolism took place? |
