This tracks with the experience of my ex-sister-in-law. She got diarrhea.

I didn't know about the headaches. I get migraines so that's one more
reason (besides the risk to my cholesterol) for me never to even consider
this.


Eating low-carb may cause diarrhea because gut microbes depend on
carbs to live. Because of this, this method is sometimes used to
treat candida yeast infections. It passes in a few days.

If you have grain headaches you should consider a low-carb diet. A
recent study in the journal "Neurology" showed a 90% remission of
migraine headaches when grain was eliminated from the diet ( they're
not my grain headaches they're your grain headaches.

Citation? I was unable to turn up anything in Neurology online.

The food industry would be more than content to watch the health of
the population deteriorate if it meant more profits. The fact that by
people eating less of their junk much of the population will gain
health benefits is something they could not care less about. The only
thing that drives these entities is profit above all else, including
the well being of the human race. Such is the case for all multi
billion dollar industries. whether its air polluters, junk food
makers, or chemical poisoners. They are all happy to kill off
millions of people so long as they make a buck. To accomplish this
however they need the support. They need protection from the masses.
That is where the government comes in. Its main purpose is to protect
industry from the public while at the same time duping them into
thinking it is the other way around. This is done by setting up
medical research institutions and (SELF)regulatory agencies(always
stacked with people representing industry instead of the public) they
market and legitimize their poisoning of the public. This is the sad
truth that most people refuse to accept.

Now that I'm on the "outside loop," I see how insane the Atkins diet is.
I roll my eyes when I see a new low-carb product advertised on TV... it's
just not healthy.

There are aspects of the insane in those fake "low carb products", I do
agree with you. Many of them not only taste like crap but are full of
questionable ingredients anyway, thus pretty much defeating the purpose of
a healthy lifestyle.

However, a low carb diet doesn't need to have any fake foods in it at all.
Eating natural foods while eschewing refined sugar and starchy grains is a
good thing. I'm not "on Atkins" but I got many of my ideas for low-carbing
from reading the books. Low-carb dieting is a great self-contained
appetite suppressant, and healthy meal maker all at the same time. (in my
experience)

How do you know its not the other way around? That this Atkins stuff
isn't the quackery that the food industry is peddling now, regardless of the
health of the public?

The Atkins diet is convenient for Americans. Americans have come to
believe that steak, pork chops, butter, whole milk, etc., in unlimited,
gargantuan ammounts, are their birth rights and they feel "cheated" if
anybody tells them otherwise (donuts too, but most people would rather forgo
the donut in favor of the meat- it's more manly). In short, Atkins tells
them things they desperately want to hear. You can eat all the bad foods
and never get fat.

I just want to know how the Atkins folks plan on feeding a world full of
9 billion people who want to eat pork chops, and bacon-wrapped-cheese at
every meal? Oh wait... a couple billion are going to have to starve. "No
manioc and yuca for you little man, we need it to feed our herds".
