And you speak from what personal experience?

You're nothing but a stupid, blowhard or very, very ignorant troll. You
obviously have no self control and stay fat because you eat like a pig. Or,
who knows, mahybe you just need to get laid? PMS? Mentally ill? What
other explanations could there be for someone so irrationally bitter,
hostile and jealous of others' success? Go back to your trough while we
continue to slim down and enjoy lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure,
lower triglycerides, lower weight and great health on Atkins. Idiot.

Chrissy, you will be in my prayers that God will give you the strength
and courage to endure the insults that will likely be directed at you
for being truthful.

Byron, you will be in my prayers that God will give you the wisdom and
insight to ask the right questions to bring out the truth.

The folks murmuring in the dark corners of Usenet remain in my prayers
that God help them accept Christ so that they can come out into the
light.

Atkins Diet Shows Surprising Results, Researcher Says; One-year Study
Shows Diet May Be As Effective And Safe As Conventional Diets

Philadelphia., PA -- A 3-center study led by researchers at the Weight
and Eating Disorders Program of the University of Pennsylvania School of
Medicine reports the results of the first controlled trial of the Atkins
Diet. The Atkins Diet limits carbohydrates but permits unrestricted
amounts of protein and fat. Compared to a conventional, high-
carbohydrate, low-calorie approach, Atkins dieters lost twice as much
weight at 3 and 6 months but there was no difference between the groups
at 1 year. Despite the lack of differences in weight loss at 1 year, the
Atkins dieters had significantly greater increases in good cholesterol
(HDL) and greater decreases in triglycerides.

This study was funded through grants from the National Institutes of
Health (NIH)

Of course this was only a 1 year study, but where's your source?

Can you point out a particular study?

i

Get a copy of _Fat, Fighting the Obesity Epidemic_, by Robert Pool.
It will describe study after study.


E

Fwiw, the 2PD Approach was *not* part of the cited study.

Andrew

Nor will it ever be part of any study.

Please don't pray for me. You have enough of the world to pray for as
it is. Plus you think we really believe that you pray for each and
every troll you get into a ****ing contest with on the internet?

If it walks like a duck.................

Weight loss diets do not work because they do not alter one's genetics.

95% and more weight regained is the failure rate for all diets



Correction: This is the failure rate of the diets that were part of the cited NIH
study.

Your unrequested plugs for your 2PD aside, non of these groups are
specifically Christian, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who finds
your professing the wish that we all switch to your preferred religion
and "truth" to be offensive. I have nothing against Christians,
but this is not the place to proselytize.

You might want to take another look at Matthew 6:1-7 and Matthew 7:1-5

Self-congratulating Christians expressing the wish for others to
See The Light in a discussion that had nothing to do with religion
usually amounts to nothing more than a thinly-veiled saccharine
"**** you," anyway.
