Atkins was right
In light of all the trolls, I thought I'd throw some "anti-troll" text out
for discussion: Regardless of whether or not studies indicate that low carb is right or wrong, I have lost about 50 pounds, have improved my HDL, triglycerides, and total cholesterol/HDL ratio, am exercising more than I ever have, and feel great. I feel much better now than I did on low fat, which I ate for about 20 years. Low carb has helped my blood sugar control immensely. So I believe Atkins was and is right and you trolls can quit proselytizing: you can spew out all the studies you want, but you're not changing my mind. -- Bob in CT Remove ".x" to reply |

Good for you, Bob. I think it is like the blind men and the elephant.
Every diet in the world is good for SOMEONE. The trick is finding the one that is right for YOU. (Just like religion and everything else in this world, huh?)

Low carb/Atkins is a diet that I can stick to without major problems. Doing low carb for almost a year has taught me a huge amount about how I react to various sorts of foods. and I feel great. I expect the transition from OWL to maintenance will be pretty smooth for the above reasons. And there's the lost weight of course Pete -- 287/195/175 |

Atkins was right
I hear it often, "Atkins is a very unhealthy diet." When I hear it, I'm in
a position where I can't talk back, but here is what I think - REAL LOUD! Oh, really? It is unhealthy not to eat cookies, candy, cakes, and pies? Since when is white flour a health food, jerk? And how is eating like our ancestors ate an unhealthy diet? It is obvious you are talking through your arse and haven't read the book or practiced the diet at all. Thanks, I feel better now.

Which ancestors are you talking about? Mine used to eat 1-1.5kg of bread a day. Unless you're not of European descent or your ancestors happened to be the lucky few in the nobility (in which case they added a lot of meat to their bread), I doubt your ancestors where eating anything different. Unless you're speaking of ancestors from even further ago? Like before the invention of agriculture. If so, it's hard to say if they were eating healthy. Dying at 18-25 on average doesn't leave much time for unhealthy food to kill you. I bet you would survive that long on a mayonnaise on white bread diet... |

As for your ancestors being bread eaters..... Why don't we have teeth
like a cow or horse? Not to mention 2 stomachs to help digest grasses. Surely over millions of years of evolution, the healthier veggies would have adapted much better and survived to mate more often. Looks to me like we are designed to be carnivores. Born to eat meat, and love every minute of it. -- JK Sinrod Sinrod Stained Glass Studios www.sinrodstudios.com Coney Island Memories www.sinrodstudios.com/coneymemories |
