Benefits of ketogenic diets

The problem with that argument is it boils down to most/all low carbers staying at Induction levels. *Which is yet another reason why I stress that "following the directions" includes not digging for excuses to stay on phase 1 of a 4 phase process. One doesn't need an excuse when Dr. Atkins said in his book that there's nothing wrong with staying at induction levels if one is content and all is going well. *He was right. *The "if" matters. Thank you. Doug has been lying about this for years, misrepresenting Atkins. Like you, I can read what Atkins wrote. If Doug wants to offer his alternative plan, I have no problem with it. But I do have a problem when he continues to claim that Atkins said you have to move up from induction, that you shouldn't extend it. I also have a problem when he claims that it's going to make you stall. Where is the study that shows that? crickets. Actually as you point out, Atkins was very positive towards those that wanted to stay at induction levels longer. One of the questions he posed for those considering whether to stay in induction was whether they had a lot of weight to lose. It would be mighty strange to encourage people who have more weight to lose to stay at induction level if Atkins knew they would lose more weight by going higher. In my personal experience, I've always lost the most weight when at or close to induction level. Now, who should I believe? Atkins and my scale, or Doug? |
