Atkins+Low Carb equals Death
Why so? The Atkins diet, many believe, has associated health concerns including hyperlipidemia and the adverse effects of ketosis. Commercial (book) diets like Atkins have horrible failure rates and the majority who fail on these diets rebound weight to a higher level WHAT A LOAD. there are no adverse effects of ketosis. Ketones are the original source you body, heart and brain wants and needs to run on - WE HUMAN MORONS made glucose the new fuel. That is why we are sick, fat, lethargic and stupid. The only health risks associated with low carb dieting are the idiots that dont read and eve know what they are doing - like they eat the ketchup on their protein wrapped burger, etc etc. Every EVERY every diet book has horrible failure weights and 75% or higher regain the weight. DUH. This isn't just Atkins. Even gastric bypass patients gain the weight back. Staying thin is a constant struggle, you can't let up. Most people do the diet wrong, cheat, give up, go back to eating crap...etc etc. The diet didnt fail, they did. Most diets help you lose weight but low carb is the only diet (argue with me if you want but when you are dying of cancer - another disease you CANNOT get while low carb eating, you can think of this post) that cures diseases and makes you unbelievably healthy, happy and sane. |

Could you please stop trying to help? Low carb doesn't prevent people from getting cancer, nor does it cure diseases or guarantee happiness. It can be a valuable tool for controlling diabetes - I've been using it for over 5 years and it's been a boon for diabetes management - but it doesn't cure anything. I'm not immune from cancer, and low carbing didn't prevent my clinical depression either. Low carb is a dietary approach. It's not a religion. Relax a bit. Carmen |

Wow, yet more evidence that doctors know little about nutrition. The use of complex carbohydrates in the diet in a balanced way (as in the Zone diet) accomplishes the health benefits such as having a lower fasting insulin level without the risks. Did you mean lower fasting blood glucose levels? r -- Nothing beats the bandwidth of a station wagon filled with DLT tapes. |

from getting cancer, nor does it cure diseases or guarantee happiness. It can be a valuable tool for controlling diabetes - I've been using it for over 5 years and it's been a boon for diabetes management - but it doesn't cure anything. I'm not immune from cancer, and low carbing didn't prevent my clinical depression either. Low carb is a dietary approach. It's not a religion. Relax a bit. Carmen actually Carmen, you are wrong. It cures many diseases. Maybe you need to read up a bit on the diet you have chosen. As far as your clinical depression, how many grams of carb do you eat a day? I would guess you are not under 10g a day. Maybe you should try that before you state it doesnt work. Further, I was bleeding for months straight and after 1 month of not eating carb I have had normal periods since. Doesnt cure anything? How about cured my gallbladder problems, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, pcos, depression.... hmmmm and everyone else I have ever put on my diet. As far as cancer is concerned, I would glad to share the info with you if you want to email me privately. Cancer is not caused by sugar but it cant live without it. PERIOD. Everyone is sick with diseases directly correlated with the amount of carb this society consumes, I mean DAMN - people cant even get through one day without a piece of fruit. It is sickening how many carbs people eat and they keep getting fatter and sicker. You explain it if sugar isnt the culprit! Just all of a sudden every 50 year old man is dying of a heart attack and every woman has polycystic ovarian syndrome????? THINK. READ. RESEARCH. There is a correlation. And for you non low carbers - get over your brain washing that you need carbs to live, blah blah blah - who told you this? The same doctors that would go out of business if you werent sick. THINK. |

I'm not here to defend or condem that Atkins approach - I'm simply
interested in the truth - "and the truth shall set you free". I'm interested in hearing 'both sides of the arguments' and read whatever pro and con arguments I can find. However... I've noticed that your arguments are often based on obsolete research. Much has changed, both in terms of scientific research, and prevailing opinions since 1993 (the copyright date on the book you reference below)...

RD, Chapter 2 tries to explain that Carbohydrates don't turn into fat. This is a little better at least, with the 3rd edition coming out in 2002. I'm certainly not trying to discourage you from playing 'Devil's Advocate' and expressing your views about Atkins... I'm just saying I think you would have a much stronger argrument if you referred to more recent studies and opinions of reputable experts in the field of nutrition (Harvard, etc.) |
