Longest scientific study yet backs Atkins diet
Peanutjake wrote:
But my question is what is the effect of each type of diet on a diabetic? The second study showed significantly better glycemic control on low-carb. Which seems frankly so damned obvious to me that it seems ridiculous to need a study. People with impaired carbohydrate metabolism should limit carbs! Surprise! Blond moments in science... -- As you accelerate your food, it takes exponentially more and more energy to increase its velocity, until you hit a limit at C. This energy has to come from somewhere; in this case, from the food's nutritional value. Thus, the faster the food is, the worse it gets. -- Mark Hughes, comprehending the taste of fast food |

But the Atkins dieters lost almost all their weight in the first six months, then remained at a steady weight. Which is precisely the PROBLEM I had with Atkins. After six months I entered a six month stall, and have only broken that stall by switching to a low-calorie diet. doug Crossposting removed sci.med.nutrition,alt.support.diet.low-carb,alt.support.diabetes,misc.health.diabetes,sci .med.cardiology Mr. Lerner, you seem to believe that following the Atkins diet requires one to consume great quantities of food. After six months you entered a six month stall because you were eating too much. Do not blame the Atkins diet. Gluttony is not on the list of rules for the Atkins diet. Perhaps a thorough reading of the section in DANDR titled "The Atkins and you diet" is in order. It is near the end of most editions just before the recipe section.

Longest scientific study yet backs Atkins diet
"But my question is what is the effect of each type of diet on a
diabetic?" From the year long research: " In the subgroup of 54 persons with diabetes, hemoglobin A[1c] levels improved more with the low-carbohydrate diet, but the difference was not statistically significant in sensitivity analyses. Both groups had similar changes in other lipids and in insulin sensitivity." |

"The second study showed significantly better glycemic control on

Not according to the study: " In the subgroup of 54 persons with diabetes, hemoglobin A[1c] levels improved more with the low-carbohydrate diet, but the difference was not statistically significant in sensitivity analyses. Both groups had similar changes in other lipids and in insulin sensitivity." |

"No switching is required with the 2PD approach which can be dovetailed
with reduced carbs if you choose. " Even more effective is the 2 minute diet, eat anything within the time period from any diet, even using a different diet each meal, switching is encouraged. |

Diarmid, cross posting request, was longest scientific etc.
Mr./Ms. Diarmid, may I suggest you not cross post to several newsgroups.
We are plagued buy the troll behavior of an infamous "Dr." who hangs out on one ng mostly but is eagar to do cross posting. Many of us think he or someone who gets a kick out of doing so, cross post on purpose in order to permit him to say he didn't start the cross posting. Leave him in that ng alone and let the rest of us not have to see his self rightious trolling and other self promoting behaviors. |

Origin of the "two pound" diet. [Longest scientific study yet backs Atkins diet]
Dr. Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhD wrote on Tue, 18 May 2004
14:03:32 -0400: Doug Lerner wrote: No switching is required with the 2PD approach which can be dovetailed with reduced carbs if you choose. I've discovered where the two pound diet comes from. The idea was first put forth in chapter 1 of that hilarious classic, "Three Men in a Boat" by Jerome K. Jerome, published in 1889: Another fellow I knew went for a week's voyage round the coast, and, before they started, the steward came to him to ask whether he would pay for each meal as he had it, or arrange beforehand for the whole series. The steward recommended the latter course, as it would come so much cheaper. He said they would do him for the whole week at two-pounds-five. [Note for youngsters and "foreigners": at the time, the British pound was subdivided into twenty shillings, and each shilling was divided into twelve pence.] The poor passenger, due to the vicissitudes of the weather ended up consuming rather less than anticipated. Finally .... 'There she goes,' he said, 'there she goes, with *two* *pounds'* worth of food on board that belongs to me, and that I haven't had.' This, I believe, later served as the inspiration for the "2 pound diet". Andrew -- Alan Mackenzie (Munich, Germany) Email: ; to decode, wherever there is a repeated letter (like "aa"), remove half of them (leaving, say, "a"). |
