Opinions on the REVISED Atkins?

I was watching Judge Judy, I kind of hate that show, but a preview of the
news came on and they said Atkins diet revised, why too much fat may be bad
for you. What is going on? Dr Atkins dies and all hell breaks loose? I
have been reading headlines on other sources of news. Is this whole diet
changing now? I find I lose the most weight when I eat more fat.
Hamburgers is my best meal if I am looking to lose the most.

What do you all think? Is this just marketing to the masses? It seems the
diet has changed quite a bit from the start. I mean all these Atkins
products (I personally wouldn't eat any), and now a different view on fat?

Curt

It doesn't affect me. I didn't eat lots of sat fat anyway....too many
calories in those foods.

I think they lose credibilty to change the diet around AFTER Atking dies.
If you ask me, that sucks.

There is no question that this is done for mass marketing. That's really
all that Atkins is about -- now.

I agree on all counts. I eat the way I eat and decide whether I
want to eat saturated fats or other fats--and whether fats are
just too caloric and a slightly higher-carb option may be better.

More basic agreement, so I won't ramble on.

Yeah. I would NEVER say I'm on the ATKINS diet anymore, just that I'm low
carbing. It's ashmed what they are doing to Atkins' name.
================================================== =========
"Someday I know we'll live those dreams we left so far behind'
You'll never know unless you try, to see what's yours and mine"

here's Atkins Nutritionals, purchased by new majority shareholders, and the
non-profit Atkins Foundation, Dr. Atkins legacy, which will continue to fund
research into controlled carbin
That is questionable. Since Atkins died , his medical practice closed. All
energy is being poured now into marketing control carbed frankenfoods.

No more is anyone at Atkins helping sick people like the doctor did through
his belief of a low carb lifestyle.
Stooped at a 7-11 and saw a pamphlet put out by Atkins recently that gave a
sample menu of induction. In the sample menu, they listed some Atkins control
carbed products to eat for induction.

HOWEVER
There is NO mention is any Atkins book where you are permitted to eat
controlled carb foods during induction.

See, marketing by the current people at Atkins are ****ting all over the good
doctor for the sake of money, a damn shame.

================================================== =========
"Someday I know we'll live those dreams we left so far behind'

Guys, how much of this "new revelation" isn't just common sense??

Seriously, when you hear about something eating bacon and steak for
breakfast, lunch and dinner, every day...(which is how alot of people think
of Adkins), does it not ring a bell that "Hello! Thats not healthy??".

Eating less carbs is one thing, a smart move..taking refined sugar products
out, or severely limiting them, another good idea..balancing out your
bloodsugar, all good ideas. Replacing those carbs with lean meats? Seems to
make sense to me.

But scarfing "All the high fat foods you can eat, all the time"?? That
sounds like more wishful thinking than smartness.

I seriously think that there are alot of really, really, really desperate
people out there who have stopped THINKING, and just thrown themselves into
whatever miracle-cure they can find. "Atkins says I can eat bacon and
sausage, SO I EAT THEM EVERY DAY!"..then they get all sick and miserable and
wallow around untilt he next miracle-cure comes along.......when I think the
real message of Low Carbing, Atkins or Not, seems to be one of moderated
process....take out the carbs from your diet for a short while, then
re-introduce them. While you are taking them out, replace them with
satisfying smaller portions of lean meats (as fats in smaller portions make
you feel as full as carbs in larger portions)...and occasionally splurge on
the fats, because your body chemestry can deal with them better......but all
the time? Doesn't seem like a smart idea to me.

Any more than "Eat 12 grapefruts a day" or "Cabbage Soup will let you lose
30 lbs in a month!"

The subway deal is going gang busters. I wonder if that is one of the
reasons for the changes. I mean Subway and Atkins are going to make a ton
of money on those wraps. They are getting rave reviews.

I wouldn't say I am on Atkins anymore myself. I really just eat natural
foods. Steak, chicken, pork and so on and good green veggies. I am not
into all the prepackaged garbage.

Oh well, I think Dr. Atkins book, the one I have is the real diet. That was
before Atkins foods and such.

Well, I am lost. The media is way off I guess. I am so disgusted with the
media, it isn't funny. I don't know what the heck is going on with all
this. First Jeb Bush pulls strings to get his brother in as President and
the media just lies about whatever they want to. I just feel I can't trust
anything at all. I feel as if I am just living in a sea of lies. I guess
this is an accumulation of crap, and I am so tired of it. What a world.
No, I don't want to get into a political discussion. No one will change my
mind about that Florida voting situation, so don't bother. We live in a
very corrupt country with many corrupt people IMHO.

Sorry about my rant, but I am just tired of this ****.
Curt

Curt,

I'm sorry about your rant, too. But this just got me more
than a little miffed. Whatever perceived notions there were
about how GWB got elected, it's water under the bridge.
Almost four years later and people still can't seem to let
go. Move on, man!
