Default 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.

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?)

Same for me. 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

Wasting your time Bob they seem intent on proving that our kidneys are going
to blow up and our livers will just drop out of our asses.

How much would a liver and 2 kidneys weigh? Maybe that's the reason
I've lost 38 lbs on Atkins this year! P

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.

My big question is not whether Atkins was right or not in general - I
believe he was, about the benefits of low-carbing. My question is whether he
was right about there being a "metabolic advantage".

In about another week I'll have good comparitive low-cal vs low-carb data
(from myself) and will be able to report more on this.

Not to mention we'll all die of clogged arteries and what's worse is
we'll stink up the place even before we die. As if.

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.
