Default Where are all the thin poeple from Atkins first book?

The theory behind the low carb diets keeps changing. The effectiveness of
the diets has not. The big low carb diet 40 years ago by Dr. Taller was a
best selling book at over 1 million copies. Then he was arrested and
convicted of mail fraud for having financial links to supplement sellers.
Low Carb really works; And it is a fad. The fad will die, but some of us
will carry the torch forward. I plan to eat like this for the rest of my
life....

Low carbohydrate diet regimens have been in existence for decades. Dr.
Atkins published his first book back in the 70's based on the same
concepts as his current book. If these plans worked in the long run,
the release of new diet books wouldn't even be necessary. The followers
would have actually been capable of maintaining weight loss by
eliminating high carbohydrate foods for over 25 years. Their long term
weight loss success stories would have spread worldwide as the cure to
obesity. Paradoxically, as more and more diets appear, the weight loss
industry continues to get richer, and America continues to grow fatter.

I'm saying it was a fad diet 30 years ago that didn't work "long term"
and it's still a fad diet 30 years later that won't work "long term".
It's a quick fix with stories all over about people who have lost, then
gained, then lost again, then gained everything back plus more.

Fad diets that require foods or food groups to be cut from the diet are
the most likely to fail. Wouldn't that make them the hardest diets?
Why do people that have failed already think they should try one of the
hardest diets?

Count calories. It's the only way to succeed, that's the bottom line.

We've got people who've been on it for several years.

It's a quick fix with stories all over about people who have lost, then
gained, then lost again, then gained everything back plus more.


Not stories all over. A few stories, but not many. At least 80 percent of all
dieters fail, and most diets these days are low-fat.

Fad diets that require foods or food groups to be cut from the diet are
the most likely to fail. Wouldn't that make them the hardest diets?


No, not if you found that you preferred the new way of eating. I find this
much easier than you could possibly imagine. My appetite has diminished, and
my weight has followed. I feel healthier than ever. I'm not missing the baked
goods and pasta I used to live on, and I prefer the foods I'm eating now.

Why do people that have failed already think they should try one of the
hardest diets?


I haven't failed, and this diet isn't hard.

Count calories. It's the only way to succeed, that's the bottom line.


No, there is no one diet that works for all people. This worked for me,
because I reduced calories by virtue of a reduced appetite. I never counted
calories at all.

You, in the mean time, have become increasingly trollish. You haven't done
your own research, and you haven't paid attention to what people here have told
you. So I think you're going into the killfile. Bye.
