bullshit

from reading the little bits they threw out there they did not properly follow the diet. also, the atkins diet isn't a meat diet or fat diet, it's a diet in the broader scope of lifestyle change. you don't eliminate carbs just reduce them. he recommends you get carbs from healthy sources ie. vegetables. i'm sick of this ****, people need to pick up a **** book and read for them selves. oh wait this is america, we have to get our info in 4 second blasts from katie couric cause we can't pay attention long enough to read a book or even be bothered to research for ourselves. the guy has 30 years of studies and results backing up his diet. they put cancer patients on zero carb diets because of atkins and his proving cancer cells thrive on carb intake. the food industry can't turn a huge profit without keeping people addicted to sugar so they'll try anything to discredit him.

Re: bullshit

It's not the diet, It's the people on it that think that if they give up their toast for breakfast, they can have 10 pounds of bacon in it's place. I know a few people that have done it and it works great, but the key is, just like buzzsaw said, it's not meant to eliminate carbs, just reduce them. It really is a lifstyle change.

Re: bullshit

Atkins is a much stricter carb diet than the South Beach approach, which, also emphasizes good nutrition and elimination of certain processed foods, like white bleached flour, processed white sugar..from your diet. Mind you, you can have carbs, as long as you cleanse your body, you can make your body more efficient to processing the carbs of non processed food. Believe me, if you try this diet and stick to its guidelines.. you can lose weight and have a great deal more energy. It just is sometimes difficult because we live in a vending machine, fast food type of social scructure.
Buzz is right, cancer is fed by carbs and sugar and they are what feeds cancer cells.

So, if you are on Atkins, be sure to take your Flintstones chewables! [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Re: bullshit

As long as you drink a bajillion gallons of water a day you can eat whatever the hell you want.. haha

no really though.. water is probably the most efficent way to keep your body metabolising properly and keep food in your digestive tract for the least amount of time, therefore absorbing less crappy stuff... and of course you need excersize (in conjunction with more water) to eliminate the toxins from your body... therefore...

people won't be fat.

This is pretty true. Water does a hell of a lot more good for the body than Pepsi or Coke.

A manager of mine has been on something of a "water diet" for a while now. Basically, he just drinks a lot of water. He's lost a lot of fat and is in pretty good shape now.

Re: bullshit

The thing about the Atkins diet is most people read the first few chapters of his book where he talks about elminiating all carbs. They don't read the end of the book where he talks about slowly reintroducing carbs back into the body until you find a maintenance level. This maintenance level is the number of carbs your body can process without gaining unwanted fat. But as it was stated before, people are too lazy to read for themselves.

By the way, the Atkins diet was originally designed for those who are morbidly obese, not the average Joe/Jane who wants to lose 10-15 pounds.

[/ QUOTE ]ONLY 30 lbs.? HAHAHA I gotta have at least 40 lbs. of red meat stuffing up my digestive track. It feels like heaven. I'd like to drink some of that stuff that cleans you out and make a 4 foot turd. Now that would be awesome.

Also, try an Em-nema. Like a enema but you use lot’s of Lube instead of water.
