What experts? There have been numerous studies that have shown the health benefits of Atkins.
You really need to do your research. Dr. Atkins was in top physical health when he fell and hit his head, and weighted 195 pounds. It was the carbs pumped into him through his IV that made him bloated and killed him.
If you post urban legends without doing your research, how can anyone take you seriously? |

Your Mr Gorren is an idiot!!!
He obviously never read the book. It says to ALWAYS monitor your cholesterol! I have been on the diet since 1996. I lost 32lbs in 2 months and have put NONE back on. The danger here are those whos freinds tell them about the diet and they go ahead with it having no understanding of how it works. Did Mr Gorren ever hear of Chicken, Fish or Turkey??? All perfectly acceptable on this diet. Hummmmmmm?
It doesn't have to be all bacon and hamburger!
You are also allowed salads. My count went from 208 to 142 on this diet. The way it works is without the third ingredient in fat cells "Carbohydrates" your body CAN NOT MAKE NEW FAT CELLS Period. This is not in question. What many more find however is they stop giving cohesian to the cholesterol as well. I am sorry that I can omly give you limited info and not statistics on this portion but feel free to call the mayor of Delta, Ohio. I got him on the diet and he was a injection diabetic. Without ALL of the sugar seen as the bi-product of breaking down carbs he has lost 60 lbs and is OFF insulin. My mother in law has cut back to pills from injections. The solution here is would I have been better off at 240lbs or 197 with rock hard abs and lower cholesterol? This has been my experience. 10 years into it I still weigh the same last check my count was 142 and I look better and younger than any 40 year old you know! Dr Atkins died of injuries sustained in a fall. There were pictures taken of him 2 weeks before he died, look them up! He was in his seventies and if he was obese I'll kiss your ass in public!
The "Cut out the fat or Just eat twiggs and berries people" would love you to belive that BS story!It simply isn't true. But as I always end a rant. Don't take my word for it look it up or shut-up! |
