Body Builders have been using this diet for years before, they knew by personal experience how to get "cuts", just Look at Frank Zane.

Both are right, though a high protein diet is a high calorie diet too but the body burns more calories to digest a high protein diet than it gets through that diet.

To me the most interesting thing about the phenomenol success that Atkins dieters have experienced is this: to this very day, every doctor, nutritionist and dietician STILL say on a daily basis that losing weight is simply a case of calories in versus calories out, though Atkineers disprove this daily!

It may work for some people and for some people, the side effects are just a nightmare for some. I know people who WERE on it and a lot of them had severe halitosis(bad breath). It got to the point that I didn't want to hang around them. The odor was just too repulsive. I immediately stopped it as soon as my girlfriend started complaining about my ketosis breath. I'm not saying NO to Atkins. It's just not for everyone. It's great if it works for you.

I have always been slim and strong. I eat low carb food because I'm hypoglycemic and it's very healthy.Eating low carb isn't just about losing weight. It is what people evolved to eat over at least a hundred thousand years.I think eating fruit is fine. Fruit has fiber that slows down the absorbtion of the fructose in it.

Why did he throw away celery? Atkins has no problem with it.

Thank you Dr. Atkins. I lost 65 pounds on Atkins and learned that my body treats sugar life poison. While I am no longer on Atkins I still watch my carbs and try to stay away from sugar. Atkins saved my life! |
