You're such an incredible dumbass....

Look at all the people who never did atkins and had the same thing happen.

That blockage in her artery likely took years to build up. You can't undo
years of bad lifestyle choices overnight.

The reason Atkins is voodoo nutrition to you is because you're stupid.

Sorry to tell you, but ATKINS did not block those arteries in the months
they were on that diet. When carbs are reduced the lipid #'s and
triglycerides if it is followed to the letter. The diet that PRECEDED the
Atkins (read low carb) probably should be examined.

BTW, have your friend visit here and lurk and learn.

If you're going to reply to someone you need to quote at least a little bit
of what and who you are replying to or nobody can figure it out. If this
reply was to me, I don't do Atkins. In fact I don't think (but I could be
wrong) any of the people you replied to are doing Atkins.

The hyperketonemia that arises from low-carbing has been shown to
accelerate the lipid peroxidation that leads to atherosclerosis.

It is written that we should pray to our heavenly Father for daily
bread. This is one reason why.

Hyperketonemia suppresses appetite. There is no magic in this. Simply
spritz what you are eating with acetone (fingernail polish remover) to
add the ketones and replicate their effect.

It is wiser to reduce ones food intake down to the optimal amount (one
omer per day) to become hungrier and lose the visceral adiposity.

There is a major problem with the Atkins diet for those with Diabetes
and that is that it does not take in account all the fat. And that much
oils will slow the pancreas in the production of insulin. and yes the
blood sugar goes up.

So don't use Atkins.

Lower Carb does not have to equal Atkins.

You can lower your carb intake and use heart healthy oils and fats.
Lean cuts of meat, more fish.

Atkins is one of many many lowered carb choices you can make. If you
don't like it... don't follow it.

Have you read the latest book? I am not on Atkins but my husband wanted to
try it so I did read the book. The diet is very specific as to the amount
of calories eaten and the breakdown thereof. The types of protein and fat
allowed are very specific. People seem to think Atkins is an "all you can
eat" meat and fat diet. It is not.

You think the Atkins diet involves eating mostly meat and fat. You
obviously know nothing about the Atkins diet. You also think that
eating fat makes you fat and eating cholesterol is what puts
cholesterol in your arteries. These are common misconceptions among
those who get their nutritional science from women's magazines or the
bloke who serves them beer and who are too stupid to wonder how cows
get fat.

My Grandmother gave me a book that insisted that a protein only diet was the
way to go. I did that diet and lost about 60 pounds in 3 months with my 19
year old metabolism. No one could stay on that type of diet for ever. Every
diabetic knows what those high carb diets do to them.

I have done Atkins and he explained the reasoning for his diet, simply to
prevent excess calories and relieve the bodies constant struggle with
insulin overproduction due to overconsumption of carbs. Plain, simple and
very effective.

Most everyone that ever blamed any diet for any reason had issues well
established prior to engaging said diets.

A "DIET" should be those foods you eat that promote health, vitality, meet
daily energy requirements. What works for one very well, may not be suitable
for another. Patience, persistence and applied knowledge are the best tools
if the person is truly dedicated to resolving the health issues brought
about fast foods, excessive sugars, physically inactivity, and just plain
neglect.


So as Jennifer correctly said "Atkins is one of many lowered carb choices

you can make. If you

don't like it... don't follow it." But do something and get moving.

I do not know of any study which shows that Atkins or
similar is bad. The claims of this in medical journals
is that certain things happen which cannot be good, but
this is also an assumption.

What is known about nutrition, other than that there are
needs for certain nutrients, is unfortunately low. It
is very hard to conduct the long-term controlled
experiments needed, and demographic studies have major
defects. It is consistent with all the present data that
gaining weight might improve human health. The opposite
is also consistent.

Both sides of that controversy:
http://www.snopes.com/medical/doctor/atkins.asp

However, this seems the relevant part:

"Dr. Robert Atkins died on 17 April 2003 at the age of 72
after sustaining head injuries in a fall outside his New
York clinic.
<snip>
Atkins' widow and Dr. Stuart Trager, the spokesperson for
Atkins Physicians Council, both contend Robert Atkins
weighed less than 200 pounds at the time of his accident,
claiming "During his coma, as he deteriorated and his major
organs failed, fluid retention and bloating dramatically
distorted his body and left him at 258 pounds at the time of
his death, a documented weight gain of over 60 pounds."

Thanks to his death certificate (as displayed at The Smoking
Gun), we know Atkins was 258 pounds at the time of his
death. Yet according to a copy of his medical records, as
turned over to USA Today by the diet guru's widow, Atkins
weighed 195 pounds upon admission to the hospital 8 April
2003 following his fall. He died on 17 April 2003 after
having been in a coma for more than a week."

Your research skills are showing, I'm afraid. What you recall is an
urban rumour put about by people who didn't like the Atkins diet and
hoped that it made him fat and gave him a heart attack.
