low carb lifestyle

[Guest guest]

If the Atkins diet is not done right then, it is not the Atkins diet. People

throw this name around without ever reading the book and never knowing the main

principles behind it.

If one person says " Atkins " , then they just assume it's low carb. If another

says " low carb " , then it's just assumed it's Atkins.

This is very frustrating for those of us who have read everything there is to

know about low carb and get lumped in as " Atkins " . As well as those that follow

Atkins then, it's just assumed that their diet is dangerous, unhealthy and will

kill them in the long run. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Wow I have to agree the atkins diet if not done right can be

dangerouse, and isn't meantt to be followed for life thatw ould really hurt

you., but it is VERY popular and what is bad for 1 may work great for someone

else. that is why there i no cookie cutter way to eat. good thing too, how

borring that would be, although we wouldn't know the differenace I suppose. But

we all have our knowledge and expereiences that makes us different and belive

differentthings. Makes this listw orth reading.

Wow, you have a lot of research to do. You apparently have no clue why or how a

low carb lifestyle works and you seem to have such a closed mind that you never

will.

If you think the Atkins diet is dead, you truly are out of touch.

I don't know what " primitive cultures " you are referring to with superior

health. They usually do not live very long.............same goes for ancient

cultures.......I don't know what height has to do with health. The longest

lived, healthiest people like the Hunzas and Okinawans eat very little in the

way of animal products. Instead they eat an abundance of fruits and

vegetables...........and have a lifestyle that includes a lot exercise. There is

a reason why the Atkins diet died...........it only works temporarily and it's

dangerous. There was a previously healthy high school girl, near where I live,

that died from the Atkins diet when it was popular. In addition, if you eat

lot's of animal products, you have to realize that it is full of chemical toxins

and hormones unless it is organic. The best diet includes mostly vegetables,

some fruit, a few grains, occasional meat/milk (if you must have), and zero

processed food.
