Guest guest Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Good for you! I agree wholeheartedly and as a matter of fact I belong to several lists/forums with thousands of low carb followers, all of us healthier than we ever were eating tons of carbs including the so-called healthy high sugar fruits and starchy vegetables. There is no way you could convince me now that the " whites " are necessary to anyone, no matter your blood type, where you live, or what you're ancestry is. These are processed crap foods that must be defended by the low carb bashers to justify eating the garbage that they are just not willing to give up due to taste/sugar addiction and blind ignorance.

If low carb is dangerous, let me show you how it is killing me.I have been on Atkins for 4 years with no let up. I will be on it for the next 4 years and the next 4 years beyond that. My cholesterol is stable and healthy. Glucose is stable which means I have not had to sustain those nasty insulin spikes. Diabetes runs high in my family and by keeping my blood glucose under control, I probably will avoid diabetes, or atleast prolong its onset. My itchy skin has vanished along with my migraines. I just ran in a 5K run back in November to wave good bye to my 49th birthday. I will run it again in November 2007 to welcome my fifties. Thanks to low carb I learned about the health benefits of coconut oil. I wonder when the other " more healthy " diets will catch on. Women at my age generally expect to get osteoporosis. I had to have a bone x-ray a couple of years ago which revealed healthy bone mass. This struck the doc by surprise. I wasn't surprised because I practice a healthy low carb diet. I have never been so unworried about my health. Bsavers, here is something to read that will be more helpful with your research:http://www.westonaprice.org/traditional_diets/native_americans.\ html <http://www.westonaprice.org/traditional_diets/native_americans.html> BTW, Atkins is not a meat and cheese diet. Some people just start eating meat and cheese and call it Atkins. If you knew what Atkins is all about you would realize that most vegetables of the planet earth are low carb and many fruits are low carb. Live Long and Prosper, > > 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. > > > > > > > > __________________________________________________ > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
