Atkins/Warrior Diets and Carbs

[Guest guest]

Betsy,

>Here's an article about carbs that Ori wrote in his Warrior Diet

weekly newsletter...

Thanks for sending this article. And at the risk of sounding ridiculous,

can you or someone tell me who Ori is? I have been attempting to follow

(most recently) the different postings on one's experience with the

warrior diet. I have even myself been modifying my diet to try it,

although I'm sure I'm not doing it exactly as it is suggested.

What I'm finding is that my appetite is not as intense, I can go for

longer periods of time without eating and my energy seems to be stable.

I would like to have more lean muscle, perhaps lose a few pounds and

simplify my life. I saw that Heidi had said it's giving her an extra 2

hours a day (without all the food prep, etc) and that also a good thing

for me.

You mention the newsletter. Is there a web site to find out more about

the warrior diet and/or Ori?

>> I really think it depends on the person. The only truly low-carb diet I've

done is the anti-candida diet. The opposite happened to me-- I lost my

appetite, and my energy with as well, and about 5 pounds. But that really

supports

what Ori's saying-- with the caveat that everyone's different. <<

I think you'd need to differentiate the impact of the diet from the impact of

candida-die off, which can have horrible symptoms.

I agree everyone is different, though. But I'm on a few Atkins lists, some of

which have thousands of members, and again and again people say " I can't believe

I'm not hungry and how much energy I have! " Obviously for some it's not right,

but I'd say less hunger, less cravings, and more energy is the rule more than

the exception.
