Re: atkins obese

[Guest guest]

Well, the article does point out that it is a bit unfair to say

Atkins was obese and not due to diet, but a viral thing causing

bloating the last few years of his life.

And he did live to 72 years.

Diets can be amazing and there have always been 'fad' diets. Diets

can make mountains of money...doesn't matter if they work or not for

many people.

I think the objective of pecanbread is just trying to stick to

something that has been set out. It isn't a spot for theorizing or

changing that which has been set out. Other spots would be for that.

Just as several of the GFCF, blood-type diet, vegetarian diets, low-

carb/atkins groups, etc simply want a place to implement a particular

diet as it is....not for discussing whether the diet should be or not

be, or whether such-n-such is really the best way. Many times science

is left completely out of it.

As for the leaky gut, that can be a basis for some of the problems

with digestion. But the 'fix' isn't to run around taking out this

food and that until you are food-free and living off handfuls of

synthetic pills and vitamins. If food eliminations are helpful, by

all means, do whatever helps...but what is needed is something pro-

active to fix the leaky gut as much as possible, which food

eliminations don't appear to do.

>>>>> actually food is a lot of work and its just as much in the

freshness and quality of soil as anything else.

Well, as an agriculture person, a lot is derived from the soil. And I

wouldn't be a bit surprised if the study of soils yielded clues to

improved gut health.

its like mining for diamonds and the seams are on the boundary of

the mine and the workers are scraping thin pickings within the mine

it all looks very sane until you walk along the boundary.

actually i am learning not to shout 'look here are the diamonds',

mostly they can't see and throw a few stones!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and it suits to have the workers hacking out the center cause that is

what exposes the periphery

For those who suffer from insulin resistance and diabetes the Atkins and

south beach diet types are brilliant and can make the difference between

someone having to be on insulin shots or not.

Insulin resistance runs in my family and my father and sister have both

found that by following these type diets their blood levels have come down

whereas before they were being chased by doctors to go on insulin because

their levels were high.

It is the refined carbs that make the blood sugar shoot up and then the body

produce insulin to bring it level so surely the cutting out of the refined

carbs and only eating unrefined is the key ?

If not, what would you think is the key as these diets are certainly doing

the job for them and refined carbs are not good dietary-wise for anyone

nutritionally so surely cutting them out is good ?
