I don't use any sugar per se, and only rarely do I bake anything now but then I use organic evaporated cane juice, but we're talking once every 3 or 4 months. Yes, I eat the granola that I make which has a small amount of honey in it, and I eat it with fresh blueberries and/or other fruit. It is what stabilizes my blood sugar through the day. I never get hungry and I never have that slump. I've read at least a half dozen books on Atkins, and I actually tried following his program a few years ago, but I didn't like how I felt. Some of it I agree with and some of it seems ridiculous to me. I get plenty of protein not only from animal/fish sources, but from vegetable sources as well. Except for the 1/4 cup of oats in the morning, I hadly consume any other carbs, except occasionally. Complex carbs ARE needed to produce glucose which fuels the brain. When I went on the Atkins diet a few years ago, eating all that meat made me feel ghastly, and did nothing for my memory. My husband and I were both chefs in a former life. His family comes from a village in Italy where they did the longevity studies, where there is virtually no heart disease, no stroke, no cancer, no obesity. We pretty much follow that same diet. I've had my blood sugar tested; it's perfectly normal. But more than being worried about my memory, I'm also worried about the longterm effects of eating so much animal protein -- the only people I know who got colon cancer were people who ate large amounts of meat. I ain't going there. I believe you believe that Atkins is the cure-all. I don't. It's a good start for people who have no knowledge of nutrition or how the body functions, and for people who ate garbage their whole lives, but that's not me. And I simply don't believe that eating all the bacon, meat, etc. is all that good for you in other ways. But it's certainly better than the Standard American Diet which is designed to kill you.

I have also tried the atkins and one by my chiropractor that was so strict that you couldnt even have salt because it had too much sugar in it.. ( only sea salt was allowed ) and I didnt feel that good I did these diets religiously for a long period of time.....to try to help my symptoms ( didnt change a thing )..but I decided I have to have some complex carbs.. I love eziekiel bread in the am.. there is no flour in it.. anyhow if you feel like sharing I would appreciate it.. thanks Ro Re: Atkins In a message dated 9/8/04 6:09:55 AM Mountain Daylight Time, SSRI medications writes: > I also recall you talking about using Turbinado sugar > and granola - please correct me if I am wrong.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 The Atkins diet is very unhealthy!!!!! It is very hard on the kidneys. It is also very hard on the arteries. Since when would a person think eating high protein/high fat would be good for your arteries and heart????? I know many people here at work who have lost tons of weight on this diet....however, once they go off and try to maintain their weight loss...they end up gaining all that they lost AND MORE!! A body does not need all the meat it can eat!!!!! Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
