Atkins Book...

[Red]

So, my fiancee's family has the Artins book at their house and I picked it up and read a bit of it. I use to do a lot of Atkins bashing because in my nutrition studies classes last semester my professor kept saying Atkins is horrible, the only good way to lose weight is to reduce caloric intake and lose about 1 lb. per week. So I thought exercise and reducing caloric intake was the only way to go....

Well, either Atkins is a really good BS'er or knows what he is talking about; either way he is very persuassive. He disspells diets that are based on calories and disspells diets based on cut-out-the-fat. It was interestered to find out what a calorie really is, because I never knew what it was (unit of heat required to move 1 gram of water 1 millimeter @ 1 atmospheric pressure or something like that). His philosophy is that people gaining/losing weight is based on metabolic rates and tendencies.

Good read!

You couldn't be more correct, Redhotjrm... The only people that really bash this plan, are those who have never done it, or never done any research on it. They don't understand how or why it works. And then they post stupid things like LordJezo and FFactory0x did.

So... What you are saying is that if I am overweight because I overeat and am not active enough, then I change my lifestyle and lose the weight... Then I go back to my old ways, I will gain the weight back. No sh*t, Sherlock. Btw, what nutritional plan can you use where you can go back to eating crappy and NOT gain the weight back?

Btw, happen to have any proof about your statement that the Atkins plan causes kidney damage? I have done A LOT of research on the subject, and have yet to find any facts on that.

SO MR. I think I know it all, have you had kidney damage yet?

I am not sure it is the Protein intake as much as it is the lack of enough water intake that has caused kidney problems.
