I am glad the Atkins Diet faded out

It is so annoying how every fad diet comes out and then the media jumps on it and everyone starts claiming it isn't a fad.

Fad diets are never good. I lost 75 pounds between August and now, but I did it the old fasioned way. Eating right and excercise. What I observed during the whole process was that people know what they should and shouldnt eat, they just cant give up the crap they want to eat. I think that eating healthy and excercise has to be a lifestyle change not something you do to lose 10lbs and then put it back on when you stop.

Fad diets just end up making people fatter in the long run.

Extreme calorie deprivation does one thing long term: It teaches the body to pack on more fat for the next starvation cycle.

In fact, the fad dieting craze that started in the late 70s with the low fat diet is, IMO, one of the causes of the obesity epidemic today. People who would be naturally pudgy end up obese after starving themselves over and over again.

The main cause is, of course, a near total lack of activity. The explosion in obesity rates coincide with the rise in popularity of cable/sat TV, the internet, and home video games.

The only reason it failed is because retards thought they could:

-eat unlimited amounts of food as long as it was free of carbs
-lose weight and be healthy without exercise
-forget about vitamins and supplements

I've yet to find one person (IRL) that's followed it properly.

Call me a defender of the 34 year old "fad" diet if you want. It's worked for me. I've studied the book and followed all the directions. As far as my doctor can tell, I'm more healthy now than I've been in the past 10 years.

Atkins wasn't a neurologist.......the protein that people flood their bodies with on it ends up interfering with the active transport of seratonin in the brain....no mood regulation..FTW!
