What side benefits have you seen from Atkins?

[BD231]

God forbid moderation, lets all eat meat for the rest of our lives

.

Anyone on the atkins diet will eventually go back to eating sh*tty foods. Practice good health insted of starving yourself, if your a true fat ass then loose the weight till it's gone and develop self control.

The longer you stay away from complex carbs the greater your carbohydrate sensitivity will be once you eat anything. This is coming from a guy whos lost 150 pounds on that crap ass atkins diet.

The plain and simple is eat your meat and vegies peeps :|.

Then again, it might not.

That argument is a tool of vegans used to misrepresent red meat.

If God didnt want us to eat meat, he wouldnt have made it so tasty.

If God didn't want us to eat animals, why'd he make them out of meat?

Hey..here is an idea. How about stop following fad diets, and doing what you know is right? I do the things the south diet beach says (sort of) without "following" a diet. This sh!t pisses me off. You don't need to follow a "diet" that some person made to get rich.

I've lost ~40lbs and I feel great, by "following" this plan...

Please explain to me (in rational terms) why my eating/exercise habits makes you so angry. I started a thread asking pretty much just that, but I cannot seem to get a decent answer.

Goddamn!t wingznut - I wasn't talking to you! If you noticed, I was quoting amnesiac. This isn't about "how much weight you have lost on Atkins" or why "atkins is bad". Hooray for you. This is about all the other diets coming out, such as south beach, etc...commercialization of diets, when all people need to do (besides Atkins) is eat good food. Food good for you in moderation. Simple as that.

Fair enough... But that still doesn't answer my question. Why would you get so upset at someone who is trying to improve their life? Why is the fact that they choose a different path than you making you "pissed off"? Does it really matter to you (or anyone else)?

That's a good question, which I do not have the answer to. Maybe it has to do with our country getting increasingly fatter after 25+ years of fad diets. Not that they would be healthier without them, but maybe people have just given up on them. I don't follow a diet of any specific kind. I just hit the wieghts, play sports with my friends, and eat pretty well (despite drinking and smoking weed which makes me wanna eat my own couch )

In the end, whatever works, works!

My brain doesn't work as well because it has no carbohydrates .

Well..you are still missing my point. I am NOT upset about someone trying to improve their life. Please understand that. Its not about them trying to lose weight, but labeling how they do it. For instance, "I am on the South Beach diet, it rocks" as opposed to "I eat whole wheat breads/pasta and cut down on my sweets drastically". The label is what pisses me off. Now when it comes to Atkins, the label is a bit more necessary IMO seeing as he is the person who pioneered the diet, IIRC.

I'm on Atkins and the first few weeks were great. I had tons of energy and the daily brain fog that I get was gone. The only thing is that I have no motivation to excercise. My sleep pattern is very abnormal, and I had some serious chest pain for a while.

Ok, I now understand. But still... WHY???

I think this is why people here (not you, per se) are so quick to put down those of us who are on Atkins. Somehow, the label of the "diet" really irritates them. And I honestly don't understand it, yet am incredibly curious TO understand it.

 

[Stark]

Man, I blew it tonight. I had half an eggplant sandwich on nice white italian bread and a big scoop of coffee gelato for dessert. Only time I cheated this week. It was worth it.

 

[Squisher]

Why is it I have some sort of mental issues with the thought of anything atkins like?

I still eat a ton of veggies and three fruits a day, but I try to stay away from grains.



95 lbs. and counting.

 

[Farmall]

side benefits? Less on the sides is good.

 

[Ketteringo]

Anyone ever notice that Atkins spelled backwars is Snikat?

And if you shift the letters down one, it becomes.....
Toil bs

Coincidence.... or on purpose???
