  1. Hello group,

    I will be doing a presentation on the pros and cons of the Atkins diet this
    coming Monday for a college course I am taking. I ask everyone in this low
    carb diet like the atkins to tell me if you feel that it is a good diet or
    not and provide some reason for you answer. Any feedback will be greatly
    appreciated, Thank-you for your time.

  2. Do your own homework.

    induction will kick your ass.

    all that bacon and those bunless cheese burgers will give you a heart
    attack. I died last year.

    Your kidneys will fall out. I lost mine somewhere.

    Don't forget eggs. Bacon AND eggs. That's about it. Sometimes I wrap my
    eggs in bacon and grill them just for a change.

    Geez, when I was in college I wasn't allowed to cite anonymous third party
    opinions as research sources.

    Good luck anyway, though you're best off reading and quoting low carb books
    and research studies if you want to make the grade. Everyone here will say
    that low carb is great, but then again this is a low-carb support group.
    It's like asking a bunch of monkeys for the pros and cons of bananas.

    The Atkins diet and other low-carb diets are the most vile and wicked
    entities that have descended upon humanity. As my pant-sizes have
    shrunk, they [read low-carb diets] have single-handedly destroyed the
    following productive and vital industries; Textiles (smaller clothes),
    Interstate Bakeries Corp (manufacturer not baker of Twinkies), and
    pasta manufacturers.

    The low-carbs diets are bolstering the fast evil empire of beef
    producers supplying the world with their SCRUMPTUOUS sizzling steaks
    grilled to perfection (especially prepared au Poivre.) The entire
    middle-east is aghast at the prospect of airliners saving on JET-A fuel
    and former fat folk out-of-denial are slimming their way into smaller
    more fuel-efficient vehicles. Even to the horror of the oil industry,
    some are even [gasp], bicycling to work.

    Last but not least is the recently embattled Pharmaceutical industry
    whose cox-2 inhibitor products most recently pulled from the market are
    reeling from the prospect that the low-carbers will no longer be in the
    marketplace for their liver destroying fare like -statins for
    cholesterol. Yes Sonata, low-carb diets are the devil incarnate. Tell
    your class. Tell the world. Tell us your final grade when available.

    Not everyone here does atkins, so some may definitely be able to site some
    cons....like induction kicking your ass and your kidneys falling out. Foul
    breathe is another one, too. I died of a heart attack last year, so I
    definitely consider that a con.

    And don't forget to do what the commercials say! Beef with a side of
    beef! Beef, cheese, and more beef!

    Beef, beef, beef, beef, beef, beef, beef, beef, beef, beef . . .

    And absolutely ZERO CARBS! Woot!

    Sigh. Me, I had a chicken/onion/pepper stir fry for supper last
    night.

    Everyone cried at your funeral. Even JC. Okay, he wasn't really
    crying outwardly. But I have a strong feeling that he was crying on
    the inside, if you know what I mean.

    And I think you do.

    Also, there was much heaving of breastesses. Shocking and kinda
    unseemly really.

    Especially from that rather mysterious and chesty broad in the corner.

    LOL.
    I made up some soy black bean burgers with onions, jalapenos, almond and soy
    flour. Topped with some sour cream and salsa.. they're great. Super high
    in protein, too. I just have to get some more soy black beans now since I
    accidentily purchased regular black beans along with the soy ones. They
    were sitting right next to each other on the shelf and the cans were nearly
    identical. That'll teach me for being in a hurry. 😉

  14. Reminds me of a skit Jay Leno did quite a few years ago... I saw it on Talk
    Soup when John Henson was the host. It was for a turbo burger from Billy's
    Burger Barn I believe. I wonder if I can find a clip of that somewhere on
    the internet.

    Go to www.lowcarbresearch.org for some cites. By the way, anyone know
    when that site is going to be update? It's an invaluable reference source.

    Actually, if you really want to shock your college, read here and report

    It's not his fault. He suffered a horrible bilateral tearduct injury.
    A freak sunglasses accident caused sunlight to sear them shut
    permanently. Somewhat akin to using a magnifying glass to burn holes
    in leaves. Tragic really. Damn bigass 70s sunglasses....

    Take care,

  20. The key is to determine the bias of the instructor that is grading you.
    Then skew your paper to reflect his or her view. You'll get an "A."
