Quoted message said:GQ said:Is there anyone here doing Atkin's Diet? If so, how do you like it and
has it worked for you?Been on it almost a year. Lost 80-85 lbs. Still more to go, but I
don't expect to make any more progress during the holiday season.I did not shy away from fats (eggs, cheese, bacon, etc) and my
cholesterol improved significantly. My HDL (good cholesterol) doubled
(95% increase). LDL maintained, and triglycerides/VLDL reduced by 65%.
My triglycerides are only 55 now(excellent). Total cholesterol under
180.I'm finding maintenance is easy, even when I overdo.
You'll find plenty of uninformed negative opinions about it. Including
those with Ph.D. at the end of their name. A clinical year long
study(one of the longest studies ever) of low fat vs low-carb found
that they lost similar amounts of weight (low carb insignificantly
higher), with low-carb having a lead at the 6 month point. Most
importantly, the low-fat group didn't improve their blood lipids
(cholestrol/fats). The low carb DID improve. That is a huge piece of
informtaion since it counters what ever doctor believed for the last
30 years. NO wonder so many people do low-fat to lose weight and
reduce cholesterol and when they lose the weight the doctor turns
around and says "your choleterol is still high, you need to take this
expensive medication from now on."DiGiTAL_ViNYL (no email)
I hate to tell you this, but the Atkins / low carb fad is over. It
reached it's peak in early 2004 and began dying shortly after.
IT'S NOW OVER......Let me repeat, so this is very clear.
THE ATKINS / LOW CARB DIET FAD IS OVER
You can go back to eating normal food again.
Please dispose of you Atkins books. They are no longer useful.Anyone who continues to do any form of Atkins and/or Low Carb diet
after the end of 2004 is outdated, obsolete, and will be looked upon
as a relic, a has-been, and/or a fool.Please be aware, a new diet plan will be available shortly after the
start of the new year. This will require you to purchase new books
and will eliminate an entirely different food group giving you another
challenge, and another health risk to encounter. Start saving your
money now, so you are prepared to purchase all the necessary items for
this new diet plan,while the excitement grows. In the meantime, enjoy
the break between diet plans during which time you are encouraged to
eat anything and everything you want, and put on huge amounts of
weight in order to regain your strength before you are once again
stress your metabolism into another shock method to test your
willpower and challenge your body to see if it survives.
