[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't Atkins low carb? [/quote]

Yup.

Only Americans are obsessed with "low carb." Yet American are among the world's fattest people. We are so warped, screwed up, and disordered when it comes to food, diet, and nutrition. [/quote]

Yeah, but it's not the low carbers who are fat...it's the people who follow the USDA recommendations for 11 servings of grain.[/quote] Grain doesn't make you fat.  Processed carbs make you fat. [/quote]

An excess of carbohydrate intake makes you fat, whether that's from whole grains, white flour, or sugar. Processed carbs just do it faster.[/quote]

AN excess of anything, including protein, makes you fat. Most Americans get WAY nore protein than they need, and those people are just as fat as the people who exceed the grains recommendations.

I swear to god, the people who know so little about nutrition and spout their pseudo science as fact make me ill.[/quote]  +1[/quote]

You clearly don't understand the Atkins diet.

3 meals a daay, 2 snacks, lots of water, 4-6 oz of meat per meal, 3 T of fat, lots of veggies. Wow! Sounds very unhealthy.  :roll: [/quote]Actually, it does.  The veggies don't negate the damage caused by an imbalanced diet.[/quote]

Actually, it's very effective for weight loss and it's easy calorie reduction without a lot of thought.  You basically eat your meat and veggie while foregoing the starchy side.  Once you've lost weight you can add back in some whole grains, fruits.  You just have to THINK about calories again and that trips people up.  But if you can learn to systematically add in your whole grains/fruits as opposed to "Yay! I get to have pasta and pizza again.  Woohoo!"  You will have greater chances for long term success.[/quote]
