Does food preference affect dietary beliefs?

  1. Actually people who crave sweets would probably benefit the most from a low carb diet. Sweet cravings are generally caused by insulin imbalance and diets like Atkins can correct that. I have a sweet tooth and the times I've been on Atkins it goes away almost completely.

  3. The processes of deamination, and the production of ketone bodies in the absence of glucose are not "vague, unsupported opinions" of any sort.
    They are called (ready?):
    Aspects of...Biochemistry.

    You nipped nothing in the bud, you simply answered as you always do - with flip, off-handed remarks, having no factual base or substance.

    Oh, and you didn't answer my question, "axe," but then that's typical of your responses.

    So come on, "axe," what qualifications do you posses for giving your views on this subject?

    "what qualifications do you possess for giving your views on this subject?" seems pretty clear to me . . . :(

  6. i mean this little tidbit:

    "The processes of deamination, and the production of ketone bodies in the absence of glucose are not "vague, unsupported opinions" of any sort.
    They are called (ready?):
    Aspects of...Biochemistry."

    What's the point??

  7. Ummm trader56.... not sure why longshot is referring to you
    as "axe". Must be the lack of protein rotting his brain :D

    Let me just point out that there is no point in arguing with
    someone as closeminded as him. I have had him on ignore
    for MONTHS. I hate it when people quote him because then
    I end up reading his drivel again.

    In any case.... Longshot is convinced he knows EVERYTHING
    about diet and everyone else in the world is a complete idiot
    no matter what the studies say.

    He was even stupid enough to attempt to compare the
    Ornish plan head to head with other DIETS, even though
    the Ornish plan was not only a diet, but a complete lifestyle
    change plan. This included quitting smoking, counseling to reduce
    stress and excercise.

    He clearly lacks the most BASIC of statistical capability since
    he would NOT admit this was not a fair comparison.

    He also likes to run around with his strawman fallacies and pretend
    that I and others fully supported the Atkins diet when this was
    actually not the case at all, and then claim we were wrong.
    Its quite funny how completely delusional he is, but we really
    got sick of it. You know longshot is wrong when he starts
    attacking you constantly and stalking you on ET like he does me :D

    In any case.... im staying out of this, because arguing with
    Longshot is like arguing with a brick wall. No matter how many
    times he is proven wrong, he will simply just openly attack you
    over and over again. Its pointless.

    Check my tagline for an explaination why longshot is like this.
    His....ahem... other smaller half let us in on his little secret :D

    He is just insecure and threatened by you. So watch out.
    He will emotionally lose it and go on the rampage attacking
    everything you have to say if it doesnt agree with this
    rabbit food diet. :D


    peace

    And those claims are Outstanding!
