If the moderator would only review FPC posts and identify the problem.....the Elite traders Site would be greatly improved by the simple banning of FPC from elite trader. He only replies, baits, personally attacks, and badgers others posting here. If you do not believe just do a search of his or hers name and find one post that has meaningful, well meaning or helpful information as it pertains to trading or ANYTHING posted here at Elite. We would all be better off without the likes of FPC. Michael B.
Oh well....If anyone has any questions or would like to share some info regarding health, working out ect...just PM me...as i said before, i don't use a religious form of the atkins because I dont need to but I do believe that bread and sugar are causing great harm to this society...i just can't argue about this anymore so please feel free to PM me if you have any special dishes, exercises ect.. also, if you seriously want to talk about workign out and the benefits of basketball and lifting ect...give me a PM.. chow !
bread (white) and sugar are causing great harm... but you don't replace those with MORE FAT. you replace those with COMPLEX CARBS from WHOLE FRUITS & VEGGIES. It makes perfect sense. It is consistent with literature and current established scientific opinion. you dont chuck all this out window because someone lost 5 more pounds in three months on some atkin's-like diet in some ill-designed "study". this would not be reasonable.
EliteThink:"If Americans would just stop consuming fat with their carbs they would make progress, but carbs are still the challenge. " Maybe not. In the ZONE, the doc claimed that eating fats with your carbs was a good idea, because it slowed the rate at which you digested the carbs. This helped prevent insulin spikes during meals. I can't remember if this claim was backed by research or not. In any case.... FPC is right in one sense. Its the CALORIES stupid. But what I think he is missing, and is the underlying key to these low carbs diets is this: 1) Low carb diets take much longer to digest, thereby keeping you feeling "full" longer. 2) Low carb diets tend to keep your insulin levels lower, and from spiking. Low insulin levels is what triggers hunger in your brain. The "effect" of these two points is that you end up eating less calories, and therefore lose weight, without constantly feeling like your starving. This is my hypothesis. That's why people on the Atkins are told to eat as much meat, eggs, cheese, etc, as they want, and they STILL manage to lose weight. Because overall, they end up eating less calories, and don't even realize it. My general impression from all this research is, that americans do in fact eat WAY more carbs than they should be. I myself cut back on my carbs a bit and got a lot leaner within a month, and I did NOT do anything extreme like the atkins diet. I just stopped drinking sodas all the time and eating tons of candy and pasta based stuff. I increased my protein some and lowered my carbs quite a bit. But i'm not eating what any of these diets would consider LOW carbs. I'm simly no longer on a mega high carb american style diet, and i'm getting ripped peace axeman
Once ingested....please explain to me the difference between sugar from cane , sugar from corn, sugar from apples, sugar from wheat???? ...it all gets broken down into the same thing...in fact, this si why you can make alcohol from each of the above...but you disagree, which is fine but WHY ARE YOU STAYING ON THIS THREAD THEN??????? Go start a fruits an vegetable thread and preach that ok???
TM, because what I have to say directly impacts THIS topic. that's why. we're talking theory here, the science or lack thereof behind atkins. what do you want to do,, share recipes? go right ahead. i wont stop you.
FPC, I can tell you are fat from your posts. I know for a fact your head won't fit though the door already because it is so swelled up with your ego....... You just can't leave well enough alone and agree to disagree can you kid?
