We're talking diets and proof here. And we've already had this conversation in this thread. You're at least the 3rd person to bring up these issues. Which horse you gonna stake your life on, that's what you must answer. Stake my life on? Umm, hello? You're acting as if anyone who does Atkins or is looking into their carb intake is going to try and live on the induction stage for the rest of their life. This diet has made me think more of what I eat in terms of processed sugars, that, as much as portion size, will help in the long term. André
OK, if you must have your way, please provide one study showing heart disease reversal on Atkins diet.
Its so funny you said this because i read his column and he specifically said " the High fat atkins diet"....which is a LIE!! He doesn't know what he is criticizing and he has NO PROOF whatsoever that atkins is un safe....in fact, the proof is in the pudding in that all the new studies are showing LOWFAT HIGH CARB =HEART DISEASE....i did read what he said about the complex carbs....but while it may fill you up so you take in less food...the bottom lin is that its not good NOR IS IT NORMAL to take in that many carbs.....talk to any dentist and they will tell you that we ar carnivores...we have 4 sharp teeth for cutting meat...carbs have been a 20th century poison that is now responsible for a diabetes and obesity epidemic int he county.
You miss the point.. The point IS there is only ONE diet proven(!) to improve and maintain one's health and longevity (heart diease as a proxy).. the diet espoused by Dean Ornish. Anything less than that protocol and heart disease ensues. Now what do you say about this??!!
That is not a study. Show me one study demonstrating a reversal of heart disease on Atkin's protocol.
