There is an outstaing article in the new Scientific American on diets. It is probably the most extensive research ever done on the subject. I highly recommend it. nitro
This is amazing. I haven't been back here in three months and LS is still talking smack about Atkins just to gain attention. Pretty sad if you ask me.
no wonder i couldn't find it have you read it? what does it say? what is the "Willett diet" they mention??
"However, there are some types of fat, particularly fats from red meat and dairy fat and trans fat from hydrogenated vegetable oils, that we do want to avoid." He goes on to say: "However, I think there is also strong evidence that high intakes of animal fat can be harmful and that replacing these with unsaturated fats would surely be beneficial." Do *I* have to say more?
yes you do, although 90% of what you say is crap anyway.....BTW....its always been the press and these anti-atkins doctors who have labeled his diet as "the high fat" diet....Atkins himself always referred to it as Low carb high protein.....for the last time ,...You CAN have a low carb, high protein diet that is LOW fat.....ie, chicken and fish ....but for some reason you are obsessed with fat.
Well, it seems as though *I* WASN'T full of crap on this issue now doesn't it?? As our views here are anithetical, that makes YOU wrong by definition heh. First of all there is no conspiracy against Atkins from the scientific community or press. Maybe you should get together with harry No, you can't have a high protein/very low fat diet.. no way no how. Isn't possible ..defies fact. Furthermore, are you aware of the physiological consequences of a high protein diet. No, I doubt you know a thing about it. Lastly, a low carb diet restricts complex carbs ie. fruits/veggies in their natural form. Why would you want to replace these with high protein/high fat products? Doesn't make good physiological sense. :-/
we've been this route before....if a person ate a high protein diet composed of say tuna, shrimp, flounder ect......please tell me where the fat is coming from? you just don't get it..
