Actually it's not really good to say that one diet is good for all people. A diet is only as good as the person doing it. So if you can stay on the atkins and lose the weight, then that's better than trying to do it the recommended way. There has also been a study recently that has shown that the Atkins diet isn't as bad as you may have thought http://www.cnn.com/2002/HEALTH/diet.fitness/11/19/otsc.atkins.diet/index.htm l . Again, not every diet is for everyone. I tried the Atkins and couldn't do it, others have lost a ton of weight, some people just can't process carbs like other people, which is where this diet helps people out. If you're on the Atkins diet you just have to be aware of some of the issues Ben has to say and make sure you monitor these things, but from the article it is saying that the obvious thins like high cholestrol may not actually happen. Oh well, dieting is not an exact sience. I am trying weight watchers right now, we'll see how that one goes.

Your body goes into ketosis, and the smell is blowing off acetone. Atkins screws up your whole metabolic balance in much the same way as acute starvation or severe diabetes. see WebMD article: http://my.webmd.com/content/asset/miller_keane_18249 IMHO, the only diet that really works without messing up your health is to decrease total calories as part of a nutritionally-balanced diet, and increase calorie expenditure through aerobic and other exercise. The basic immutable rule of physiology is 3,500 calories = 1 pound. -Ben >From: "Adam Reynolds" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: CF-Community <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: RE: Adkins >Date: Fri, 22 Nov 2002 09:24:27 -0000 > >Doesn't it make you breath reak? > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Mark Smyth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: 22 November 2002 09:10 > > To: CF-Community > > Subject: Adkins > > > > > > How are you finding the adkins diet? > > > > there was a documentary about it over here basically saying it was > > very bad for you > > > > But the weight loss was preety good, but i'm really not sure about > > the ultrea low carb part > > > > Mark > > > > -----Original Message----- > > > > Oh, and before anybody jumps on me 'cause of the "lazy worthless >fat-ass" > > thing, I used to weigh 320# and stand 6'0" tall.
