I agree with you, Ben - eat healthy and exercise. I have seen lots of people go on this diet and when all of them have gone off it they've put all of their weight back on. My Aunt recently decided to go on this diet. My Uncle is a Doctor and works nights so he does all of their grocery shopping while she's working during the day. When she told him she wanted to go on this he explained all of the possible long term health risks and then said he refuses to buy her any food associated with the diet and that she will have to make her own separate trips to the grocery store. So, there seems to still be a lot of people in the medical profession who just don't buy that it's healthy for you...
Atkins also backed the latest study that has people saying it's ok so I think it's going to take another study, with no financial backing by Atkins, to really make people feel comfortable with it.

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.
