The Story of the Atkins Diet Part 1

[P3cca4t0]

@MarianoSimon Me too! At first, I doubted it now, Im happy that I found it,.. the effort that ive been performing the last couple of weeks is really worth it.. The site is WeightLossAction.Info by the way..

[jimmytube177]

Atkins is dead

what does that tell you

end of story

[civitasdei]

The Atkins diet doesn't NOT recommend eating large amounts of bacon.

[yami3007]

i lost 55 lbs 3 years ago and i haven't gain the weight back..

[lem60]

So basically, the Atkins diet, in its most basic form, is just don't eat a lot of carbohydrates?

[thickpooxbox360]

the last few clips are incredible! OFCOURSE your going to gain the weight back if you go back to eating like crap again. that didnt disprove the effectivness of the atkins diet it PROVED it even more that its the carbs that make you fat..... a healthy diet should be a life long commitment not just some thing you go on and off of to look good naked. some people in this world are just fucking retarded.....

[gibsoneer321]

The bad press on this diet is from the United Bakers Union. They can't have peoplep not eating white breads, white pasta,sugar. This diet does work and it saved my life.

[MrsSaim12345]

Holla! Have you tried cleverous 402 diet (just google it)? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my mate lost crazy amounts of weight with it.

[MrMaryJanes]

I guess that's why Dr Atkins died of a heart attack, because "it works". Right.. The only people stupid enough to try this all end up crashing because their glycogen levels deplete from lack of carbohydrates. Newsflash: Cells run on Simple sugars and carbs from fruits and veg. This diet is a joke.

[fileboy2002]

@MrMaryJanes Atkins died of head injuries sustained in a fall, not from a heart attack.

[MrMaryJanes]

@fileboy2002 The Medical Examiner's report had a hand-written note that Atkins had a history of myocardial infarction (heart attack), congestive heart failure, and hypertension (written "h/o MI, CHF, HTN")

[civitasdei]

@MrMaryJanes Atkins did not die of a heart attack. He died of a concussion. Learn to google, noob.

[MrMaryJanes]

@civitasdei The autopsy report showed he had a heart attack. He was also about 75 pounds overweight.

[civitasdei]

@MrMaryJanes Actually, if you read the autopsy report it said that he had heart complications caused by an infection... completely different than a "heart attack." Once again, you could have googled that one, too.

[MrMaryJanes]

@civitasdei hahaha right. I know what it said. They probably changed it so that scam diet wouldn't lose its customers.

[civitasdei]

@MrMaryJanes Or, most likely, there is no conspiracy and he really did have an infection. I think you would agree, you cannot accept the facts that support your argument while trying to disregard and change the facts that don't. So, your argument "Somebody must have secretly changed it" is very "tinfoil-hat conspiracy."

[alomgirgroup2012]

wow so nice cooking i like it

[andieemily326]

check out andieemily326 for more info tables have turn

[johnlovesbridge]

It WORKS. Wealthy women and models would go see him in New York City in the 70s to lose weight (at great expense). If you want to lose weight follow the models and rich women!

[madpuss427]

I've lost 50 lbs in the last 5 months eating oatmeal, fruits, veggies, etc. But for the last month I have been at a stand still, losing only 5 lbs. I have started Atkins to jump kick my weight loss. I never go more than one month on Atkins. Add exercise and weight training as well. So far in one week I have lost 6 lbs. Long term Atkins may not be the best idea as far as eating all those eggs, red meat, cheese, & butter. But there is definitely a way to keep your carbs low after

[tagabukastubo]

low fiber and eating mainly proteins could fuck up your colon ...brock lesnar as an example..he developed diverticulitis as a result of mostly eating meat kind of diet without any fiber..

[LuniaVideo]

@tagabukastubo You do realize that to keep things moving "down there" you're better off eating more fat than more fiber, right? :P

Fats lubricate the colon wall and speed up peristalsis and transit time of food and allow it to go through the colon easily. Also diverticulitis can happen from many things including wheat (or rather the gluten/phytic acid in wheat.) Gluten can make small holes in the intestinal tract and fuck shit up. Lo and behold! A google search says Lesnar ate lots of wheat :)

[tagabukastubo]

@LuniaVideo to be honest bro I'm not sure :) ..i just read articles about it on the net and some other sources...but your point regarding fat and fiber? hmmm i've heard that colon cancer is linked to large consumption of fat and low fiber on an individuals diet...heck you could get hemorrhoids from a low fiber diet.. but if it works for you stick with it..i just keep an open mind :)

[LuniaVideo]

@tagabukastubo I'm studying to be a nutritionist and I can guarantee you, fat doesn't increase your chance of colorectal cancers.

Do you know what happens to fiber when it's being fermented in your gut by your intestinal bacteria? It turns into short chain fatty acids (saturated fats.) To say that fats are bad for the colon is the same thing as saying fiber is bad for the colon because that's what it ends up as.

[LuniaVideo]

@tagabukastubo That being said, there are bad fats. Saturated fat is not one of them though.

Vegetable oils are horrid for you and are a GREAT way to screw up your Omega-3 to 6 ratio and raise your risk of just about every type of cancer and inflammatory disease known to man. The only decent vegetable oil is olive oil.

Coconut oil, palm/palm kernel oil, olive oil, macadamia oil and avocado oil are the only extra fats people should be adding to their diet. Besides fat from meat of course.

[tagabukastubo]

@LuniaVideo Ok bro ..whatever works for you..could have easily looked that up from google but thanks anyways...btw are you on the atkins diet?? and hows your physique?? :)

[disastermkd]

Hello! Have you tried cleverous 402 diet (just google it)? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my cooworker lost a ton of weight with it.

[nomisyelsha]

Atkins never looked fit.

[coturnix19]

Atkins diet is simply what hunter-gatherers ate. Human race the way we know it has been around for at least 50000 years (and our ancestors led HG-type life for millions of years before that), of them only last 8000 years humans have been having high-carb diet. While 8000 years is enough to change human metabolism somewhat, but mostly humans are same as before neolithic revolution, and therefore it is no wonder that atkins diet works.

[LuniaVideo]

@coturnix19 Hunter-gatherers did not eat dairy.

The only thing Rob Atkins got wrong is that we should avoid dairy.

[coturnix19]

@LuniaVideo Nope, dairy is animal food, and hg ate it - as all children drink milk. Back in paleolithic children weren't weaned at 5 months, they kept on milk for years. Of course, many people don't tolerate lactose (especially chinese), but europeans mostly do.

[LuniaVideo]

@coturnix19 No. They didn't. Humans aren't meant to drink COW'S milk.

Not only does it raise your risk of cancer and a host of other problems, but can you seriously imagine a caveman sucking off a cow? No.

70% of the world has some degree of lactose intolerance (this includes Europeans.) A food that 70% of the world can't digest is not a food that people should be eating. It goes against evolution and common sense logic.

[Rad1ka1]

Atkin died of heart attack. Look it up.

[LuniaVideo]

@Rad1ka1 That's an urban myth. *Facepalm*

He died after he slid on some ice and cracked his head.

Let me guess, you heard that from a friend? And that friend heard it from a friend whose sister's husband's half-aunt's great-grandmother read it on the internet.

[rafflesman]

Well done Bob. You were right. I have lost 50 lbs TWICE on your great diet. I have studied all your stuff many times, and I'm on your side in all this. Extraordinary that people on this video still criticize it. And thanks for writing about the great T.L.Cleave.

[5tonyvvvv]

Gluten and dairy are the real killers!!

[LuniaVideo]

@5tonyvvvv Amen to that.

[5tonyvvvv]

@LuniaVideo Thanx, its to bad we live in brainwashed society! We wonder why we are all stressed out and miserable and sick! Bullshit jobs!! and Bullshit lifestyle!! Most people today are just in a race to Die!!!

[shalayneG]

i was 13 and a half stone then i got to 12 gave up on atkins diet and maintained 12 stones so i suppose every1 is diffrent im back on it and i lost 2lbs in 24 hours :D

[pnoyguitar]

This what happens to diabetic people.  They suddenly lose weight and gained back later. Insulin was insufficient to transfer the glucose into the body, so the absence of glucose into the muscle forces the body to use ketons products such as fat and protein, and that's how you lose weight.

[moewishaw]

so why is he hating the fruit? Is there such a thing as unhealthy fruit? Like what?

[moewishaw]

actually i heard that the atkins diet has been scientifically proven by atleast 60 studies?

[jtking2504]

Whether or not you would stay on this diet long term, one thing is for sure, this diet will literally force your body into burning up fat, well it does for me anyway. I don't have too much trouble maintaining weight once I reach my goal, but until Atkins it was near impossible to lose it no matter what I did or how I reduced my calories. I am so thankful for this diet, it puts me back in control.

[naty86able]

Tried the Atkins diet, & it was a fail. It's the white carbs that kill! There are carbs that help you loose weight & give u energy. I lost about thirty pounds slowly and naturally and kept it off for about four years with brown and wheat carbs. All that meat could cause high cholesterol levels and heart problems. Just because someone looks ideally thin, it doesn't mean they are necessarily healthy.

[slackware92]

Holla! Have you thought about intellectus diet (search on google for intellectus424dietcom)? Ive heard some great things about it and my work buddy lost a ton of weight with it.

[Eskoed]

Calculating calories is like full time job. It is posible to lose weight like that, but I dont have time for it. I like simple way, you eat food where is no carbs, you do sports when you have time.

In 4 months I lost more then 60pounds, I still have like 20 to go, untill I reach my normal weight. I am happy that I bought this book, its paying me off now.

I love this way of eating, thank you Dr. Robert Atkins hopefully we meet in afterlife.

[Nefus1988]

4:54

omg just shut the fuck up! People who live for years with this diet and have no problems are at risk at suddenly die becuse of the diet? But if you follow these phony fat free diets and feel like crap 24/7 It´s considered normal?

[bertalmighty]

I love the lady who slams Atkins for not being a legitimate scientist. She had the title 'nutritionist' below her name. Lol...

[Phenom7896]

The only way to lose weight is to burn MORE calories then consumed. Having an all you can eat buffet just cause it has no carbs is dumb. Your still gaining weight. Theres an illusion that your losing weight, because your body's stored glycogen is burned, and muscle water is reduced. Theres no longterm advantage.Any fat-loss with this diet is do to your body going into starvation mode due to lack of carbs. It's not only stupid,but in many cases dangerous. Is it that hard to exercise and eat right

[bertalmighty]

@Phenom7896 Atkins does, in no way, promote an "all you can eat buffet" style of eating with fats. You should research the effects of the glycemic index on ketosis.

[TheBlessedbabi]

@Phenom7896 True that. You can eat any diet just burn more then you eat and you'll be fine even if its only by a couple of calories a day. Eat a lot of small meals a day. Diets are good since everyone is different.

[Splendapuff]

yes! that guy is so right. It is like politics. Stupid people don't think for themselves and listen to the majority even if the majority is wrong! Hello, go on the diet and check your cholesterol. I've been doing this for years and haven't gained a pound in years! Fat does NOT make you fat people! Sugar does! Low calorie and high carb is a death wish.

[doddsalfa]

Atkins diet kills hunger,true.But dr.Atkins is wrong when he says you can eat as must as you want and still lose weight.

[l337z0r]

What did humans eat before the agricultural revolution (before wheat, grains, rice, etc.)? Did we hunt animals and eat a lot of meat, including all the fat (and organs!)? Did we gather vegetables, nuts, seeds, and fruit when it was in season? Did we do all this for 3 million years, until we settled down and began to farm?

[tags12345]

They are not going to like this, but, you can eat what you want, how much you want, where you want and still keep a proper weight for life at best diet on earth .net

Keep your money for other things, bye...

[JasonPMartin]

What many of the less intelligent critics fail to remember is that fruit is seasonal and largely unavailable for most of the year. Also, saying that Atkins is no good because when you come off it you put the weight back on is as moronic as saying that you shouldn't quit smoking because if u start again the health risks return.

[neverendingchocolate]

Atkins worked wonders for me. After losing 20 pounds, I didn't put a single pound back on for 2 months after coming off the diet back to eating high-carb foods. Now I'm back on Atkins to lose some more :) And lost another 5 pounds within 5 days.. Yoohoo :) Big FAN

[ApocDevTeam]

i eat no meat/poultry at all. i get almost everything from carbs etc, yet i've never had overweight problems. i guess both ways work, just eat healthy food lol

[thelksis]

I have every reason to feel thankful for Dr Atkins too! If followed correctly, this diet is great and makes you feel special since you are in control of everything, making the right combinations of foods and watching yourself feed on natural products!

[bwnsaj]

Our fruits and veggies have been artificially sellected for millenias. They're not natural.

[dutchiiX]

i dont get diets

just eat healthy foods

[bigbobabc123]

@dutchiiX atkins isn't a fad diet. it's based around ketosis which is using fat and bodyfat for fuel.

[kikicreamify]

People on ATKINS ARE IDIOTS.

I have an 8 PACK, ripped ass body and I eat carbs. Everyone trying to get my body fails on the Atkins diet.

eat good carbs and lean protein and you too can have my body.

Follow atkins and you will never have my body

[juicyfruityapple]

@kikicreamify lol of course the atkins alone won't get you a ribbed body, who said it would? for that you would need to do some serious exercise.

The atkins diet is for those who want to lose weight and its proven to work! Also a misconception is that your not allowed any carbs, which isn't true. Your allowed 20g of carbs per day from salad and other vegetables, and this is only on the induction phase, which lasts two weeks, after which your daily allowance increases.

[sabby123456789]

Despite becoming overweight due to a high carbohydrate diet, I loss ten pounds of body fat over the summer one time even while eating a relatively high carbohydrate diet consisting of fruits and whole-grain bread. Carbohydrates are not the enemy, it's how much of it that really matters. And for me, it was mainly self-control when it came to eating that brought me to a healthy weight.

[ToxicMonkies]

I'm sure you will lose weight, I mean, you're depriving your body of needed nutrition.

[juicyfruityapple]

@ToxicMonkies No your not, carbohydrates are NOT an essential nutrient. Their simply used as another form of energy for your body.

Cut the carbs and it forces your body to use fat as its primary fuel source.

Of course some foods which are high in essential nutrients also contain carbs, but atkins doesn't rule out carbs altogether, your allowed 20g of salad and other vegetables per day on the induction (the most restrictive phase)

[cirosuperiore]

atkins diet can really be boring.

meat eggs cheese and fish all day is very boring.

if you want to lose weight DONT EAT!!!!

[secretk33per]

@cirosuperiore If you do not eat, then your body begins to consume itself to the point of your organs shutting down.

[cirosuperiore]

@secretk33per no shit!. what i meant is dont eat TOO MUCH!.

[dxburner222]

He was overweight when he died because of watergain he was a skinny guy all his life I dropped almost 80 pounds in 90 days with exersize on the atkins diet

[DevilChao5]

@dxburner222 You are risking your life on this diet. Atkins uses faulty, cherry picked science. Message me if you want the facts.

[ripeco]

@ShadowLink108 Actuually I lost 70 pounds with Atkins, it changed my life.

A

[NOMoreBuLLShhh]

Atkins is great for individuals who are sensitive to carbs. Sticking to Egg Whites, Chicken Breasts makes it so you don't consume too much useless fat. I am a very active weight lifter 5~6 days a week. Consuming around 190 grams of protein per day. Only downside to Atkins from what I was told it makes your body acidic and makes it so you are more prone to injuries if you play sports. So on a weekly basis I have 1 cheat day and I just carb load. Seems to work for me, mess around with it.

[ThePaulyMichaelShow]

@NOMoreBuLLShhh what your doing sounds like a cyclical Ketogenic diet.

[supersophio]

i tried Atkins Diet when i were 18.

i lost 26 kg is 6 month, now i am 25 years old.

My problems: hypertension, heavy legs gone.

Now a days i don't eat only bread and skin of chicken.

i am trying to eat hour by hour (10am, 12pm, 3pm,6pm).

I love Atkins Diet, there is all food i love t eat daily!!!

[kvg44gbs]

people look into this so much. Its a diet something you choose to do for yourself. You can also choose to throw a little carbs in there once and a while. It's not like when you do a diet you have to stick with it strictly. I'm doing something like that atkins and feel great lost a few pds already too. Just watch what you eat and work out consistently = good health.

[ripeco]

Thanks Atkins, people just keep in mind this: Galileo was treated as a crazy an heretic at his time, after 400 years we still consider as one of the greatest genius mankind has had. That's what happens to genius.

[beaglestink]

Thank you Dr. Atkins. I so wish you were still alive to promote the low carbohydrate lifestyle. This country needs you more than ever.

[Jameson10314]

if i had not followed the good doctor I would have suffered a massive heart attack. If only i had listened to him before i developed diabetes. Still he should be given a posthumous congressional freedom of medal.

[atlasshrugged2u]

Dr Atkins was Awesome! Iv'e lost weight on his diet, and came to the realization that SUGAR is the culprit like Atkins said

If you read the book, it doesen't keep you from carbs and fruit forever, just at first to put your body in "ketosis" then you can add them in later. Usually when the whole world is telling you to "do it this way" and someone else who "goes against the grain" like Atkins and explains in detail how the body works and how we are addicted to sugar, it makes perfect sense.

[Nefus1988]

3:40 Wonder how controversal his diet would be in the 50s? People back when ate the same as he recommended, high fat and protein. There was no low fat products back when. Low fat diets are doomed to fail becuse it´s natural to eat fat and you just go around hungry all the time if you don´t eat fat.

We are all scared by fat by a very bad scientific study about fat consumption there countries were people ate alot of fat but didn´t had much problem with hearth diseses were left out.

[GeoSusan]

This clip misrepresents the Atkins diet. You are NOT encouraged to eat tons of food. Your NOT encouraged to eat processed meat >Bacon. I have lean meat & a salad or low carb veggies you have to eat 4 cup of veggie a day. You can eat healthy food with olive oil good fat or a little butter much better than the science experiment hydrogenated oil(margarine)

[ciaram535]

LMAO at the pepsi van that passed when she was talking about diets

[TonyParamatti]

Hey...Atkins diet can protect your body from CANCER...Sugar,flour and cancer connected..Alcohol, ice creams,chocolate,cake etc..and all of prepared foods are FORBİDDEN....This diet is so healthy and so useful...

[alphacause]

We even see the efficacy of a protein rich/fat rich low carbohydrate diet in large populations. There are hunter gatherer tribes all over the world NOW that don't have access to carbohydrates, and subsist on a diet of meat, nuts, seeds, and vegetables. And even among the SEDENTARY elders who no longer hunt, they are slim and suffer no degenerative diseases. One doesn't need a degree in nutrition to understand this, one only need look at a National Geographic special.

[403766]

@FORCEDANARCHY

Fuck all is muscle I'm using the atkins diet to get ripped for the summer quickly, and it's working.You do not simply damage organs in ketosis.

Dr Atkins died from a fall not dieting and at the beggining until you get used to it you will no longer look like shit.

Other diets are to hard for most people to follow you will fail witht hem.

[Hivort]

i just have on comment, it works

[Rjackman84]

So many people get the induction phase mixed up with the entire diet, you can eat carbs in Atkins and if you are really active you may need a little more than a normal person. It's not hard.

[muzicluva000]

what the fucking hell. fruit is good for you, meat is bad for you. its that simple...

[lonelymarker]

@muzicluva000 Yeah! Seriously! How dare science tread on your beliefs!  Wtf!

[Hivort]

@muzicluva000 this is not so simple dude, this diet really works anyway

[Gideon359]

@muzicluva000 Fruits are sugary, they have carbs. Meat is full of protein it can get you ripped.

[403766]

@muzicluva000

You are a moron meat is one of the best foods for you period no-one has ever doubted that with basic knowledge of nutrition.

And fruit is not amazing for you seriously come back more educated.

[FORCEDANARCHY]

Everyone I have EVER known who have done these stuff your face with dead animal diets look like hell! Yes you can lose weight but these diets are for people who want a diet where they don't have to think or use common sense. Processed meat and similar foods are not going to make you healthy. Go back to nature, exercise, and for the love of God use your brains! Water, raw fruits, veggies, and exercise---don't limit yourself on any of these.

[GeoSusan]

@FORCEDANARCHY Your told NOT to eat Processed Meat READ THE BOOK This clip totally misrepresents the atkins diet.

[rockcityaudio]

people should not be confused...its simple think about it!.

imagine you are in the wild,I mean really out there surviving.

all food will be limited and no chips no bread or useless foods from packets grow on trees.

so small amounts of fruits,small amounts of meat/ fish and good amounts of veggies. don't eat meat everyday(skilled hunters don't!)its too hard to catch!.

no oils,no cookies,no chips, no sodas,nothing that's packaged and processed.

and a nice drink of water now and again. that's it!

[jailstop]

@rockcityaudio That is the very same mind set I have when it comes to food. Before I eat I run for 20 to 60 mins simulating the "hunt". Thats the problem with allot of people they don't understand that just like all animals we are made to work for every meal.

[ginalovesribena]

I lowered my carb intake for about a week I think it was and everyone noticed i'd lost weight. I think I must have lost about 5 pounds, it was such a suprise, but you have to stick to it otherwise it all comes back!

[zegonzales]

Its a LIE that Atkins eliminate fruit. many people can eat up to 80 or even 100 grams of carbohydrate on mantainance , thats a lot of room for fruits and vegetables, specially fruit which is antioxidant and phytochemically rich.

[grace23fun]

why are people buying into a diet that says you can have like tons of bacon but not an apple because it has carbs! WTF!

[mzoljones]

u know absolutely NOTHING about the atkins diet...I've read the book and followed this way of eating for 2 years... Atkins emphasizes eating plenty of vegetables, fish, chicken, healthy fat such as almonds, avocado, etc...where did you get your "tons of bacon" info......obviously from someone who was NOT doing the Atkins diet ...eating tons of bacon unhealthy and stupid as hell....and no fruit, LOL! FYI, I eat everything except for white flour, processed foods, and sugar....

[nmclay]

@grace23fun Retarded people should not be allowed to post their comments. They waste time and bandwidth.

[grace23fun]

@nmclay then why are you replying? gosh darn it you retard. will no one be able to tell i was just quoting foamy the squirel! fucking hilarious videos he has

[pistasheo]

hopefully all y'all people loving atkins have had a full blood workup and everything's healthy

[mzoljones]

thanks for caring! Been eating the Atkins way for 2 years, I have lost 103lbs, and I have had my blood workup x3 in the past year...and the results were excellent each time! I have tons of energy and I feel wonderful!

[SyeraMiktayee]

Dr. Atkins has been a lifesaver for many, including me and my carb-intolerant family. :) I've been low-carbing now for six years, and there's no way I'd change it.

Naysayers need to get their heads out of their rears and take a look at how it's helped people get their bloodsugar, cholesterol, appetite, and such under control.

[Chaaarge]

I have noticed that the atkins diet is a normalizer! if you have bodyfat to lose, you will natuarally eat a bit less, but if you're working out with weights, your apetite will increase naturally to repair muscle :O. I was a sceptic to this diet just a few weeks ago, untill I realised I have gained weight on it, but at the same time, lost body fat! And no more blood sugar crashes :)

[talusan909]

Dr Atkins diet helped me not only to lose 50 lbs of fat/toxins but also helped me understand why I got fat. My blood pressure excellent, cholesterol down, look younger, energetic, and above all, I feel healthy. Coupled this diet with exercise and discipline to care for my health.....life is good.

[AbsolutelyNameless]

My Husbands cholesterol level halved on Atkins.

[lazlow88]

yup thats what it does

[agustinromanii]

sorry i gave u a thumb down but i meant to click on thumbs up :)

[jscaforlife]

So thankful for Dr. Atkins!! I've lost a lot of weight in my lifetime, after each of my 3 pregnancies in which I gained a lot of weight. I would eat barely anything and have hardly enough energy to function. I have ruined my metabolism, trying to diet time and time again. I'm down to those last few pounds and Atkins has helped me lose weight when all else has been failing me. I've recently lost seven pounds and I feel GREAT!!! TOTALLY LOVE ATKINS!!

[emptypub]

The Atkins diet is very close to the French diet, and pre the American junk food on Europe, the French are known to love their food and remain thin.

I have been to France and I can tell you, you can consume a lot of steak, cream, and green leafy veg over there.

They however do eat bread and pastries, but it is not consumed before bed and any old time of the day.

[sexfanatic]

6:19 He use to be quite the looker

[cherilynmonroe]

This man saved many lives..mine included. I miss him.

[RobsnVegas]

A true American hero.

Cavemen lived mostly on protein.

Tigers are beautiful, and all they eat is meat.

Low carb diets have been around for hundreds of years.

Read " Good Calorie Bad Calorie "

[tiggie1975]

Excellent book!

[Chaaarge]

to those of you losing so much weight, I just wanted to ask if you lose a lot of muscle on the atkins diet? I work out a lot and want to lose fat but not my muscle mass

[Goinglite]

Studies have shown, that on a low carb high fat high protein diet, the muscle mass pretty much stays intact.

[Chaaarge]

so it's pretty good when working out for fat loss?

[MisterQuebec]

It's not enough to shed the pounds. You have to become healthy. Does your diet, whatever it is, make you thinner and more healthy? Then keep doing it.

[personalchefkym]

What is bad about meat, poultry, fish, seafood, green leafy vegetables, nuts and berries...yeah, dangerous.

[menu12345]

why Dr.Campell spending his life long studies in efforts to save the nation from many dieseas by health nutritions whereas Dr, Akins sumed up his ideas to teach peple to comsume super fat , no carb, no vege to screw us over

[aboss115music]

Amen to Dr. Campbell

[sw33tlildreamerx]

Dr. Atkins did NOT advocate cutting out all vegetables, or even eating no carbs. That's a total misconception. Please do your research before posting silly lies about Dr. Atkins.

[Stayrsaigh]

@sw33tlildreamerx Here here, it's only the first 2 weeks that the diet is restricted, carbs, fruit and vegatables are reintroduced in later phases! Well said sir!

[mzoljones]

the Atkins diet that I follow emphasizes eating plenty of vegetables...Atkins is LOW carb...I eat everything except for white flour, sugar, & processed foods...what's unhealthy about that??

[erickdahen]

hope aktins get the respect he deserves, down 45 pounds and going, to those who get the pounds back: this is a nutritional aproach, not a diet, you have to live by it.

[newbirth35]

God bless Dr. Atkins. I lost 65 lbs. on Atkins before stalling out and switching diets. But I still keep my protein high and watch my carbs.
