Atkins Challenge: Video 1 - "My Story"

[crisology]

@JayNotcool "fruit is SEASONAL"

But digestion isn't!

"u can't have fruit year round!"

Hominidae co-evolved tens of millions of yrs during the Miocene in equatorial Africa, which was NOT 'seasonal', before ice age. The digestive system doesn't care what season it is, humans STILL digest fruit best w/opposing digestive processes to meat intake. Meat causes diverticulitis, hemorrhoids, cancer, diabetes, etc.

"created to only eat fruit during the short time of year"

That's your religious ritual.

[samprimmer1]

Scientifically it's called the Ketogenic Diet. I'm 11% body fat & want to go down to 7%. I'm on day 10 and I see my abs looking much more chizzled. I've done no exercise in the last 10 days coz I been lazy. I've cut out all sugar, potatoes, broccoli and anything originating from grain.

I plan to stay on for 30 days. When I'm off I am going to simple half the amount of carbs I used to eat & spread my food over 6 meals daily to keep my metabolism running fast.

Google Ketogenic Diet & click wiki

There is an 'orb' in the top left corner of the screen @ 2:18

[crisology]

bone mass is also dependent upon the relative acid/alkaline dietary

load [Massey 1998; Barzel and Massey 1998]. Acid generated by the diet

is excreted in the urine and can cause calciuresis. Meat and fish have

a high potential renal acid load (PRAL) whereas fruits and vegetables

have a negative PRAL, meaning they reduce acid excretion. [Massey 1998; Barzel and Massey 1998].” J Am Diet Assoc. 1995 Jul;95(7):791-7

[crisology]

"fruit is SEASONAL"

Depends on fruit species and location. In equatorial Africa hominidae co-evolved eating fruit yr round, w/no genetic deselection for fruit digestion. Humans still digest fruit best. Leafy greens, sprouts and edible flowers are digested similarly as alkaline, high fiber food. Today fruit can be purchased yr round if u are out of habitat.

"study cave men"

There is no such species. u watch too many cartoons, H. neanderthalensis was outcompeted by H. sapiens on higher ground.

[crisology]

"Excess dietary proteins and "acid ash" diets have been suspected to increase the risk of osteoporosis..high protein-high acid ash diets were associated with an increased risk of fracture" J Bone Miner Res. 2008 Dec;23(12):1915-22. Proteins, dietary acid load, and calcium and risk of postmenopausal fractures in the E3N French women prospective study.

Meat is high in iron, copper, zinc, sodium, etc and lacks calcium which neutralize acidic ash.

[johnlovesbridge]

@crisology Thanks PETA, youre so smart!

[crisology]

"meat does contain acidic.."

True.

"Adkins is NOT a high protein"

False. Meat is High protein and fat. Human breast milk has 1 gram of protein per 100. All meat is MUCH higher.

"Patients with Uric acid stones are advised to stay on low protein diets to reduce acid ash (sulfur) and to reduce purines that breakdown into uric acid." -Urostone prevention.'Kidney stone prevention'.

"FAT..more efficient fuel source than carbs!"

False. Carbs are preferred energy. Fruit is alkalizing w/high Ca, K, Mg.

[cfoster3406]

The Atkins diet is more about meat people......

[ThePaulyMichaelShow]

From what I understand if I may comment is if your body does not handle carbohydrates well with regards to fat storage then the minute you go back to eating them again your body will begin to store fat again. Carbohyrdates in some people are unfortunately very fattening.

[lachs85]

U inspired me... i really wanna stick witth atkins...

[crisology]

@lachs "i really wanna stick witth atkins..."

It will really stick w/u, too. The high fat diet causes sticky stools and the compromise in the fiber intake will also cause putrefaction dysbiosis and with the excess protein in the meat centered diet this will also increase colon cancer risk. Is all this for body image? There are other ways to lose weight without mortgaging long-term health.

The same high fiber diet that aids weight loss w/greater effectiveness also provides the most antioxidants

[shaydyknight]

if you come off the correct way on atkins which is gradual stages then you really won't put a ton back on. If you go back to eating like a slob, then well you will.

[marcusbodill]

wow man, hay i feel ya, i was the same, on atkins years ago lost a ton a weight and put all back on, now back on it again high gear, thanks for your inspiration :-))

[shsu97]

I now realize that if i focuse on the veggies & eliminate the junk I can do it...and by the weight you looked great at everyweight...u probably were more happy at the smaller size but u were not ugly..take that off & jst put bigger or something...

[Lukin4SumthnReal]

Your story is my story too man.. I feel you!

[babycee303]

i actually find low carb easy considering theres other diets where U DONT EAT. soo EATIN.... low carb, is great

[buckwheat40]

@babycee303 can you tell me what you eat on atkins induction? I will be starting soon

[babycee303]

@buckwheat40 right now im on a lowcarbthing but not to lose weight.i just dont digest sugars well. i have coffee n cream bout 2 cups btwen9-11, round noon i make a spinach,mushroom,sausage,1egg,­2whites fritatta with feta i bake it for 7-10min. ill hv a handful of raw cashews or almonds as a snack or atkins bar-but i avoid them(aspartame) n dinner is a vinaigrette salad with seafood or chicken. or sashimi with satay veggies

[crisology]

@babycee303 " i have coffee n cream bout 2 cups btwen9-11, round noon i make a spinach,mushroom,sausage,1egg,­­2whites fritatta with feta i bake it for 7-10min"

What's so healthy about that? Sounds like just an average diet of cooked, high protein food products with minimal antioxidants, maintaining moderate risk of diseases of affluence.

[markcumbriauk]

Good luck Mate

[KarthikSoun]

Rest in peace Pete!!! This kid died of an heart attack 8months ago..

[rebeccalatham1]

Atkins, done properly as Atkins himself taught, is not a high protein diet. It is not a meat, egg and cheese diet. It is high fat, moderate protein, controlled carb. In the lifetime maintenance phase, the diet is not restrictive of any food group. Please read "The New Atkins for A New You" (2010) to hear the truth about Atkins and the science behind it.

Critiques of Atkins taken from studies of people eating high protein. However, Atkins is NOT high protein, so those studies don't apply.

[babycee303]

holy fuck whyd u put on the weight

[mzrey]

Amazing!

[crisology]

'fruit will result in you getting diabetes'

False.

High fructose cory syrup is associated w/diabetes but NOT REAL fruit.

"Positive associations were also observed between type 2 diabetes and red meat" -Arch Internal Med. 2004;164:2235.

Fruit enhances insulin response. Meat reduces insulin sensitivity.

"Fruit and vegetable intake may be inversely associated w/diabetes incidence. -Prev Med Jan 2001

[crisology]

@JayBcool 'carbs increase blood ph because they increase the amount of CO2'

You don't know what you're talking about.

'in the blood so actually eating more carbs will acidify your blood'

increased pH is alkaline NOT acidic.

Meat requires more HCl to break it down. And meat has more acidic elements i.e. iron, copper, sulfur, phosphorous, etc, as opposed to the generally higher alkaline ratios within fruit i.e. potassium, calcium, magnesium, etc.

You have no diet experience.

[KLmatt3006]

Listen im not trying to be funny but when u watch this video is me or are there "orbs" flying around like crazy?! I think you have some paranormal activity @ your home killa....i counted like 7

[Lad24LFC]

wow, this video is full of orbs. looks like you got plenty of spirit activity in your house.

[crisology]

"I'm hopefully going to stick with it as long as I can"

Long-term fad diets have health risks.

"Consumption of an LCHP diet for 6 weeks delivers a marked acid load to the kidney, increases the risk for stone formation, decreases estimated calcium balance, and may increase the risk for bone loss. Copyright 2002 by the National Kidney Foundation, Inc.

[sizar20]

keep on doing it :) i have lost 26 LB in 6 weeks but workout 6 times a week.. low carb is good

[octopussy18]

what are those lights crossing the room while you talk?

[smurfp4444]

OBESITY IS A BY PRODUCT. LETS BUILD A CHAIN OF CHANGE ,AND PLEASE POP OVER TO MY CHANNEL FOR A LOOK . I have 4 videos at my channel. IS FOOD A SUBSTANCE???? Thanks Paul

[letletbrown]

wo u got pretty sexy lol

[crisology]

Based on detailed data from 55,000 pregnancies, acetone and other ketones may cause brain damage in the fetus, which may result in the baby being born mentally retarded. The fact that ketones seemed to cause "significant neurological impairment" and an average loss of about 10 IQ points was well known and aroused "considerable concern" years before Atkins published his first book. Atkins nonetheless wrote. "I recommend this diet to all my pregnant patients."

[zegonzales]

Maybe a Dr. mistake, however , most Atkineers are not pregnant at this moment, I certainly am not.

[crisology]

"I don't know where fruit got this great reputation" -Atkins

"patterns characterized by a low frequency of meat and potato consumption and frequent consumption of fruit and vegetables and fat-reduced foods are consistent with a decreased risk of colorectal cancer. Am J Clin Nutr. 2008 Jul;88(1):176-84

"animal source food correlates with the country-by-country incidence of six types of cancer. It appears that the less animal source food per capita, the lower the cancer rate. Cancer,Harris, M.D.

[TrueLoveWithin]

Oh man. Same thing happened to me. I lost around 85 pounds on Atkins when I went on it around 2003. Then I got a boyfriend that would always have chocolate cake around, and everyone I knew was helping me cheat on my diet. Now, I'm like 50 pounds more than when I started the diet before. I started the diet again last week and I'm seeing a difference already. I'm subscribing to your vids.

[firsttodie]

good luck to you, ive started just eating generally healthier and not eating as much junk food, ive started goign to the gym 4 nigths a week also, makes a big difference

[KarthikSoun]

Thanks dude.. i was looking for some inspiration to lose weight and you inspired me a lot.

But people say if u stop the Atkins diet then ur bound to put on weight faster! Now looks like the same has happened to you?! Is it possible to stay thin even if u let go of Atkins but maintain a reasonable calorie intake? Thanks..

[AtkinsChallenge]

it's possible but it's not necessarily easy

[KarthikSoun]

Then do you mean it is very hard to stay lean once ur off Atkins diet!!?

And if u dont mind could you message me some of the recipes that i can use? Like salads or something, if its not too much to ask!! please.. Thanks..

[quotidianlight]

That is because most people never read the book or go through the pre-maintenance and maintenance phases.

[sigrino]

@KarthikSoun According to Atkins you have to find your critical carb limit, ie the amount of carbs u can eat and not gain weight, So its not only about the calories, carbs also!

[drwalpurgis]

Best wishes, my friend. I hope it's working out for you.

[LoVeS2007]

Yeah-big difference!!!

Wish you to become again the same sexy person (2:47) as you used to be after your Atkins diet.

I am also trying to lose 22 to 33 pounds to get to my old sexy shape.

I just have subscribed you.

Stay strong!

[AtkinsChallenge]

thank you!

[fatphucker]

Awesome motivation!! I've been on Atkins for a few weeks now and stopped craving things I would typically have. Good luck and stay strong!

[AtkinsChallenge]

Thanks!

[mikistena]

I hope you'll reach your goals. But, I have to say I don't believe in branded diets. I suggest guidelines of American College of Sport Medicine: 150kcal/24h spent exercising while on a isodiet(your usual menu). It's far less stressful for body, though it is slow. And by the way maybe you were a nerd(I don't know), but you're not ugly. Don't treat yourself like that!

[AtkinsChallenge]

i appreciate the feedback

[TrueLoveWithin]

That's fine for people who have maybe 5-30 extra pounds on them. But when you're really heavy, you need a lot more support.

[Adisa784]

Awesome start!!!I hope you continue to have success.Very encouraging.(=

[AtkinsChallenge]

thank you i appreciate that!

I lost 10.5 lbs so far, look at my newest video and make sure you subscribe!

[disneydiva21]

:( i missed pasta

[AtkinsChallenge]

Yeah it's not for everybody... I'm going to do it for a few months and see how it goes.

Thanks for the comment.
