It's irking to continuously hear that Atkins allows a limitless amount of food or that you can eat as much as you want. If you read the book, it states that you're supposed to eat until you're satisfied, not gorge yourself because you can.
These idiots think that The Atkins diet gives you free will to pig out, that infact is NOT true. Atkins diet is based on simple substitution of foods but you still have to maintain fitness and not eat too much but just eat enough so you're not hungry, completely uninformed documentary.
@dumbangel75 This documentary is a few years old now. Other studies show that some people are more likely to have arterial problems than others. As Atkins admitted. Studies show that fatty foods are self-limiting for most people, & many Atkins dieters ate fewer calories because fatty foods satiated their appetites quickly. Long-term studies do not confirm that Atkins weight loss is any more permanent than other programmes. Humans typically go back to their old ways regardless of diet.

its not a limitless eating diet and even though fat is allowed its still encouraged to eat lead proteins- I dont know of anywhere that it says people on this diet sit around eating butter all day- I love how people are always so over dramatic about what the diets really are
What's with the strawman argument about "limitless" eating? I never, ever, ever heard Atkins say this or promote this. Nor do I see any other low-carb eaters promote this.
Process foods are not part of the three nutrients: fat, protein and Carbs. True Carbs come from fruits and veggies not ho-hos and rice crispies! this is why america is fat. Too many simple Carbs!
as a diabetic, I have to get blood work done often. The closer I stay to the low carb way-- the better ALL my blood numbers are . It really is true. I am healthier in ALL ways --eating low carb.
Can someone please tell me if the food pyramid, which emphasises carbohydrates as being the most important food group, is still valid? I am really confused!
No diet is healthy when it eliminates whole groups of food. There's a reason why you should eat a balanced diet with a lot of variety. Your body needs different sources of minerals, vitamins etc. When you benefit from a single food group, you're depriving yourself and risking your health because you lack other nutrients.
@Likokas It is healthy to eliminate whole groups of food when those food groups are:
A.) Unnecessary (you could live your entire life without consuming a single gram of carbohydrate. Your liver is capable of producing a certain amount from protein.)
B.) Unnatural (processed)
C.) Unhealthy (carbohydrates/sugars/etc.)
Guess what high-carb fits this bill? Bread. Whole wheat, white, whole grain, doesn't matter, humans aren't evolved to eat bread and it's horrid for you.
@LuniaVideo "humans aren't evolved to eat bread and it's horrid for you." - Rubbish. Bread has been a part of pretty much all of the lives of people that are living to be over 100. Everything in moderation.
Evolution takes millions of years. Agriculture has been around for around 10,000 years. Even IF evolution was to take a path that would make bread suitable in the human diet (which it wouldn't ever because evolution does not ever make deadly things beneficial) it would still not be for quite a while where humans would reach the point of being able to deal with bread.
"the accepted wisdom of medical science" ? yeah...I'm pretty sure that leeches and cocaine were once "accepted widsom of medical science".....follow the money as usual. Big Agra funds most of the studies done by "medical science"...along with Big Pharma....eat your Cheerios and take your statins people.....don't buck the system.
"Could a diet that science said makes no sense - actually be working?" Correction: SOME science. And there's no "could be working", it clearly DOES and IS working for many.
This is ridiculous! Did they really say that there is no scientific evidence to back up the theories of Atkins? Uhhh think again, idiots! There is MORE science to back up carbohydrate restriction for health than any quack science for "low-fat"!
@bundleHastings Yes, all the bullshit about thermodynamics ignores the studies that have shown, over and over, people losing more weight on a low-carb diet than a low-fat version, yet eating more calories! Obviously its going somewhere besides our fat cells.
lol "science eat humble pie" they new all along what was going on, they choose to ignore it because it wouldn't make money, just thank what would happen if we all started eating low carb, the economy would collapse...being healthy doesn't make money
High fat content in low carb diets may SEEM harmful but the harmful effects have historically been observed in those who consume lots of carbs concurrently. The other thing that people bash up low carb diets for is the high protein content, claiming it impairs kidney function. It's true that patients with kidney failure is advised to go on low protein diet but that's with the context where someone has EXISTING renal diseases.
@robrosy Good explanation. Helps resolve some of the cognitive dissonance I'm having about this. I still struggle with the notion that people can eat as much saturated fat as they want without bad consequences. But people eating tons of carbs and sugars appears to be at least as dangerous, if not more.
As such most of the fats that one consumes on atkins would simply be burned as fuel in the place of carbs. Furthermore there are plenty of good quality randomised trials which have shown good evidence for the use of low carb diets and some that looked at cardiovascular outcomes(measured as cardiovascular events/strokes)found lower rates of heart attacks/strokes among thsoe on low carb diets. Not one good quality study has ever found a solid evidence that low carb diets are harmful.
It's painful to watch how these academics make hypothetical assumptions about the 'potential' detrimental effects of fats. Fats are bad when consumed with lots of carbohydrates, as the body is built such that it prefers sugars as compared to fats and thus in the presence of carbs, the fats that one consumes would be stored etc. However in atkins diet the carb intake is limited and thus the body essentially RELIES on fats(as a matter a fact this would comply with the first law of thermodynamics)
Why dont they ever talk about what kind of weight ppl lose with this kind of diet? Fat, muscle, water, bloodvolume etc. If you lose twice as much but most of it is muscle or water...what´s the point?
@1977jenna During the first week or so, most of your weight loss is water weight. After that, it's fat as long as you eat enough protein. if you don't eat enough protein, you can lose muscle.
@JesusGodHolySpirit3 it makes you lose fat, not weight. fat is what you want to lose, not muscle which is what you lose on low calorie, low protein and fat and high carb diets.
@bundleHastings If you only want the facts, then why dont u read about the atkins diet?? u prefer to watch this at a television show but u dont want to look like a television show..
The people citing the law of thermodynamics are just IDIOTS. Just because calories can't dissappear, doesn't mean they all have to end up in FAT STORES. Your body has thousands of uses for energy that you put into it, and fat storage is just 1 of them, which is regulated by insulin, which is secreted when you eat carbohydrates. When you eat carbs + fat, it uses the carbs for energy and stores the fat.. when you eat no carbs, your body uses fat and protein for energy, with no storage.
I find it funny how people say it violates the laws of thermodynamics. Just because you put calories in your body doesn't mean they're going to stay there.
the BBC is the biggest fucking cunt inthe planet. They have their own agenda and are trying to demonize Dr Atkins and his diet. Hence, the spooky music when fats are present. Gary Taubes has already proved the medical institution has been wrong for decades. Atkins diet is the best for weight loss and good health.
So high fat diets are harmless are they? Well this goes against what we know from population studies. Traditional Asian diets give an average cholesterol 40% lower than western diets with an age standardised rate of heart attacks one sixteenth the western rate. This was the finding of the largest population health study ever performed, the China-wide Cornell-China Heart Study in the 1980s and has been confirmed in dozens of other studies. Coronary plaques are pure cholesterol. A coincidence?
@gdh7260 That is rediculous. Do you realize how much meat asians eat? Not to mention the total lack of sugar and refined carbs in their diets. The only high carb portion of their diet is rice. The rest of their diet (especially chinese) is very high in meat (in which they eat every part of the animal) and a wide variety of vegetables. Not to mention obesity rates are growing in both china and japan because of more availability in high carb snack foods and sugary processed foods in cities.
I love how they're so biased and attempting to change people's opinions. 'The Atkins Diet MAY benefit your health'.. never any full positive statements, though studies prove that The Atkins Diet definitely work.
This is one diet I am looking forward to trying, and Im anticipating brilliant results, for once!
Most people on these diets don't just stuff themselves stupid with meat and fat, they just eat normal or perhaps slightly larger portions but without the carbs! That's part of the reason why they lose weight.
@1980Jonno Exactly... and the thing people don't realize is, when you eat primarily high protein and fat, your hunger dissipates quite a lot. Think of how someone feels after eating a bowl of cereal, or a 6 ounce steak... both can have the same amount of calories, but after cereal they are still hungry, and after steak they are satisfied and full. Even tho it seems you eat more meat / fat, most of the time people on low carb are actually consuming less calories.
The Paleo Diet is the healthiest, which is eating good clean protein such as steak, eggs, chicken, turkey... and lots of veggies either raw or cooked. Fruit, nuts and anything else that a hunter gather could have eaten 10,000 or more years ago.
The agricultural revolution, happened 10,000 years ago. As soon as we started eating grains our bodies got weaker and smaller, diabetes and heart disease grew.

know what else is weird about the Atkins diet? you almost NEVER shit! I did it for well over a year many years ago and lost around 70 lbs. Barely ever had a bowel movement either. how does that work? lol
@Goinglite i ate about 2 green salads a day... but otherwise was VERY strict about only eating meat. i just remember going days and says... not thinking about it... but then realizing i hadnt had a BM in like, a week. and this happend all the time. still, i was loosing pounds. at least one or two a week. it was amazing. and mysterious lol. where did it go!?
@Aprilshowersss Hahaha.. definitely need to increase your water intake haha. I had that problem my first couple weeks, but started drinking lots more water, and included more fibre in the veggies I was eating... fixed me right up haha.
why are people so retarded. Essential fatty acids and appropriate fats should be the source of fats, not just anything. Some ratio between protein and fat should be established. But that might actually take a little work and dedication.
Science was the one who said that the human body burns calories, Atkins never came up with that theory.
It's has always baffled me to hear "burn calories", I think science might be wrong about burning calories in the first place, but it's sort of like the atom theory, where many are debating particles versus string theory.
In my opinion I think that calories is more of a chemical reaction, like a battery: Energy, heat, and toxic (eliminated through the excretory system) are the result.
You are very, very wrong when you say he advocaged: "tons of vegetables". Veggies are VERY limited, especially things like tomatoes, carrots, swede, parsnip, sweetcorn and so on...
You are very, very wrong when you say he advocated: "tons of vegetables". Veggies are VERY limited, especially things like tomatoes, carrots, swede, parsnip, sweetcorn and so on...
Also you say lean protein, when Dr A stated his diet is a 70% fat diet, and LOTS of fats and oils are to be eaten.
Where are the veggies??? Atkins is a much more balanced diet then what is being shown here. People who follow it quickly, lose their hunger and also lose weight.
I tried this diet once! Its mad... you reallty do loose weight but after 5 days the craving for fruit was so great i gave up. I felt sluggish and half dead during the diet... now i will only take the long but safe way.
@hellangelassia Five days? You have up waaay too soon. Most of us feel that way for the first 3 weeks. After that, you'd have more energy than you know what to do with!
@hellangelassia Most all studies on atkin's and atkin's style diets show that it improves health, and is quite safe.. even more so than low - fat diets.
because if you understand nutrition today, a calorie isn't a calorie...that mentality would mean that 100 calories from soda is the same as 100 calories of spinach. more protein has a high thermogenic affect on the body in fact it actually takes calories to use the calories of protein...hence why it helps.
@GrenMoyo So If they had been put on a low protein, low carb, high fat diet - they world not lose weight? Can you back that up? I'm not trying to offend, I would actually be interested in that kind of research.
I'm surprised nobody's mentioned combining this diet with Alli - eat all the fatty meat and be full but lose all the fat in the end. Sorry, couldn't help the pun :) Have to wonder how dangerous that diet would be though...yikes!
I think they were attempting to make it seem more "dramatic" and "entertaining." I mean...it is documentary about a diet. But I certainly understand your view point and the information would have been just as palatable without the music.
This diet was great the 1st time, i went from 96kg to 80kg in 3months, then went off it and ended up 104kgs! not good, expemsive to maintain and u crave normal things like cereal and bread something chronic, but if u can manage to stay very low carb forever, this diet is perfect for keeping the gut away.
This didn't happen to me. I lost 200 lbs by eating low carb and keeping my carbs under 30 grams per day. Once I reached my goal weight I slowly increased my carb intake until I neither gained or lost weight depending on my exercise plan. While on low carb I only had cravings for carbs in the first week, after that I had cravings for roasted chicken, duck, turkey, the list goes on. I currently eat about 90 grams of carbs now, and have maintained a 201 weight for 6 years.
What stupidity. No one says you can eat limitless food. The point is to not eat carbs and sugar (carbs). Instead of burning carbs when we move around, we burn the fat. Changing your car from cheap carb gas to delicious fatty gas. Add exercise and you will have a perfect body. Atkins is a genius.
@joeylodes How long did it take you if you don't mind me asking? Your story is pretty inspiring.. I had 40 pounds to lose (lost 10 so far, 3 weeks in) and am looking to be around 195 as well... Awesome job! Thanks for sharing with us.
Good fats such as omega 3's that come from food's such as salmon, nuts, flax seed oils etc. Have been proven to not only be good for the brain but also help lose weight.
Combine this with fruits and veges which are high in fibre and carbs such as wild rice and green tea along with exercise you would be very healthy. People are thinking in reverse.
Eat healthy to lose weight not the other way around.
@HotKebab Omega fats definitely are healthy, but what is even more interesting to me is all the studies that are now showing that saturated fats, which have been demonized for the past 40 years, are actually not harmful to our health. There's a lot of data out there to prove it, and when you think practically, it makes sense.. When ancestral hunters killed their prey, they ate everything.. the meat, the fat, tendons, all of it. In fact they would've been less likely to have omegas available
rk9295 I think your findings are correct. There is less money to be made from selling us proteins.
And don't forget the massive profits being made from weight loss surgery, which is now being offered to just about anyone. My doc even offered it to me on the NHS!
Atkins never said that calories could "go missing." He just said that once you reorient your body to run primarily on fat instead of carbs, many of the calories pass right through you.
so much for having fancy papers and degrees in nutrition... it's hard to believe that they all could be so wrong. saturated fast is supposedly so bad, yet some of the healthiest traditional societies in the world eat tons of it... the masais, the eskimos... weston price proved it all, yet no one listened. how is it fucking possible
I have combined low carb with calorie counting and lost over 68 lbs so far this year. As said before it is amazing how satisfied you feel even though you eat less calories (I actually only eat about 1/4 ofthe calories that I used to).
If your diet is High Fat (saturated fat) / Low Carb, then there's no need to "count:" calories. You will lose weight more effectively and be in much better health.
People who followed a low-carbohydrate, high-protein diet lost more weight than people on a low-fat, low-cholesterol, low-calorie diet during a six-month comparison study at Duke University Medical Center. However, the researchers caution that people with medical conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure should not start the diet without close medical supervision.
wait, wait, wait... The government changed the peoples diets in the 70's? Then since then everyone got fat? Except for those people that kept to the origional diet? Damn Commies!!
What is this rubbish they are saying about "limitless food". Atkins never said that! READ THE BOOK! He said meat the size of a deck of cards and a side salad, 3 times a day!
that may be true, but my life style has little in common with cave men, don't know about yours of course. I've seen many people lose weight on the Atkins diet, so it works, but few were able to maintain it and gained the weight back. Like all things, has it's ups and downs.
Horrible show. The calories don't disappear. They are excreted in the form of ketones. The assertion that you either burn them or they end up stored as fat on your hips is fucking wrong, wrong, wrong.
There are lots of studies that have come out recently proving what a load of BS this high fat is bad for you nonsense. The low fat diet experiment has certainly failed the world!!! Read the Diet Delusion to understand the science Theodore Vanitallie!
Atkins is not a high calorie diet and he does not give a license to gorge. He says that calories do count, but you normally don't have to count them because limiting carbs lowers insulin secretion--the hormone that drives hunger and fat storage. You are satisfied on less food and can better use your stored body fat. Also, Atkins is not high protien. It's adequate protein. Most calories come from fat. Fat satisfies, but the only dietary fat REQUIRED is to provide essential fatty acids.
I have been in atkins for a month, and I have lost 22 pounds, or 10 kilos, I'm going to start vblogging in a few days, come to my site after mid april to get some support and recipies.
I mean, is butter really that bad... I used to forget butter out on the counter after making toast in the mornings and Id come home and my Cats ate that stuff. They loved butter! When I went fishing with buddies when I was younger, I threw a hard boiled egg in the lake, under a floatting pier and all these small fish started eatting it. Protien is good for humans too.

No diet is healthy when it eliminates whole groups of food. There's a reason why you should eat a balanced diet with a lot of variety. Your body needs different sources of minerals, vitamins etc. When you benefit from a single food group, you're depriving yourself and risking your health because you lack other nutrients.

kfarris23430 6 months ago
@Likokas It is healthy to eliminate whole groups of food when those food groups are:
A.) Unnecessary (you could live your entire life without consuming a single gram of carbohydrate. Your liver is capable of producing a certain amount from protein.)
B.) Unnatural (processed)
C.) Unhealthy (carbohydrates/sugars/etc.)
Guess what high-carb fits this bill? Bread. Whole wheat, white, whole grain, doesn't matter, humans aren't evolved to eat bread and it's horrid for you.

@TheSpankymonkey Uhhh no.
Evolution takes millions of years. Agriculture has been around for around 10,000 years. Even IF evolution was to take a path that would make bread suitable in the human diet (which it wouldn't ever because evolution does not ever make deadly things beneficial) it would still not be for quite a while where humans would reach the point of being able to deal with bread.

High fat content in low carb diets may SEEM harmful but the harmful effects have historically been observed in those who consume lots of carbs concurrently. The other thing that people bash up low carb diets for is the high protein content, claiming it impairs kidney function. It's true that patients with kidney failure is advised to go on low protein diet but that's with the context where someone has EXISTING renal diseases.
robrosy 10 months ago 2
@robrosy Good explanation. Helps resolve some of the cognitive dissonance I'm having about this. I still struggle with the notion that people can eat as much saturated fat as they want without bad consequences. But people eating tons of carbs and sugars appears to be at least as dangerous, if not more.
Dylvente 9 months ago
As such most of the fats that one consumes on atkins would simply be burned as fuel in the place of carbs. Furthermore there are plenty of good quality randomised trials which have shown good evidence for the use of low carb diets and some that looked at cardiovascular outcomes(measured as cardiovascular events/strokes)found lower rates of heart attacks/strokes among thsoe on low carb diets. Not one good quality study has ever found a solid evidence that low carb diets are harmful.
robrosy 10 months ago
It's painful to watch how these academics make hypothetical assumptions about the 'potential' detrimental effects of fats. Fats are bad when consumed with lots of carbohydrates, as the body is built such that it prefers sugars as compared to fats and thus in the presence of carbs, the fats that one consumes would be stored etc. However in atkins diet the carb intake is limited and thus the body essentially RELIES on fats(as a matter a fact this would comply with the first law of thermodynamics)

The people citing the law of thermodynamics are just IDIOTS. Just because calories can't dissappear, doesn't mean they all have to end up in FAT STORES. Your body has thousands of uses for energy that you put into it, and fat storage is just 1 of them, which is regulated by insulin, which is secreted when you eat carbohydrates. When you eat carbs + fat, it uses the carbs for energy and stores the fat.. when you eat no carbs, your body uses fat and protein for energy, with no storage.

So high fat diets are harmless are they? Well this goes against what we know from population studies. Traditional Asian diets give an average cholesterol 40% lower than western diets with an age standardised rate of heart attacks one sixteenth the western rate. This was the finding of the largest population health study ever performed, the China-wide Cornell-China Heart Study in the 1980s and has been confirmed in dozens of other studies. Coronary plaques are pure cholesterol. A coincidence?

@gdh7260 That is rediculous. Do you realize how much meat asians eat? Not to mention the total lack of sugar and refined carbs in their diets. The only high carb portion of their diet is rice. The rest of their diet (especially chinese) is very high in meat (in which they eat every part of the animal) and a wide variety of vegetables. Not to mention obesity rates are growing in both china and japan because of more availability in high carb snack foods and sugary processed foods in cities.

@1980Jonno Exactly... and the thing people don't realize is, when you eat primarily high protein and fat, your hunger dissipates quite a lot. Think of how someone feels after eating a bowl of cereal, or a 6 ounce steak... both can have the same amount of calories, but after cereal they are still hungry, and after steak they are satisfied and full. Even tho it seems you eat more meat / fat, most of the time people on low carb are actually consuming less calories.

Science was the one who said that the human body burns calories, Atkins never came up with that theory.
It's has always baffled me to hear "burn calories", I think science might be wrong about burning calories in the first place, but it's sort of like the atom theory, where many are debating particles versus string theory.
In my opinion I think that calories is more of a chemical reaction, like a battery: Energy, heat, and toxic (eliminated through the excretory system) are the result.

This didn't happen to me. I lost 200 lbs by eating low carb and keeping my carbs under 30 grams per day. Once I reached my goal weight I slowly increased my carb intake until I neither gained or lost weight depending on my exercise plan. While on low carb I only had cravings for carbs in the first week, after that I had cravings for roasted chicken, duck, turkey, the list goes on. I currently eat about 90 grams of carbs now, and have maintained a 201 weight for 6 years.

Atkins was on to something though.
Good fats such as omega 3's that come from food's such as salmon, nuts, flax seed oils etc. Have been proven to not only be good for the brain but also help lose weight.
Combine this with fruits and veges which are high in fibre and carbs such as wild rice and green tea along with exercise you would be very healthy. People are thinking in reverse.
Eat healthy to lose weight not the other way around.

@HotKebab Omega fats definitely are healthy, but what is even more interesting to me is all the studies that are now showing that saturated fats, which have been demonized for the past 40 years, are actually not harmful to our health. There's a lot of data out there to prove it, and when you think practically, it makes sense.. When ancestral hunters killed their prey, they ate everything.. the meat, the fat, tendons, all of it.

Atkins is not a high calorie diet and he does not give a license to gorge. He says that calories do count, but you normally don't have to count them because limiting carbs lowers insulin secretion--the hormone that drives hunger and fat storage. You are satisfied on less food and can better use your stored body fat. Also, Atkins is not high protien. It's adequate protein. Most calories come from fat. Fat satisfies, but the only dietary fat REQUIRED is to provide essential fatty acids.
