Low-Carb Beats Low-Fat

In a new two-year study on dieting, the low-carb Atkins diet had the most weight loss and lowest cholesterol levels. But other approaches had other benefits, reports Dr. Jon LaPook.

I agree with you completely. Animal fat is the most natural form of fat out there... and we need fat! It's healthy. I gained weight on low- fat for years.... Now I eat plenty of fat and I have lost 40 pounds.

The 80's and Ancel keys had it all wrong.

CARBOHYDRATES WILL KILL YOU.

Animal meat and animal fat are about the best things a Human can eat. Throw in some berries, veggies, and just some fruit, and you have The Caveman Diet.

@flootisboy65 Our human ancestors ate VERY LITTLE sat animal fat. the majority of their caloric needs were met by high nutrient dense fruits,vegetables,nuts,seeds and especially starches. A diet based on saturated animal fat and cholesterol has been shown to be extremely harmful and dangerous and to recommend it to other people is plain ignorant. Early hominids were plant eaters.most modern western diseases have propagated since intensive animal husbandry started. potatoes>>steak.

@ConcreteRiver Are you a vegan, if so i'm just wasting my time, no matter what I say you will only see it your way. But I know that humans have been eating sat.fat for so long without problems then we switched to synthetic stuff in our foods and heart disease started on the rise. I feel so much better on low carb. If my body feel good I don't care what experts vegans or celebrities tell me. I don't need scientist to tell me sugar is bad I know because I feel like crap after eating it.

@flootisboy65 Atkins himself stated, when responding to the lack of peer reviewed study that wasn't funded by Atkins Corp itself, as to the safety and health benefits to his diet, stated that the scientists and medical establishments were already biased against his "work and theories", so there was no need to call for these studies. A commonality shown by all followers of low carb high fat is "you ignore the science. it is there for you to see". Well lets see it. Authentic and peer documented!

@flootisboy65 Atkins(the dead guy) widow Veronica Atkins, has stated in numerous interviews that her husband had advanced athereosclerosis, clogged arteries. He suffered a myocardial infarction(heart attack) shortly before he died.He died as a fat, unhealthy, albeit very rich man. Millions who tried his ANA also developed severe CV problems and woke up to the fact that gorging on cholesterol and fat is not conduisive to human health. Nor is it natural.

@ConcreteRiver Atkins died from falling on ice, not coronary heart disease, The fact that you resorted to name calling is hard proof of your lack of itellect. Odd you mention science since good unbiased science proves the opposite of what you are saying.

[ConcreteRiver]

@blokesome Science and common sense tells us that this type of high fat diet is lunacy. and your god Dr Fatkins died as a fat, ugly man from coronary heart disease. if you are still alive in 10 years, if your own arteries haven't clogged up by then because you and I both know that you are full of shit. the only false information here is the shit you are spewing. wake up. your dietarian lifestyles are ripping this planet up!

@ConcreteRiver My health has never been better. I have not gotten sick in over a year. My skin is spectacular. I no longer have knee and other joint pain. I sleep soundly at night, and I no longer suffer from mild depression. I'm sorry that your deluded, narrow mind prevents you from searching for the truth and that you are satisfied with the false information that you have been spoon-fed your entire life. Good day!

@blokesome you lose weight on an atkins style diet because you are causing yourself to be sick and if you continue on this type of eating, you will suffer the consequences, that is a fact, and you know it. weight loss does not equate to health. this type of eating is very dangerous and obviously NOT condusive to overall human health. Please google Jody Gorran, a man in relatively good shape who took your advice to eat butter and cheese and meat and it nearly killed him. you disgust me

[blokesome]

@ConcreteRiver No one is talking about GORGING oneself. I ate butter, cheese, bacon, etc. to satiation and lost shitload of weight! It's not an absurdity. It is reality.

[flootisboy65]

You can't pig out on butter bacon and cheese, well the point get enough protein and you won't want to pig out.
