you wasted a fucking hour of my life to tell me that protien makes you want to eat less?

Some truly moronic statements about carbs here, and the inability to distinguish between complex carbs and refined. Atkins (along with most other diets) are for the most part, overweight people looking for a quick fix to a problem they caused by being a greedy lazy! There's only one diet I'm interested in...a balanced diet, and crazy as it sounds, a bit of f*cking exercise! Prevention is better than cure. Peace.

I call BS. I do not believe its because Atkins dieters eat less calories. I can go to a buffet everyday and eat 3-5 huge platefuls of meat until I'm ready to explode and still lose weight as long as I stay away from carbs. I'd often eat an entire can of almonds at a time and still lose weight. It's not until I start eating carbs(more than 100g) that I start gaining weight

+1. Agree. But it's not so much that low carb is good for us, It's that frequent fast rises in insulin are so bad for us! That is what ultimately is the killer. Since carbs break down into glucose fast especially simple carbs like SUCROSE it causes insulin to rise quickly, which causes damage to arterial walls and cholesterol tries to heal the damage.Its a response action! Unfortunately cholesterol has always got the blame but it's never been the root cause!!

I'm mostly astonished that no one figured out that the Atkins dieters where eating fewer calories than normal until so many years later!! Now that is astonishing. The Atkins diet is nothing special, it's just another LOW CALORIE diet. Yeh, he says you can eat as much as you like, key words "as much as you like". People did and they were actually eating less. If they had eaten like pigs beyond their daily energy expenditure they would gain weight on the diet. It's common sense!

Sugar is a carb fyi. And by the way it's not just any sugar in the body that blocks the hunger hormones it's fructose. Glucose is just fine.

This is so ridiculous.In all those years of testing and study groups and no one kept track of how many calories each group consumed in a day?! LMFAO. They should have known years ago that it's always been about calorie shortage!. As far as appetite suppression, of course protein makes you feel fuller! OMG,, it takes longer to break protein down so it sits in your stomach longer and so you feel fuller longer. Anyone whos ever ate a big steak knows it takes a long time to digest! Common sense

@AppleSouffle women abuse men more :(
Okay, further studies have been done now! and the jury is in: Low-carb is good for us. Animal fats do not cause high serum cholestrol, rather, LDL is raised as part of an immune response to inflammation (due to glycation of arterial walls [from elevated blood glucose.]) The danger of high cholesterol lies not in the cholesterol itself, but rather in the root disorders which cause cholesterol to rise. Triglycerides are key. Low -carb is therapeutic.
