Any endorsement of the deadly Atkins Diet is indeed crazy talk.

type II is not ONLY caused by having too much body fat....let's not misinform here...it is much more complex than that. thin adults can be "type II" too.

@JubblyJack Not everyone gains weight the same true, some ppl can eat junk and not gain(for a while) especially younger ppl. As you age you need to change your diet bc your matabolism changes. If you eat properly and excercise right, you wont gain weight. If you do gain weight you need to eat better or move more.

@Morethanenough1 You may think it is good for you, it sure isn't good for the animals, all the grain they eat which could feed people, all the dung and methane gas. If that is "good" in your book, you just don't understand how much meat eating causes pollution. It is not good management of our planet.

If INFERTILITY, MINERAL DEFICIENCIES, and THYROID PROBLEMS is what you're looking to achieve, then SOY is the right food for you!!

@Morethanenough1 My diet has not changed and I am now on insulin twice a day. Since being on insulin I have gained 10kg. My daughter eats lots of junk food, never exercises and she cannot gain weight she is so thin people are shocked if she puts on swimmers. I have been trying to lose weight for 30 years, I eat healthy and exercise.

@JubblyJack If your eating healthy and exercising enough, you wouldnt gain weight.

@VegTV Atkins helps diabeties too. You are so ill informed.

It's not body fat they are talking about, it's dietary fat. Dietary fat that goes into the muscle cells, not the fat cells, where normally it is turned into glucose to be burned. However too much, and the cell gets clogged so the insulin cannot let any more sugar in. Which is why skinny people can get diabetes too.

As for being a healthy diet, it is the healthiest diet on earth. Most bodies need to get used to a change in diet so they have what is called a crisis, while getting rid of toxins.

@tdelangre Vegan can only be healthy if you eat organic and once in a week some meat (also organic) But..this way we can't call it "vegan" anymore I suppose...

I tried once the vegan diet, and ran in all kind of health problems, since I really need the complex amino acids you only find in meat. If we like it or not, the human species are really omnivores.

@turnerskelington talking about that. I am extremely skinny and borderline diabetes. The only way I can survive is to eat a few tomatoes and cucumbers/day. This Barnard guy is full of it by saying you can eat oatmeal and burritos lol yea right, lovely advice to diabetic people. Simple carbs are the worst, vegan diet is a good idea, but you have to stay away from sugars, including fructose. This means, no grains, no potatoes, no rice and so on.

Vegan diet does not mean, in any way, HEALTHY. It only means NO MEAT. All real studies on diet and health, continually repeat: Whole Grains, Fresh Vegetables especially leafy greens, beans, nuts, seeds, fruit . . . in that order. These studies have been repeated the world over and history shows its true. Want Health, Happiness, longevity, intelligence, spiritual facility? Eat according to the laws of nature. Want a roller coaster - follow fads. What'll it cost you to try for a month?
