The Battle of the Diets: Is Anyone Winning (At Losing?)

Genuinely impressive lecture

the case for soup and volumetrics was fascinating! People in eastern europe (i.e. Poland) eat soup every day... no wonder they are so thin!

The reasoning behind moving up the carb ladder are specious at best.

Of course. I've been on a controlled low- carb, high animal protein diet since 19 years..Practically never sick, very little to no aggressive mood swings. Gained 19 lbs of muscle through weight lifting. You couldn't pay me enough to get off my diet!

lol at the horrible editing at about 5:00

They show all the books and then about 3 seconds later they black them out...hahaha, whoever did that was pretty lazy!

Sounds a lot like loosing weight through self inflicted torture. I doubt such a diet can be upheld for very long nor that is very efficient as the body starts to gear down in case of starvation.

And not to mention reason for type 2 diabetes.

Interesting that low carb is supposed to be very difficult to stick to but the Atkins retention rate is the highest.

From my own experience substituting carbohydrates for fat is quite easy if you allow yourself to eat carbohydrates now and then.

My personal experience is that my mucus membranes got less infected resulting in ease of breath, I also didn't get any extreme spikes in blood pressure after a meal.

And in my opinion it tastes a lot better, fat(specially animalian fats) are much more tasty than carbohydrates which tend to get quite bland. I got a whole lot of new culinary delights introduces to me.

Oh you're right, sorry.
Seeing the word ketoacidocis and atkins diet in one paragraph triggers something in me ;)
