John Tesh Trashing On 'The New Atkins For A New You' Book

On March 23, 2010, nationally-syndicated radio host John Tesh gave an on-air review of the latest low-carb book called THE NEW ATKINS FOR A NEW YOU by three highly-respected low-carb researchers named Dr. Eric Westman, Dr. Jeff Volek, and Dr. Stephen Phinney. Tesh was highly critical of this new version of the Atkins diet because he claims it is unhealthy and a "fad" since it allows for fat to be present in the diet and very few grains or starchy legumes.

Popular http://www.livinlavidalowcarb.com/blog blogger Jimmy Moore answers these false claims against the new Atkins diet with factual, reasoned responses to each of these allegations made by Tesh, a self-admitted fan of the Mediterranean diet. What John Tesh fails to realize is that we are all different and that various approaches work for individuals and it's up to them to find what will work for their body to make them healthy and fit. And, for some, that will include the new Atkins diet.

I know that a lot of people loves the Atkins diet. For everyone that's coming against what John Tesh is saying, do you care to share how many carbohydrates you eat a day. Another thing, if you have lost the weight how much have you lost and how much of the weight have you gain back and why did you gain the way back, if the Atkins diet is the way of life.

[livinlowcarbman]

@Archieve00 These same questions could be asked of ANY dieter.

[Archieve00]

@livinlowcarbman I'm asking the low carb dieters on here.

[livinlowcarbman]

@Archieve00 Sure, but the point is your questions apply no matter what your chosen nutritional plan is.

[knarfster]

People listen to John Tesh?

[livinlowcarbman]

@knarfster Sadly, yes.

Oh, I forgot to check with John Tesh 6 years ago when I started Atkins. My bad... Next time I need to lost 211 pounds, I will make sure I check with his "expert" sources.

hmm,,you mean to tell me you guys been lieN to me? LOL,, low carb lifestyle rocks man!! I have ZERO food cravings on low carb, and force myself to eat, and i have no reason to lie. Some days MIGHT throw a craving on me, but all in all those days are far, and very few in between. I support healthy low carb, it works like nothing else I have ever tried. I feel those reports are MORE main stream media LIES! ROCK ON LOW CARBERS!!

He's a vegetarian real shocker.

I prefer to take my dietary advice from Yanni.

.........I also eat high-fruit 80/10/10. So do I and everyone at 30bananas-a-day. We are thin and healthy.

The author of the book 80/10/10 has been on a fruit and veg diet for 30 years. How many guru's can say they've done their diet for 30 years? ( and he's not about to "slip in the shower") - See Dr. Graham's fitness stunts (and lectures)

[Gary1111001]

@alphacause How about DR. Atkins?  Everything you said could be used against your beleifs. Low carbs books are FULL of faulty science, but mostly half-truths such as:

focusing on northern climates to justify a low-fruit, high-fat diet. We're not descended from the cave man who went extinct, likely from the harsh (un-natural) conditions living out of their

indigenous region (THE TROPICS).

Our primate relatives eat high-fruit 80/10/10.

cont......

[Gary1111001]

@alphacause But isn't that what low-carb dieters say too?

It's not stupid. It's actually proof that it works(and 1 billion chinese are thin high-carb eaters). What's stupid is using as an excuse "we're different". NO we're not. We are humans(primates, frugivores)

People who eat a high-fruit diet are thin AND fit AND healthy: see "Dr grahams fitness stunts". He's been on his diet for 30 years. How many of you can say that? ? ?

[Challenge9000]

Well that was good for a laugh. Everything Tesh said was horseshit lol.

[AmyRoseXOXOXO]

What an idiot. Weigh yourself once a day??He's also saying watch your calories?Good thing we don't have to do that on low carb. Better to eat processed low fat foods and watch your calories, than eat whole fresh delicious foods. Whatever John Tesh!

[alphacause]

John Tesh's final "argument" is the worst one in the diet world. He concludes by promoting the low calorie/low fat diet by justifying by saying that it "worked for him". Let us see how silly this is. I wear a size 9 and half shoe. So Mr. Tesh since that shoe size "works for me", shouldn't it also work for you? Of course not. That is silly because Mr. Tesh is over 6 ft tall, and probably has a bigger foot as a result. See how stupid it is to say that one size or one diet fits all.
