Tems and Baconbabe (Baconbabe? What an awful sounding name),
Good eye Tems, yes I'm a writer.
And as a writer my job is to research. If you truly believe high fat diets are good for your heart, call the Heart Association and try convincing them. Are you really going to believe that steak and eggs and cheese are better for your health than fruit and vegetables (all of them) and complex carbs? Do you know what they inject into meat these days? Yuck. Your stool, if anything, should give you an idea of just how healthy long term fat diets are.
Tell me please what Atkins had if not a heart attack. It was a bypass, my dears, and of course his public relations experts are going to tell you it was nothing to do with diet. That's what they're paid to say.
It seems to me that Atkins is for lazy people who want an easy way out, by eating all they want and gorging. The right way to go, of course, is calorie moderation and excercise, not restriction of any certain type of food.
Ketosis is not a healthy state of being, thus the headaches and fogginess, and vitamin supplements that are necessary because the food the diet allows is so lacking in them. Ketosis is fooling your body into starvation, and fooling your body is bad move because your body is smarter than you think, and it will jump back after it realizes what you've done. I'll take 2 to 1 odds you gain all your weight back and more within a year, and two years if you've got the discipline of a priest. Oops, I forgot, even priests are slacking a bit these days, no?
Anyway fatsos, I didn't come on the board to change anyone's mind or beat up on their beliefs. I just thought I'd share the facts about high fat diets and their inconsistencies.
