low carb/atkins diet
 

maybe im the only one, but im sick and ------- tired of hearing about this stupid ------- diet. everybody is talking about it, all the fast food guys are advertising new "low carb" ---- on tv, i see it displayed in grocery stores, and its getting out of hand. im sorry, but how the hell does a person just not eat carbohydrates... that ---- just isn't natural. as far as the "rapid" weight loss, its mostly all water weight you are losing... youre still just as fat, but you weigh less because you are dehydrated(water weighs alot). i also hear that on the diet you are always tired(no carbs=no energy), constipated, and have bad breath. not only that, but that ---- cant be good for your long term health. our bodies were not designed to process that much protein. also, it sounds to me that a person on this diet would increase their likelyness of becoming diabetic because you are ------- with your sugar levels to the extreme.

sorry for the long rant. i personally am not overweight but i keep hearing overweight friends/coworkers/tv/whoever talking about this ---- like its the best thing ever. only a couple of them actually took the time to find out the negative effects on the body that most people dont talk about. whatever happened to eating right and exercising?

Re:low carb/atkins diet
 

i did it for 2 weeks and lost 15 pounds...

NO negitive effects on my body...

Re:low carb/atkins diet
 

Read abotu the diet before you jump to conclusions. You hear abotu it becouse it works. and im happy for you for not being overweight.

Re:low carb/atkins diet
 

Anybody who stays on this diet will die. You can't eat nothing but fats and think its good for you. To starve your body of sugars is not good. This diet was created because fat people do not want to stop eating fat. Because of this diet a bucket of KFC chicken is now advertised as HEALTHY. Nothing like a bucket of artery clogging ---- to be considered health food.


This is off topic but one guy ate nothing but McDonalds foods for a month. He was a perfectly healthy guy who exercised regulary. 3 weeks into the experiment he was 30 pounds overweight and on the verge of liver failure. Doctors pleaded with him to stop. He made an independent film about it.

Re:low carb/atkins diet
 

Yeah I agree low carb/atkins diet fads are ---- and I would stay away from them. The goal is to lose body fat ...not weight. Go to www.bodybuilding.com if you want to get more info about anything having to do with working out, losing weight, diets, etc... it's great site. :)

Re:low carb/atkins diet
 

Yeah if you want to lose weight read mens health magazine or take tips from bodybuilders or a personal trainer at the gym. Eat a well balanced meal and excercise and you will do fine.

Re:low carb/atkins diet
 

I guess people dont read books.. well you can add carbs back in after the first 2 weeks. the first 2 weeks get the body to change the way it works, instead of storeing carbs it get it to use them while adding carbs to keep the neergy level high. I will be doing this diet, if i keep the way i eat now ill die just as fast as anyhting else. im 250 Lb now, i want to be 200. as soon as im 200 ill be happy.

Re:low carb/atkins diet
 

I am a Big Irish kid 6'2" 250lbs Im also a Chef. The atkins diet like all diets will fade out someday. The two real problem's with the atkins diet is that for one that your body needs carbs. end of discussion. And two as soon as you loose all that wieght if you even break for one day and eat carbs again your fucked. this diet tricks the body. If you really want to loose weight....Smoke Butts, Drink Beer,and do lots of drugs. The pounds will shed right off. Anyway how can any diet be good when you can't have Beer, Potato's, Bread, Pasta. What the ---- else is there Whats next no more red meat. I'd go crazy.

Re:low carb/atkins diet
 

exactly right, and it does work.

carbs is what your body uses for energy when it has them avail. when you stop eating carbs it teaches your body to use fats as energy. after a couple weeks your start to eat carbs again, and your body will still like to use fat as energy.

Re:low carb/atkins diet
 

diets are temporary unhealthy and dont work only a lifestyle and eating habit change can make you healthy and fit

Re:low carb/atkins diet
 

the diet will help me get a baceline and will help with the diet/health change so i can change my lifestyle.

Re:low carb/atkins diet
 

Just eat healthy, well balanced meals and exercise. I did that and I was in the best shape until I stopped caring, now I'm not in bad shape but I'm just not lean like I used to be. Don't do any of this atkins no carb bullshit.

Re:low carb/atkins diet
 

not all of us have the time to exersize. being in IT i stil on my ass most of the day. nothing i can do about it.

Re:low carb/atkins diet
 

as soon as you get off of this no-carb fetish you balloon up again and you're like "----, I'm fat".

there's always time for excercise. cut maybe an hour off of the 9 hours per day you and all of us spend on hmt and use that hour for excercise.

Re:low carb/atkins diet
 

i havent ganed anything back.

and i exercise more than anyone here i garentee that

Re:low carb/atkins diet
 

you're probably just special. I like to run from authority figures weekly, but you probably out do me there

Re:low carb/atkins diet
 

first of all its ok for short term....diets are bullshit. just eat a balanced diet with a good carb to protein ratio and ur set. nothing is a replacement for exercise.

if you wanna get crazy try some clenbuterol cycled with winstrol injected every other day...ehheeh

those ephedra free supplements suck ass they dot work . also www. cheapsupplements.com still sells affordable ephedra until april 17th. buy it up cause once its illegal youll sell it for twice what u bought it for

Re:low carb/atkins diet

Re:low carb/atkins diet
 

lol hahah that doesn't mean im a drug dealer that was a good one though. we got jokes. I know your not a drug dealer im just playing with you. Oh i heard taking roids makes your tool small. So im going to call you pencil dick for now on lol

Re:low carb/atkins diet
 

hahaha...yeah, i know what you mean. when i was working as a network tech for a year, i gained like 10lbs. i was a bony ass little underweight ---- so it actually did me some good though...lol. but yeah you are right, my coworkers, my boss, and dudes from other companies that i met were almost all overweight. the funny thing is that all the "attic rats"(what we called dudes who pulled cable for us) were all skinny as hell from roasting in the attics during the summer here. actually, thats how i originally noticed the diet before it got big because all my coworkers were on it.

oh yeah, sorry if i offended anyone, but i really think this diet isn't safe longterm. i guess we are all entitled to our own opinions though...

Re:low carb/atkins diet

Go play on the freeway. ::)

Re:low carb/atkins diet
 

I have been on and off it for a while. I dropped about 20lbs in 4-5 months on it. I thought it was going to be bullshit too until I read about it. They are not saying you can't eat carbs (although you are greatly restricted for the first 2 weeks). It is all about controlling your blood sugar and forcing your body to use something other than only carbs for energy. Only the refined sugars and carbs are what you are strictly not allowed to eat. Towards the time I was at the end of the diet (it was for my wedding) I was up to about 60 grams of carbs a day, which is actually alot if you eat good carbs. However, the way most people think about it is "thats only two cokes". Also, I come from a long line of family that has had diabetes, and Atkins does help in that respect because it keeps your blood sugar from going through all of those paeks and valleys. Just my .02

Re:low carb/atkins diet
 

those of you who have not read up on it and only think that you "just stop eating carbs and that's it", you're all wrong, it's not just a short term diet, it's a lifestyle that you have to stick with forever in order to keep the results/success. it's not for everyone, i started it a while ago when i was being lazy and started gaining weight, for the first two weeks, you take in 30g of carbs at the most, then, you slowly up it every week until you see the weight loss almost stop, then you find out how many g's of carbs you can take in and maintain the same weight. i don't need to be on it any more since i've started lifting again, but i got so use to it that i still don't eat bread, pasta, or starches, i don't count carbs in other foods, but i still don't eat the "main carb foods". you will have plenty of energy, if you took in no carbs at all (almost impossible unless you don't eat anything at all) for a while then you might have health issues, but the average american takes in way more than they need anyways, so this diet basically eliminates the extra carbs and allows you find out your ideal carb intake. it's a good diet for people with big appetites because you don't have to go around starving just lose some weight :P

by the way, you're all fat!

Re:low carb/atkins diet
 

Thats why I chose it. The thing I found too, was that after a while I wasnt hungry all the time like I was when I was eating a bunch of carbs. The first few weeks suck though. Its like going through detox.

Re:low carb/atkins diet
 

this is true...
as a matter of fact, i eat more carbs now than i ever did. its just that they are fiberous (sp) ... vegitables and what not... and i have NO probelms with shitting :)
nor do i have problems lifting 4 days a week, and running 5.

my only problem is beer :) that low carb ---- sucks

Re:low carb/atkins diet
 

ya low carb beer tastes like ass, thats why i do diet coke and rum and tequila shots.
