Another article discussing studies done on the diet shows that 95% of diabetics on the ketosis diet can reduce or even eliminate their diabetes medication.  Also, "they said that the ketogenic group enjoyed lowered A1cs, greater weight loss, and a larger increase in "good" cholesterol compared to the low-glycemic group."

And here's another one: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15148063

--- Quote ---CONCLUSIONS:
Compared with a low-fat diet, a low-carbohydrate diet program had better participant retention and greater weight loss. During active weight loss, serum triglyceride levels decreased more and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level increased more with the low-carbohydrate diet than with the low-fat diet.

In short, Ketosis diet lowers the bad cholesterol, better regulates your insulin, and increases the good cholesterol.

xiaou2, who are you arguing with? who cares about the fat little girl? didnt you sell the mom the snack for the girl? dont you reserve the right to refuse service to any customer? You are part of the problem.

 My job was to sell Ice Cream and Yogurt.   I had no authority to tell someone they couldn't eat the 28oz take-home container in one setting.   But I WAS offended, and Really wanted to tell the mother off.   I wasn't however, going to lose my job over it.

 The argument here isnt about distribution.  Its about stupidity and ignorance:

 REALLY?!!!?!!!    Come on man, get Real.    A LUMP of FAT, is supposed to be better for you than a bowl of fruit?!   Your OUT OF YOUR MIND!

 1oz of Cream Cheese:

 83 Calories.   (72 calories from FAT)
 Cholesterol = 216mg  (71%  !!!!!!!!)
 Total Fat = 8 grams    (12%)
 Sat Fat = 5 grams      (25%!!! )
 Carbs = 1g  (from sugar)
 
 Now, a single OZ of cream cheeze, is probably like 2 crackers worth of topping.  Im guessing you eat way more than that.
Your probably eating a 4oz glob of it, and getting 100% maximum DV of Saturated fat in one setting,  and a heart seizing 284% of Cholesterol   !!!)

 
 1oz  Raw Carrot

 Calories = 11
 Fat = 0g
 Carbs = 3g   (Fiber =   2g,  Sugar = 1g)
  Vit.A = 94%,   Vit.C=3%,   Calcium 1%

 
 1oz  Raw Strawberries

 Calories = 9
 Fat = 0g
 Carbs = 2g   (Fiber =   1g,  Sugar = 1g)
 Vit.C=27%,   Calcium 1%

 (there are far more vitamins actually.  You can see the complete list here:  http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/fruits-and-fruit-juices/2064/2)


 Sorry, but you are not going to tell me that eating Cream Cheese is Healthier than some sugars.  Especially if that Sugar is balanced with nutrients, and fiber, which the body needs.   And that the Cholesterol and high fat content, are somehow better for you, than the natural sugar, and natural carbs.    Sorry.. but again, your understanding of Health and Weight Loss is wrong.

 All your bragging is pathetic.   You will go off Atkins, and gain all your mass back again... just like the last time.   And in the process... you are clogging up all your arteries, and doing irreparable health damages in the process.   Your starving the body of its proper nutrients... and so damages will not be repaired.  Cells overall health will eventually decline, and could turn serious.   You will thus then look and feel much older, due to accelerated aging from the nutrient starvation damages.

 You need to learn common sense.  Read up on the actual nutritional values and compare them to realistic serving sizes.  Read up on the dangers of Saturated Fats, Man Made fats/oils.

 Learn that some carbs and sugars, are well more beneficial, than high-fat foods.

 One has to wonder... if what you really like, is the Attention that rapid loss gives you.
Or the Attention, on the forums.  And or maybe you like to think your some kind of rebel..  Ticking people off
and or getting a rise out of them,  to try to get a rise out of yourself.

 I could care less about your recklessness... but I dont think such reckless and ignorant things, should be
promoted to others.

I think you are doing pretty good on the attention front.  I'm counting carbs, so fruit is a no no.  Carrots is full of sugar.  You need to subtract the fibre too as I am counting net carbs.

Getting a rise?  Only from the non believers.  Even the doc has seen the improvements.

Regardless what you think I lost another 2 lbs today. :woot

I instantly distrust any notion of a diet where fruits and vegetables are a no-no.

Fruits are a no-no, but vegetables are a highly encouraged in the diet, you just can't eat the high carb vegetables.

ChadTower:



That's just a foolish idea.  Fruits and vegetables have been a large part of the human diet for thousands of years.  I will not accept the notion that all of a sudden, in this fast food driven generation, it's the real food that is the problem.  Obesity was never a problem until recently.  Fast food didn't exist until recently.  This is not a coincedence.


This generation mostly sits all day.  Every prior generation did mostly physical labor of one sort or another.  The calorie burn of every person now is completely different and yet portions continue to get bigger and food continues to come more processed and with more fat/salt.  Make people work less and have them eat more and you end up with fat people.


Why is that so hard to accept?
