Atkins Induction
ark_ader:
Had the doc run some tests, after you guys started me thinking about what I could be doing to myself.
I got them back the other day, and it was a clean bill of health. The doc wants me to stay on it as it has worked very well. The doc dismisses the speculation of internal damage from Atkins.
So, sorry guys. Your advice to stay away from Atkins is completely unfounded. :laugh2:
BTW I'm on Ongoing Weight Loss (OWL) which means more cauliflower and cabbage for dinner. :applaud:
Lost another 6lbs in 3 days. The flab is disappearing and the muscle is showing. :woot
All I need now is my own TV show, and a new weight loss video game for the Dreamcast and I'm set. :cheers:

Yeah the medical world is anonymous in it's support of Atkins diet:
Dangers of the Atkins Diet
--- Quote ---One pays a substantial price from such a diet which generates chronic ketosis. Besides the increased cancer risk, the kidneys are placed under increased stress and will age more rapidly. It can take many, many years for such damage to be detected by blood tests and by the time it is detected, irreversible damage might have already occurred. The blood tests that monitor kidney function do not begin to increase until more than 80% of the kidneys have been destroyed.

Anwers.com: Atkins Diet
--- Quote ---Opinion from the general medical community remains mixed on the Atkins diet, but is generally unfavorable. There have been no significant long-term scientific studies on the diet. A number of leading medical and health organizations, including the American Medical Association, American Dietetic Association (ADA), and the American Heart Association oppose it.

Lol, it's the exact opposite obviously. These doctors don't make a penny off saving you from ruining your body. They will actually make a lot of money off of you when you ruin your kidney.
On the other side, the people selling the diet of course have no vested interested in making sure the sheeple keep believing it's safe ::) They sell their products and books at cost or they give the profits to charity right?
BTW I thought only women were this illogical and susceptible to dietary fads. Nice to see feminism has come a long way.

Eh, it's not good to be obese either. If the guy loses weight and keeps it off through a reasonably balanced diet, then what's the problem? Seems like by the end of his program, his diet won't be too far off from controlled normalcy.

Atkins has come a long way from its initial inception. All of these things are missing something(s) though.
