Anyone doing any diet not low carb?
| Thu, 02-12-2004 - 7:06pm |
Hey All:) I just had a quick question... Is anyone doing any kind of diet that is not low carb, or maybe one that is low carb but not as strict as the Atkins??? If so, which one and how is it going? Looking for something other than a really strict low carb diet! Thanks in advance:)
Smiles,
Mindy

You ask, how will it kill you? Well....maybe you'll die crossing the street, who knows how you or anyone will die. BUT the Atkins diet can lead to death, the same way it led to Atkins death.....haven't you heard that clogged arteries, increased risk of heart disease and diabetes (and others) CAUSED BY increased consumption of fat can kill? That's how it's done, milady. And if you are a lady....female...then you should know that those levels of protein on Atkins can lead to leaching calcium...bone disease. It's a ridiculous way to live....but as we see with Atkins, a guaranteed way not to live too long. Excess fat shortens life. If you want more information on HOW, take a nutrition class.
The report--and to refresh your memory, I HAVE read it--says absolutely nothing about his diet. NOTHING. Your speculation that his diet had anything to do with his death is nothing more than that--speculation.
Again, anyone is free to look at the report, which is available at http://www.thesmokinggun.com. Do a search for Atkins and it will be the at the top of the results list.

My father survived CHF this summer but get this no high blood pressure, no cholestral levels that weren't natural and normal, no extra poundage and no clogged arteries at all.
My dad went through a double bypass and replacement of his arota valve and arota. Why, because he was and I was born with a birth defect that causes the heart to die.
Is it just possible that Atkins had a bad heart naturally that wasn't due to how he ate or how "big" he was?? HMMM a new twist on a very old argument.
I think you should consider CAREFULLY before you go the low carb route. It's a fad, and as otehrs have pointed out, the autopsy results from Dr. Atkins death (reported last week in a variety of sources including Today Show, Nightly News, and Wall Street Journal) show that Atkins diet really killed him, causing fat around his vital organs and numerous heart attacks. Those low carb diets are very dangerous fads, and just like all the fads before them, use at your own risk. Why not just eat sensibly from a range of foods and exercise a bit. It works, and you don't risk your life going the sensible route.
