I posted in the same sense. Nothing more or less.
It was absolutely non-adversarial. Then some moron jumps on my case saying he doesn't need anybody making his choices for him. Right! Like the choice to get fat in the first place.
And it seems they put a burr under your saddle too.
You posted that Atkins was dangerous due to renal failures and the cholesterol issues. I posted back concerning how the studies were flawed and follow-up studies didn't support the conclusions.
You then wrote some anecdotal thing concerning your wife and nameless doctors. I counter with the millions of Atkins dieters (also anecdotally) that swear by it.
It's all about consumption vs. expenditure. It's that simple.
No-one has said any different. Many over-weight but otherwise healthy people find it easier to reduce calorie consumption by eating more fat calories and fewer carbohydrate calories.
Yes, that's possible. I suppose you have no buttons to be pushed.
The catalyst by the poster was his unjustified attack. He's defensive about being fat. Don't attack me. He should blame himself. It's nothing but laziness.
The guy in the article eats ~ 10,000 calories a day and whines about being fat. Give me a break.
Another poster on the thread said not to factor exercise into the equation, because fat people will never lose weight. What the.............??!!
Don't ask them to exercise? What is it those people want? For somebody to do the work for them? Just don't eat! It isn't that complicated.
