No, I am not a vegetarian. I believe, and was taught by Cooper's, in a balanced diet that includes a source of carbs, protein, and fat. Basically 60/15/25. To get in shape, and remain that way, there will have to be the use of exercise. It includes aerobics, weight training (resistence), and a form of stretching called plyometrics. All lead to a well rounded exercise program. Diet by itself, will not get someone fit, just thin. This can even go far enough to cause death in extreme cases.

If you read the articles I displayed, you'll see a consistent run of medical problems from a large number of people using different "diets" geared toward protein. Stones, heart problems, kidney ailments, ketosis, and more seem to pop up with a great enough regularity that I feel where there's smoke, there could be fire. You also mentioned that aspect of energy? The man that told me about the lack of was my doctor who was on the Atkins and ran out of gas on a 5 mile run. He had to hitch a ride back. He stopped the Atkins and no longer recommended it. Protein does not supply energy.

Like I said, you do what you want to do. I wish you well. The term diet is whatever you eat over time. It can be a balanced and complete diet, or a lousy one. Your choice. You can say you haven't had any problems and that's great. Many have and they are documented through recognized medical institutions. Finally, I will say that with these documentations in mind, if someone wishes to start a change in their dietary intake, and they are shopping, I wish them luck, but I can't recommend a diet that has so much of a negative findings history. And that you can't ignore.

Contempt prior to investigation. You are hopelessly brainwashed and cannot look at the other side. I was there but saw the light. I hope you get the truth so you don't lead anyone else astray.

Good Luck

Since when is Ketosis a medical problem?
