Pfffff... This biatch eating her bacon cheesburgers every day may have lost 70 pounds, but she'll soon die of congestive heart failure and it will serve her right. Same goes for the rest of these lazy Atkins devotees, clogging up their arteries and their intestines and smelling of urea.

You know what, people? I eat carbs. Tons of carbs. Nearly 70% of my daily intake is made up of that bugaboo of pseudo-healthy conformity: carbohydrates. Why can I eat so many carbs? Nay, why *must* I eat so many carbs? Because I excercise. And carbs are enegry. The only time that this energy makes you fat is when you're too lazy to work the calories off. I take breaks and walk at work. And after my job, I get off of my bum and run. Excercising the body, doing what it has evolved to do: aka moving around and sweating, engaging in aeorobic activity, and living an active life keeps you healthy. Eating a fast food burger wrapped in lettuce? Now, that's not healthy; that's just frelling stupid and lazy.

Nice that you lead such a life of leisure, not all of us do. After work, I go to school and then do homework. Other people go to work and then care for their kids, and don't have the hours in the day to go running for an hour daily.

Is your advice intended to ensure that people who have less spare time than you remain fat?

Ketones are also energy, they are produced when the body burns fat. If you had one iota of intellectual curiosity instead of just three iotas of mendacity, you'd know that the body has two metabolic paths: one for glucose, one for ketones. In fact, the people for whom dietary ketosis works the best are the very people for whom a diet of 70% carbohydrate will wreck their insulin system.

Besides that, I have a hard time beleiving that eating a diet consisting of 70% bread and pasta can possibly be healthy. It's about as unnatural a diet as I cam imagine.
