Yes, but eating a pound of bacon every morning is linked to those diseases, too. Why is everyone here assuming I'm for a high-carb diet? This is hilarious!
Actually I don't think that you're for a high-carb diet. But anyone who thinks that Atkins pushes a pound of bacon every morning isn't familiar with the program. It actually discourages processed meats for any length of time.
I had to be on some medication several years back and porked on some pounds. After I got off of it I tried losing it the "sensible" way and it wouldn't come off. I tried the Atkins diet and lost it easily in about 10 weeks. The weight never came back either -- every time I see my self gaining an extra couple of pounds I back off the carbs for 3 or 4 days and concentrate on meat, cheese and eggs. That and I always drink 2 liters of water a day. I'm a convert.
Works for me and no one else has to try it. If you wanna' do the Twizzler and Mountain Dew diet (just playin' with you!) then go for it!
Not hardly. First off, where does Atkins ever advocate eating a pound of bacon? Not only that, you are dead wrong about nitrate free bacon causing any of those diseases. [Atkins bans any processed meats with nitrates in them]
