Since F.R.A.C. (FR Atkins Cult) has already issued a fatwah against me, I have nothing to fear by posting this - so stop gnawin' on that lb. of butter and come out a-swinging!

Awright now I'm totally confused. Which is it, y'all-- is the Atkins diet or is not the Atkins diet effective???
I don't really give a hoot one way or t'other, I just wanno know. I do know that I personally have got to carb up or I won't have nothin' to run on...

Atkins works for me. Your mileage may vary. Enough said.
By the way, when did Reason become a magazine of nutritional science?

I love meat. I love eating it. I am about to go and eat some right now.
When I eat carbs I get very sleepy and drowsy, I hate the way they make me feel.
I feel much better and much more alert when avoiding carbs.
I love the sound of a ribeye sizzling. It's music to my ears.

I've lost 40 lbs on Atkins. I've never tried losing weight before, but if anyone were to ask, I'd recommend it. BTW, isn't Fumento the idiot who claims AIDS is caused by AZT?

If you were fat, and you avoided the carbs, your body would burn the fat!

If you're not looking for instant results, just cut out the carbs. Chances are you don't need all the carbs you're eating anyway.
I'm losing weight by eliminating carbs as much as I can and substituting proteins without regard to the fats involved. It's not Atkin's per se...but I'm losing the weight I want to loose. And I'm series.

Carnivore bump.

By the way, when did Reason become a magazine of nutritional science? If I'm not mistaken, it was at about the same time that the New England Journal of Medicine became the premier authority on gun control.

Lift weights.
To: Jael
I believe in a balanced diet. A big ribeye, and a pile of steak fries. :)

The man has a very solid track record for exposing (mostly lefty) frauds. Check out some of his columns.
To: Senator Pardek
LOL!

If anyone bothers to actually read Dr. Atkins book they might find that he basically recommends people to eat smaller portions and exercise. What's wrong with that?
The Atkins diet is only intended to help you get that weight off, keeping it off is your responsibility. I personally lost 70 lbs in six months three years ago while lowering my cholesterol and blood sugar level as well. Thanks to Dr. Atkins for his fine work. It certainly helped set me in the right direction.

I like my brisket with a side order of brisket.
To: larryjohnson
Lift weights.SSSHHHH!!! Claiming that exercise is the only healthful, long-term way to lose weight is forbidden at this site.
To: Buckhead
The only point made which has any validity is the drop out rate. Which was significant, and therefore might invalidate the success rate, since as he points out, those for which it was not working have self-selected themselves out of the final tally due to their frustration and lack of success.
That's a serious question in the study.
