Hi Dave:
A fool you are! LOL I have no problem with you believing in a high fat, low carb diet, I find the planet overpopulated with fatso's anyway. The nutrition committee of the American Heart Association has issued a science advisory warning that high-protein diets have not been proven effective and pose health risks. The report covered the Atkins, Zone, Protein Power, Sugar Busters, and Stillman diets. The committee stated: a.. Such diets may produce short-term weight loss through dehydration. b.. Weight loss may also occur through caloric restriction resulting from the fact that the diets are relatively unpalatable. c.. The high fat content may be harmful to the cardiovascular system in the long run. d.. Any improvement in blood cholesterol levels and insulin management would be due to weight loss, not the change in composition. e.. A very high-protein diet is especially risky for patients with diabetes because it can speed the progression of diabetic kidney disease [8]. http://www.quackwatch.org/01Quackery...opics/lcd.html Bill I ate a low carb peanut butter sandwich last year and I immediately died from clogged arteries, cancer, stroke, heart attack etc., just as you said.

Being fat is being lazy and being lazy means that you are looking for a panacea.

The Bottom Line Although short-range studies have found that low-carbohydrate diets can produce weight loss, no study has demonstrated that such diets are safe or effective for long-term use [11-14,22,23]. Atkins advocated his diet for more than 30 years and stated that more than 60,000 patients treated at his center had used his diet as their primary protocol. However, he never published any study in which people who used his program were monitored over a period of several years. The recent popularity of low-carbohydrate diets has encouraged food companies to market low-carbohydrate foods for people who want to "watch their carbs." Most of these foods are much higher in fat than the foods they are designed to replace. I believe that "low-carb" advertising is encouraging both dieters and nondieters to eat high-fat foods, which is exactly the opposite of what medical and nutrition authorities have been urging for decades. Following a low-carbohydrate diet under medical supervision may make sense for some people, but a population-wide increase in fat consumption is a recipe for disaster. For Additional Information a.. American Heart Association Statement on High Protein Diets b.. atkinsfacts.org: Archive of documents about the Atkins diet Oh that;s right, you can't -- because it's purely fiction! LMAO!

(did a lot of other tilling to plant a lawn elsewhere). My desire is to plant some pretty, high fat, low carb, edible plants that are not grains. Nuts are things you could grow that contain good fats with omega-3s. Purslane, a green, is also a source of omega-3s. Sunflower oil has a pretty good fat profile (still more omega-6 than olive oil, but less than corn and soybean oil). Nuts might be the hardest thing to grow at home as you would need space and would have to fight off the squirrels. Pick a type that suits your climate (examples, hazelnuts in Oregon, pecans in Georgia, hickory nuts in Indiana). That's a foolish diet, you may lose weight for a while, but you may also die from clogged arteries, cancer, stroke, heart attack, etc., before the next year is up. The problem is the fat profile of modern domestic animals vs. the wild animals our ancestors ate. Fat from domestic animals is high in saturated acids. Fat from wild animals has plenty monosaturated fats and is high in omega-3 fatty acids. The closest we could come these days to a real 'paleo diet' would be very lean meats with plenty of olive oil and nuts plus plenty of fatty fish like salmon and sardines. (Polyunsaturated vegetable fats are high in omega-6 fatty acids, no real help.) The October issue of Discover touches on this in a feature article titled 'The Inuit Paradox.' Side comment #1: Quite alarmingly, this morning's newspaper front page warned of dioxin contamination if wild game. So even wild game isn't what it used to be. Side comment #2: I have kind of a problem with the whole low-carb thing. Limiting high-glycemic foods is sensible. Avoiding highly processed foods is sensible. Eating a lot of meat from grain-fed, confined animals and the wrong sorts of fats isn't. Someone close to me went on the original Atkins diet. He developed kidney stones and ended up not so much later with inoperable cancer. Soured me on the concept. -- Pat in Plymouth MI ('someplace.net' is comcast) Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced. (attributed to Don Marti) |

Bill, do you realize how hysterically funny your post is?!

My total cholesterol dropped from 232 to 187, blood pressure to 120/70, and tricglycerides from 635 to 217 on Atkins. Which is supposed to hurt my CV systemmo the lower blood pressure, the low ercholesterol or the lower triglycerides?? ROFLMAO! | d..

Let's see, I have to take no medication for my T2 diabetes because its';s controlled completely with my low-carb diet. My blood glucose is consistently normal. High blood sugars cause kidney disease. Guess you lose this one too! | http://www.quackwatch.org/01Quackery...opics/lcd.html You're the quack. Get educated. Oh wait. My guess is that you're either PETA or PCRM, both with a vested interest in not wanting people to eat meat. Bet that doesn't slant your point of view, does it? In a way I feel sorry for you, because you are so misinformed and stupid enough to promote the tired old Lies that no one listens to any more. Maybe you could switch careers and find some nice snake oil to sell? |-- Peter Before/Current Pix: http://users.thelink.net/marengo/wei...htlosspix.html |

Yup, bacon,eggs, cheese, steaks, and vegetables are so much more unpalatable Yeah, but geez, how much bacon and eggs and steak can you eat? At least throw some fish and chicken in there. I have red meat once a week and that's plenty fine. that dry toast and rice cakes! *wiping eyes* Stop! My sides hurt too much from laughing! Funny, but there are plenty of people from around the world that eat diets high in carbohydrates that are not fat and have high life expectancies. It's not the carbs killing you, it's the amount of calories you eat. Eat less and you lose weight. Simple equation. |
