Re: A Weighty Subject.
Azz, If I remember correctly, it was pretty near spot on the diet that you suggest, with restricted carbs. I followed the original 1972 diet, it's been messed about with since. Gary Taubes suggests much the same sort of diet now. His latest book, 'Why do we get fat' is an interesting read.Re: A Weighty Subject.
If you want a good healthy diet to follow the "Glycemic Index Diet" or better known as the G.I. Diet. It's not as drastic as the Atkins Diet. You can find lots of information about it on the web. Not unlike what Azz is suggesting but the G.I. list will give you the facts and figures on various foods and there recommendations.Re: A Weighty Subject.
I don't know too much about the Atkins diet - but as far as I know it encourages or allows processed grains and sugars so long as they are low-carb - as low-carb is the priority.Re: A Weighty Subject.
Atkins is unhealthy and virtually cuts out all carbs. which causes a build up of ketones in the blood which in turn has unpleasant side effects like bad breath dizziness nausea constipation and so on. Anyone on Akins Diet shouldn't stay on it for long term. I personally wouldn't go on it at all.Re: A Weighty Subject.
The original 1972 Atkins has been adulterated by the money men - who followed Dr Atkins himself. The '72 did cut out many carbs including grains & sugars but allowed salad & green veg' grown above ground. Potatoes for example is a high sugar carb so a no no.Re: A Weighty Subject.
