Dear Dr. Atkins: Shut up.

I think I saw that picture on Yahoo the other day, that's just insane!

That even trumps Fatburger, the place where accessories for your burger include fried eggs and ranch dressing. I go there about once a year.
 
When are people gonna learn that the best way to lose weight is to lay off the cokes and candy bars and sugars, and get off their collective asses and go outside and work in the yard or go running or ride a bike? Duhhhhhhhh.........
 
Fuck the low carb diet. I am sick of hearing about it.

I lost 85 lbs recently, and watched what I ate, and started working out. Ill admit not so much lately, so I am stuck on the same weight. But I dont think less carbs would help, just start working out more, and getting off my lazy ass...

working out does help, people. you have to have some sort of carbs for energy! Im not gonna die from DIEting.

Plus I just quit smoking after 16 years. Heres hoping no weight comes back!

Evil C.
 
it's the shitload of processed food we eat in America that is bad and makes us fat.
if you have ever been to Europe you will know that they love to eat as much as us, if not more. But they seem to eat more natural foods, rather than McD and fast food crap.

up until 4 years ago I could not get passed the 200 lb. mark (i'm 6'7") .. then worked in a hotel for a year where I proceeded to consume really fatenning food for breakfast and lunch every day. That and coupled with the fact that I quit smoking ... and now I am up to 260 lbs !!!!

I need to drop at least 30 lbs.
 
It's like people want to lose weight without exerting any energy. Ain't gonna happen! Flipping through the channels with a remote control ain't gonna help you lose weight! Fucking lazy bastards Americans are.
 
Yeah I need to drop about 20 lbs., I know all it requires is stop drinking so much beer and start exercising more. Still too lazy though. :D
 
I'd like to drop about 20lbs myself to get back to 200lbs. But I ain't one of these idiots that thinks some magic pill will soon be invented that will eat all my fat cells.
 
Dr. Atkins is my personal lord and saviour. I've lost 50 pounds in 6 months on his plan.

But low-carbers must be wary of the onslaught of low-carb versions of high-carb foods. All the low-carb chocolate, pasta, bread, etc that's coming out now is a good way to derail your diet, in my opinion.

Words of wisdom...I'm convinced that the current diet trends are the result of people who want to avoid guilt about their eating habits and avoid any sort of weight loss plan that would actually pry them away from the couch for a few hours.
 
ProgMetalFan is amazing. Papa Josh is not. I fucking loathe all the "H(#H(¤"(#"/)=(#"#AUEHHASHDAHHAH ATKINS FUKCEN DIED OF HERAT ATTACSK COZ HE WAS FAT" stuff. It is completely untrue and tasteless.

Don't fucking know and I don't fucking care. I was joking around, all I know is I've heard that from numerous people.

And you're right, I'm not amazing, but my bowel movements are. I am fucking stupendous!

Atkins died from slipping and falling on an icy sidewalk.

After having a heart attack ;) Weren't you around when his autopsy report was leaked? Or did that not make it over there? The reason he fell was due to his continuing heart problems following his numerous heart attacks - it is thought he had another one while walking and fell as a result. No ice was mentioned in the reports here. He also died morbidly obese...

That said, I haven't got anything against the Atkins diet personally. I believe that it may well be a very good weight loss diet, but that doesn't make it healthy in the slightest. Even the "low fat" versions are likely to cause more harm than good, as far as I'm concerned. But if people want to follow it then good for them, I hope it works out. I am of the opinion that having a healthy diet and doing exercise - like many other people here - is by far the best way to lose weight.
 
Its good to read that so many people on this board are living the American dream- to become obese. That being said, alot of it has to do with metabolism. I can eat like a goddamn pig ( and I do) and not really gain much weight, as I lift weights, and I have naturally high metabolism. I have friends that can eat shit all day, every day of the year, and not gain weight. Yet there are people with low metabolism who cannot afford to eat like the average American- and must exercise as well.

As for the Atkins thing, it looks like a bodybuilders diet a month before they oil themselves up for their big competition. The difference is, these guys go back to eating healthy slow burning carbs after the competition. No carbs is unhealthy for the body and the brain, i think if one has too few carbs for too long one goes into a state of Ketosis.

Ya, that is what makes you lose weight. I have been bodybuilding all my life and have done immense amounts of research on all of this shit but am way too fucking lazy to reply with anything worthwhile right now. I just woke up.

I haven't done a Ketogenic Diet in about 2 years.
