Atkins Diet Misconceptions: Kidney Stones Inevitable?
In another of Atkins Diet Misconception series, I deal with the question of kidney stones or “does the Atkins Diet impair kidney function?” First, if you have damaged kidney function already due to Chronic Kidney Disease, Metabolic disorder, or impaired kidney function, it is recommended that you do not try the Atkins Diet. There is sizable water intake on this diet, and you should follow your doctor’s orders. For everyone else, it has been proved more than once that high protein (or medium protein in the case of Atkins) is safe for kidney function. Those that rail against it have been doctors with bias (PCRM (PETA) related doctors or have relied on bad science studies where multiple items were changed at once. Studies supporting the idea of high protein being safe for HEALTHY people’s kidneys: www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov Dietary protein intake and renal function “”While protein restriction may be appropriate for treatment of existing kidney disease, we find no significant evidence for a detrimental effect of high protein intakes on kidney function in healthy persons after centuries of a high protein Western diet. … Rather, we found that habitual consumption of a high protein diet minimally affected hydration indices. … Therefore, claims that a high protein diet promotes dehydration or adversely “strains” the kidney remain speculative.” www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov March 2000 “Do regular high protein diets have potential health risks on kidney function in athletes?” To conclude …

Atkins Diet Misconceptions: Waning popularity or passing fad?
One of the constant comments is “didn’t low carb die off in 2004?” or “didn’t Atkins Nutrition go bankrupt?” The implication is that it was obviously a fad diet, and that all wise people know better now. Besides just simply being false comments, I have been seeing more subscribers lately than ever, and my humble video and blog have been receiving more views than ever. (Here are the results from 2009 videos – www.network-admin.net There are still numerous people doing the diet and many starting on a daily basis, and while perhaps it might not be as “hip” or cool as 2004, people doing Atkins now have better access to more low carb recipes, better support sites, and better communal atmosphere than back in 2004. A lot of the naysayers criticisms have been addressed or proven false since 2004 as well.
Atkins Diet & Exercise: Endurance Athletes & Electrolytes
In this third video of my exercise series, I detail one of the more important questions to those who exercise on the Atkins Diet — how to stay hydrated while exercise. The easy answer is drink water, but on a hot day while sweating that is not always the best answer as one loses key minerals, like Sodium, Potassium, and other electrolytes. Non-low carbers have it easy as they can turn to any readily available Electrolyte replacement drink, like Gatorade or Powerade. Even those that recognize the need for protein like Accelerade, combine with 4x as much carbohydrates than protein. Here is the home-made low carb Gatorade recipe: Artificial Sweetener equivalent of 10 tbs. sugar (5/8 cups or 120 grams) 3/4ths tsp Morton Lite salt (4.2 grams) 1 package of unsweetened Koolade mix for flavor 2 liters Water Commercial Low Carb Electrolyte Replacements: Tablets: Hammer Endurolytes – www.e-caps.com Succeed!

John Tesh Trashing On ‘The New Atkins For A New You’ Book
On March 23, 2010, nationally-syndicated radio host John Tesh gave an on-air review of the latest low-carb book called THE NEW ATKINS FOR A NEW YOU by three highly-respected low-carb researchers named Dr. Eric Westman, Dr. Jeff Volek, and Dr. Stephen Phinney. Tesh was highly critical of this new version of the Atkins diet because he claims it is unhealthy and a “fad” since it allows for fat to be present in the diet and very few grains or starchy legumes. Popular www.livinlavidalowcarb.com blogger Jimmy Moore answers these false claims against the new Atkins diet with factual, reasoned responses to each of these allegations made by Tesh, a self-admitted fan of the Mediterranean diet. What John Tesh fails to realize is that we are all different and that various approaches work for individuals and it’s up to them to find what will work for their body to make them healthy and fit. And, for some, that will include the new Atkins diet. LISTEN TO JIMMY MOORE’S MARCH 2010 PODCAST INTERVIEW WITH DR.
