BBC Story about Low Carb Dieting – Part 2
Listen to the Lowcarbshow.com weekly podcast podcast.com At lowcarbshow.com our goal is to offer good information to help you lose weight! Vincent Vegan and Marc Sage offer a weekly podcast discussing all of the ongoing things in the diet and weight loss world – we focus mostly on Low Carb and Vegetarianism but we discuss everything – here is something I found on the internet that I thought you guys might enjoy! The world’s most beautiful and famous have swallowed his advice. He wrote one of the biggest selling diet books of all time, and it was based on his extraordinary belief that you could eat as much as you desire and still lose weight. His name was Dr Robert Atkins, author of the Atkins new diet revolution. To some Dr Atkins was a hero, to others his diet was scientific heresy and potentially deadly. In a series of ground breaking experiments Horizon investigates the truth behind the most controversial diet in history. Does the Atkins diet really work and is it dangerous?
This diet was great the 1st time, i went from 96kg to 80kg in 3months, then went off it and ended up 104kgs! not good, expemsive to maintain and u crave normal things like cereal and bread something chronic, but if u can manage to stay very low carb forever, this diet is perfect for keeping the gut away.
Yes, I didn’t understand the music that much either.
What stupidity. No one says you can eat limitless food. The point is to not eat carbs and sugar (carbs). Instead of burning carbs when we move around, we burn the fat. Changing your car from cheap carb gas to delicious fatty gas. Add exercise and you will have a perfect body. Atkins is a genius.
lipid -hypothesis is false, we need fat
Did Dr. Atkins amazing diet
was at 305lbs and got down to 195lbs
AND
ALL blood levels … didn’t even get into “normal” range … they got into “OPTIMAL” range
Thank you Dr. Atkins. Always remembered.
Totally correct.
Atkins was on to something though.
Good fats such as omega 3’s that come from food’s such as salmon, nuts, flax seed oils etc. Have been proven to not only be good for the brain but also help lose weight.
Combine this with fruits and veges which are high in fibre and carbs such as wild rice and green tea along with exercise you would be very healthy. People are thinking in reverse.
Eat healthy to lose weight not the other way around.
I could go on but I’m running out of words.
What is with the ’spooky’ music all through this programme? It gives it the atmosphere of a ghost story. I hate this attempt to manipulate our emotions. Just give us the facts please!
rk9295 I think your findings are correct. There is less money to be made from selling us proteins.
And don’t forget the massive profits being made from weight loss surgery, which is now being offered to just about anyone. My doc even offered it to me on the NHS!
The more research I do on my own, the more I’m convinced we were told to eat carbohydrates on purpose by the government.
Food companies make money off of us because carbs are so addicting. They knew it would fatten us up and cause health problems.
Doctor’s could then prescribe us medications that we would have to take for the rest of our lives.
Fitness companies could then make products that would claim to cure our fatness, everything from machines to protein bars.
Carbs are a scam.
The Atkins diet is working!!! I like it.
Atkins never said that calories could “go missing.” He just said that once you reorient your body to run primarily on fat instead of carbs, many of the calories pass right through you.
What’s important to remember is that Insulin regulates fat storage, not calories.
What “simple unprocessed” foods are you referring to?
No Goinglite medical conditions aside, unfortunately for the most part they don’t…
Obese people do that all the time
If your diet is High Fat (saturated fat) / Low Carb, then there’s no need to “count:” calories. You will lose weight more effectively and be in much better health.
Weston Price is a very good source
so much for having fancy papers and degrees in nutrition… it’s hard to believe that they all could be so wrong. saturated fast is supposedly so bad, yet some of the healthiest traditional societies in the world eat tons of it… the masais, the eskimos… weston price proved it all, yet no one listened. how is it fucking possible
I have combined low carb with calorie counting and lost over 68 lbs so far this year. As said before it is amazing how satisfied you feel even though you eat less calories (I actually only eat about 1/4 ofthe calories that I used to).
My hunger is much more satisfied with a low-calorie, low-carb diet than high-calories, high-carb.
wrong. i eat more calories now than ever before and keep losing weight.
You know fat is evil because they play scary music every time it’s mentioned.
People who followed a low-carbohydrate, high-protein diet lost more weight than people on a low-fat, low-cholesterol, low-calorie diet during a six-month comparison study at Duke University Medical Center. However, the researchers caution that people with medical conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure should not start the diet without close medical supervision.
Eat simple unprocessed whole foods, drink water and move your bum everyday.
