ATKINS DIET IS A CRUEL JOKE !
People are crazy enough - or deluded enough - to put their faith in that crazy Atkins diet. They actually believe that eating liberal quantities of meat, dairy, cheese, eggs and butter has no health consequences! What a convenient fantasy! Robert Atkins himself had suffered a heart attack while eating one of his artery-clogging, fat-laden breakfasts on April 25, 2002. But he and his cardiologist said it was not diet related! Atkins was also clinically obese at the time of death. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out that massive quantities of satured fat and cholesterol will eventually wreak revenge on the human body. I'd like to see a single legitimate study showing that Atkins dieters are living long and healthy lives.
Numerous studies have shown that vegetarians have much lower rates of cancer (50%) and other major diseases. And a healthy vegan has virtually no chance of getting a heart attack -
the leading cause of death in America.
Americans are so shameless in their appetites that heartburn medications are one of the leading drugs in the United States. Soon, the U.N. may have to airlift tons of Rolaids and Tums to medicate bloated and constipated Americans. An entire country has become paranoid of carbs.They're not paranoid about eating vast quantities of meat, dairy and eggs - but carbs!
Physicians' Committee for Responsible Medicine reports: "The signs are clear. Mountains of low-carb pasta are piling up in warehouses. Low-carb companies are slimming down their payrolls. And the creator of the South Beach Diet is scrambling to distance himself from the low-carb label.
The fad is going bad, according to pollsters, business analysts, and media outlets like the New York Times, which recently reported that the number of Americans following low-carb diets has dropped about 50 percent from a year ago.
As a nutritionist, I can’t pretend to be upset at seeing this boom go bust. Of the many unhealthy ways to lose weight, low-carbing is one of the worst. These high-fat, meat-heavy diets can increase the risk of heart disease, cancer, and other serious medical problems."
