They just don't GET IT!!!
I found this on the front page of my MSN home page this morning--Why are they always picking on Dr Atkins. I s it because they don't understand or are they jealous they didn't think of this WOE first??
Nutritionists and registered dieticians recommend against high-protein, low-carbohydrate diets like the Atkins program for many reasons. They tend to be high in fat and low in fiber and do not offer the five servings of fruits and vegetables currently recommended by the National Cancer Institute to ward off cancer. High-protein diets also set up metabolic ketosis; a harmful, unnatural state in which the body lacks insulin and must burn fat for energy. This condition can cause nausea, vomiting and stomach pain. In addition, these diets do not teach healthful, balanced eating habits that can be sustained over the long-term. That's the reason so many people gain back any weight they lose once they stop such strict diet programs.
I have not had any of these conditions, my conditions are feeling great , having more energy, and being more in controll of my life nad eating habits!!
