Plan: common sense low carb
Stats: 221/190/175 Male 6 feet
BF:27/13/10??
Progress: 67%
Location: New York City

this where he lost me:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Millions
have tried the Atkins plan. And many millions have
failed to lose weight or to lose as much weight as
they've wanted. What's the main complaint? They all say
it: it's the Plateau in losing weight where weight loss
simply ceases. No matter how much they cut their carbs,
no matter how much they try to stay in ketosis (Atkins'
magic land of weight loss success), they can't do it.
Ketosis also stops, along with the weight loss,
somewhere around weeks 3-5 of the plan.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


isnt it true that everyone on any kind of diet goes through plateaus? And isn't it true that if you stick with the lo-carb plan, that MOST people eventually come out of their plateau? So, this guy is bascially LYING, isn't he? Or he is simply misinformed, at best.

And a blowhard too! I just skimmed the rest, to discover he is trying to sell something. I suspected as much when he kept referring to DIET COMPOSITION repeatedly and out of context...

I also like how he tries to keep an objective, scientific tone, but seems to slip here and there. That "rats off the sinking ship" bit was a clinker!
