Net Carbs? Atkins?

Atkins is horribly bad for you! Don't follow it!

Normally weight loss causes cholesterol to fall but for about one-third of Atkins dieters, everything goes in the wrong direction, and their cholesterol levels sometimes go through the roof. They also lose calcium, as researchers have found with urine tests. Over the long run, the concern is that that could lead to osteoporosis--elevated cholesterol levels may lead you to life threatening-heart disease!

ANY DIET THAT ELIMINATES A FOOD GROUP IS UNHEALTHY! You need to eat a variety of all foods! carbs, fats, and protein!

OH, and you are not ELIMINATING carbs, you are CONTROLLING carbs.

Actually we are not really carnivores, Canines are! The human digestive anatomy is very short compared to animals whose trunks are the majority of their weight (naturally), not talking about the fat guy at chilis eating never-ending wings whose trunk is the majority of his weight also... Anyways, carnivores have long GI tracts because it takes A LOT to digest animal proteins and fat (they are very large cells)- so our livers make up for all the **** we put in our body that we are not in all but for the majority not able to Fully digest! When I have a question I teach myself, I read reliable sources and I learn! When the Funk is Fact you cant fight the Funk! I just read an article with fossil facts dating back to 8 million years ago evolutionarily speaking we like a solely plant based diet... Hasn't been happening the last forty thousand years, because of hardships, even before the myans which is humans first record of civilization and thats only 5 or so thousands of yrs ago, but none the less fact...
WATCH IT--"Forks Over Knives" is a 2011 American documentary film directed by Lee Fulkerson, an American independent filmmaker. The film examines the "profound claim that most, if not all, of the degenerative diseases that afflict us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting our present menu of animal-based and processed foods," principally by tracing the careers and research of American physician Caldwell Esselstyn and professor of nutritional biochemistry T. Colin Campbell.

Dear God, I should have guessed you were vegan/vegetarian (one part cult, one part eating disorder) from the misinformation you've been spewing. Actually we are omnivores but I guess you didn't learn that big word in your dietetics lessons. You can wish all you want that humans were actually something else but all of recorded history says otherwise. When humans have a choice they will eat plants and animals. True herbivores have a completely different digestive system than humans by the way. What on earth are they teaching you in this dietetics program you're supposedly in?

*sigh* I give up... one, I'm not vegetarian or vegan--I am a "flexatarian"--I eat chicken/fish on rare occasions and no dairy. Two, you're right, they don't teach this in standard dietetics but that doesn't make it any less true... the world is quite OBVIOUSLY not ready to accept that we can live healthily and happily off a primarily plant based diet... People who maintain a plant based diet have lower incidences of heart disease, diabetes, most cancers, have lower LDL levels and lower blood pressures--that is from a standard nutrition course!
Oh and three, I recently had all my blood work done--lipid profile, Ca++, Fe, B12, CBC, thyroid panel, etc.-- just out of curiosity to see if I was meeting my nutrient needs--and it all came back in normal ranges--proof that if you know what your are doing and eat a variety of veggies, fruits and legumes you CAN meet all your needs on a primarily plant based diet! Also I get micro-fits on a regular basis which test body fat, bicep strength, back flexibility, blood pressure, resting heart rate, and aerobic fitness--my results continuously put me in the "FIT" category--more proof that you can be perfectly healthy and fit off a primarily plant based diet! By none of this am I saying I am better or more fit than anyone (because I know there's plenty of people at higher fitness levels) I am just citing this as a personal example that the lifestyle I live is HEALTHY!

LCFL... it's probably time to give up on this one. Another person who believes that correlation implys causation, and is probably not intelligent enough to understand anyways.
