- It's been in the news lately. I don't know the particulars of Atkins, but an NIH-funded study reported in the Annals of Internal Medicine last month - mara Oct 22, 07:40 5

    - Atkins is low carbs isn't it? -- nm - Beaker Oct 22, 07:43 1

  - i totally believe in the low-carb diet, but Atkins was crazy, it was 'eat another steak, dripping in butter, cardiac health be damned!" -- nm - Andie Oct 22, 07:41 1
    - *eats a triple cheeseburger with extra bacon* As long as I don't eat the bun, I'm good. -- nm - Shaun Oct 22, 07:44
- it worked for me, I'm sure its not the best diet for a person to be on, I won't ever do it again - Epiphany Oct 22, 07:36 11
  - all diets work in some form, what it does to you long term is the issue. - groiny Oct 22, 07:37 10
    - My mum used to fast on bread and water two days a week. She lost loads and looked great. -- nm - Loyola Oct 22, 07:44 8
      - She invented the 5:2 diet? -- nm - LMS Oct 22, 07:47 3
        
        That's a diet? She just fasted on Wednesdays and Fridays for religious purposes. -- nm - Loyola Oct 22, 07:50 2
        
        Yeah, except you're supposed to change the days you don't eat to keep your body guessing. It's the current fad diet here. -- nm - LMS Oct 22, 07:58 1
        
        your body absolutely adjusts to routine, it is why most diets hit a plateau and it is hard to get past it. - groiny Oct 22, 08:00
      - I am no expert, other than trying a lot of varying diets, but I know that - groiny Oct 22, 07:47 3

        right, and depriving it from one of those things for an extended period of time, has to be bad. - groiny Oct 22, 07:51 1

    - I know I need carbs to have good mental function. Loosilu swears her blood panels with cholestrol checks were great on Atkins - Epiphany Oct 22, 07:39
- as with most diets of the type it works for some people. -- nm - decline Oct 22, 07:35 2

    - Weird six-degrees: My brother met both Atkins (before he died) and his wife -- nm - decline Oct 22, 08:08
- I am sure there are boatloads. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 22, 07:34
I find this... weird but interesting. -- nm - Roo- The pumpkin queen Oct 22, 07:30 1
- Stouffer's should trumpet this research from the highest mountain. -- nm - Were-Baron Oct 22, 07:32
