I watched a programme a few months back that investigated the Atkins diet, they were trying to see what made it so different. There was a list of theories as to why Atkins worked.

One thing they mentioned was the theory that people on Atkins eat less calories and therefore lose weight, I can't remember how they tested it but the result was inconclusive. Some people may eat less but others actually eat more.

If I remember from my biology years the body breaks down carbs, fats and protein in a specific order, carbs are broken down first, then fat then protein. On Atkins we use up just enough carbs to get us through the day, then we start burning fat. As no carbs are being stored in the body, its only the fat that is left to go. This is why Atkins is so effective.

Having taken "research methods" back in university days, there are many things to look at when a "study" is being done. Researchers, like politicians, can have results biased either intentionally or unintentionally and with the case of researchers (and politicians too, but no one puts them into check lol ) they should be listing exactly who their subjects are that they researched. For instance, were the subjects following their identified diets correctly? etc etc,

There are so many misconceptions about the Atkins diet that people seem to be doine research with the intention of trying to prove the diet to be a false one.

Re: SHOCKING: take a look plz

I don't care about the research or the findings. All I know is, it works and it works without hunger pangs or feeling deprived. It gives me all the energy I need!!

I feel better than I have in years and people say I look 40 when I'm really gonna be 50. Nuff said!

VIVA LA ATKINS!

Re: SHOCKING: take a look plz

I agree... I don't know how or why about the research and rules etc.. but what I DO know is that .. on this plan.. I"m not hungry......

when I tried counting calories... even low fat calorie counting... I'd end up very very hungry......

I'm getting better at this every day..... so whatever it is that makes it work... I hope it keeps on working!!
