    Term Paper on the Science behind Atkins

    My biology class this term is going to require a paper on anything in the science world of my choosing. I'm seriously considering researching ketosis/lipolysis in the context of how the body fuels itself and the various sources of energy. What do you guys think?

    I think it would be a great exercise not only for your class, but for you personally Samantha! It will definitely give you ammunition for when you get blasted for doing Atkins.

        DEFINATELY an excellent topic, and plenty of people could also benefit learning the facts, lest they end up yo-yoing and overweight later. Knowledge IS power!!

                that will be great research for you personally. All the info you need is out there from the actual science of how Atkins does not violate the second law of thermodynamics to the appetite suppression to the lean tissue sparing effects to the need for extra water. If you find stuff thea says it ain't so keep checking the actual dates of publish as the reasons info is old forgotten and then new within the last 4 yrs.
