 Re: Atkins is magic : but is it for everyone? | |
My opinion on the naysayers is that I will bet the majority did not read the book and believe the hype that you eat no carbs or all the fat you WANT versus need. Or if they did they didn't follow it as written. Spend some time answering the newbies and you will come across many posts of "I don't understand why I am not losing weight when I have followed induction strict and am eating hardly any carbs. Or they are not eating their 3 cups of veggies. Or they are eating the Atkins frankenfoods or low carb tortillas or nuts...etc...etc..etc. Or they haven't got the book. Throw those into the mix and it really affects the results of the theory...or I guess...it would prove that those with type O also don't always do well on this diet...or to be more specific..what they think Atkins is.
BTW...there is a diet out there that dictates what diet you should be on according to your blood type.
