is the Diet Dangerous?

[Jason_C]

I appreciate your help so much ! thnak you.

I think i did the diet so far instinctly correct. I remembered that i have to eat proteins and no carbs, theres nothing difficult in that.

what i did not know is that i have to try to eat fat, thats a problem because i was never a fan of fat. On meat or chicken skin its ok i have no problem to eat it, i use a bit olive oli in the salad and preparing the egs in the pan but thats it, maybe i start melting some butter on the meat.

I would like to ask you something to understand the logic of this concept please,... if the body burns fat instead of carbs, it has a limit to burn every day so if i feed the body fat, why not use the fat i fed it and use the fat of the body to burn it?

another very important question for me is, a normal person, a for his life always been thin person... the body it self, i mean.. the most common and the most normal opn this planet, IS IT MADE TO BURN CARBS AND FUNCTION? OR TO BURN FAT AND FUNCTION?

yesterday sitting on the couch after 2 weeks diet.. i was htinking.. if you where absoloutely free to eat now what you want.. what would this be?

funny.. but my absoloute whish was an APPLE to have the whish for a juicy nice green apple... im positive im on the right way and i dont even have to pee on a stripe to see its color is lila

thanks again for all you people.. ill try also to find some time to point on a foto and make a profile some time..

THANKS

your questions are easy for me to awnser

IS IT MADE TO BURN CARBS AND FUNCTION? OR TO BURN FAT AND FUNCTION?

fat burning metabolisms are the natural way are bodys are supos to be and have been for over 99% of are entire existence

the only chance are bodys had too switch to a glucose/carb burning metabolisms was maybe 2 months out of each year when lots of fruit was ready to eat before winter

and the only high carb food available year round was honey but it was guarded by bees and back then we did not have protective clothes to defend vs the bee stings and such so we most likely did not get much honey


the Atkins diet is alot like the diet of are ancestors you can see an example of it with natives and eskimos when they ate there high fat atkin like diets in the past they were all very healthy and strong but now with there unnatural ridiculously high carb toxic diets they have all become ill

high blood sugar is toxic to the body and to fix it the body releases insulin to mop it up and are bodys were never ment to go year after year endureing high blood sugar abuse

for alot of people the end result is type 2 diabetes thats when you are insulin resistant and once your body can no longer stop the harmful blood sugar spikes they will reach your kidneys and permanently damage them and if it gos on for too long you will need a kidney transplant

this is why Dr Atkins asked all type 2 diabetes people to get a creatine blood test done to see what shape there kidneys are in


but ya carbs taste good for a reason because they were ment to be available for only 2 months out of each year

when you eat lots of select carbs like sugar from fruit your body produces more insulin to mop it up and insulin is the fat storing hormone

so in other words by eating high amounts of carbs your ordering your body to store fat

so for alot of people it does not matter what you do if you keep eating carbs and keep telling your body to store fat you wont lose any fat


another thing to know is fruit is not like the fruit are ancestors ate fruit in today is not the same fruit of the past it has way more sugar added into it by mans way of growing it

thats why its better to eat berries they are more natural and alot better for you

eating around 65% fat 30% protein 5% carbs is not hard to do at all for example a chicken egg is 61% fat just add some butter to that and your over 65% fat

the Atkins diet cures and prevents many many diseases

the reasons why you need to eat so much fat are to help your body switch to a fat burning metabolism

and to keep your metabolism running at top speeds you dont want it to slow down you wont feel very good

your body will naturally go to its healthy weight by doing the Atkins diet and exercise

try and do weight lifting body building types of exercise and not just cardio

the Atkins diet will make your muscles insulin sensitive so the little glucose you do eat will go straight to them and not be used to make fat so thats why its extra good to do heavy weight lifting while on the diet

and if your muscles ever did need more glucose than from the carbs you eat the protein you eat has a 56 or 57% conversion rate to non blood sugar spikeing glucose so your muscles will get the power from the protein you eat

i think once your metabolism is healed from the Atkins diet the protein converted glucose are always good unlike the glucose from carbohydrates which spike your blood sugars

during the start of the diet i think its best to eat high fat , medium protein , low carb

then about 8 months into the diet you can eat high fat , high protein , low carb

i think you can eat up to 50-80?? carbohydrates a day while still keeping your muscles insulin sensitive not counting protein

remmber eating high fat does not cause heart disease or any disease for that matter

the only possible time fat can have undesirable results is when mixing high carbohydrates with it cause carbohydrates interfere with your body from being able to use fat properly

the average dietitian doctor is retarded but luckily more and more are smartening up and figureing out this common sense

anyways if you want to get healthy learn about the Atkins diet and follow it 100% reading all the things on these forums will help you alot

just spend time reading all the peoples posts on the Atkins forums so you learn things like to drink extra extra water during the massive weight loss during the start cause you need to flush the toxins out of your fat or something and to expect the induction flu

and also if you want to research things il give you some weblinks

Dear frinds...

its only few months ago that i had posted this here, ...

i lost 20 kilos !! in 3-1/2 months ! and now i have to buy new clothes

if i lose another 5 ill be perfect i guess...

together with the diet i did a lot of sports also..

for about 2 months now i didnt gain any weight.. but i really eat quit normal.. even bread or a cake or ice cream once here and there... but i dont over do it.

I did it ! and i wish luck to all others stil trying...

the knowledge and the book of course is one thing, but to have a very strong motivation is the key to everything. for me it was that i wanted to go windsurfing and i wasnt able so fat... find your motivation and the main reason you love to lose weight and stick to it ! the goal is for sure !

Thank you Dr. Atkins!
