wow, so they’re basically saying that you cannot eat the foods(meat and saturated fat) that our ancestors have been eating for millions of years. That sounds ridiculous.
Yeah it´s processed food and high sugar food that is bad not healthy carbs. I don´t want to eat unhealthy fats and I don´t have acne but I get acne from nuts. I have eaten high carb my whole life and never been fat or gotten overweight from that. I can eat a lot of carbs without gaining fat.
It’s a lie wev’e been told to keep the low fat diet industry in buisness before Atkins came out and told the truth!
Iv’e read his book a few times and in THIS day and age in THIS Country it’s definitely the “processed foods” that have been our down fall including sugar in the form of confection as well as bad carbs (white foods) God bless Dr Atkins R.I.P
People who don’t understand Low Carb simply don’t understand biochemistry. they must educate themselves!
Simplified … excess Insulin is overall the bad guy.
LDL (the bad cholesterol) receptors are INCREASED in fat cells (adipocytes) by …. you guessed it … insulin!! Not good … it simply makes u STORE MORE FAT!
Also, G3P (Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate) becomes the glycerol backbone of triglycerides (fat!). and G3P is produced in CARBOHYDRATE metabolism!!! NOT fat metabolism!
Animal meat and animal fat are about the best things a Human can eat. Throw in some berries, veggies, and just some fruit, and you have The Caveman Diet.
Low-carbers get their energy from their high-fat diet. Low-carbers often report they have more energy then they ever did before on a high-carb diet. High-carb diets make you feel tired and sleepy.
First of all this guy is wrong. The bacon cheeseburger will not kill you. The whole saturated fat thing is a myth.
And the more calories than you burn thing is a myth also. That’s not true. Why do fat people not even eat a lot and still can’t lose weight. Cause it’s the carbohydrates.
Animal meat and animal fat is very good for you and it’s what Humans like you and me have evolved to eat. This guy sounds like he has a vegetarian agenda.
Not all veg have carbs. Things like broccoli, beans, cauliflower, cabbage and the like have very little carbs but are very rich in vitamins and minerals.
I agree with you completely. Animal fat is the most natural form of fat out there… and we need fat! It’s healthy. I gained weight on low- fat for years…. Now I eat plenty of fat and I have lost 40 pounds.
but isn’t there a risk that I’m gonna use a lot of water and and break down a lot of muscle for energy? I’m actually thinking about going on a low carb diet but 34 pounds in one month sounds a bit much :O. when I work for my definition where I try to drop body fat % I lose about 1-2 pounds per week if even that. Another thing I don’t understand is why they call it low carb when you usually eat a lot of vegetables on a low carb diet. vegetables have carbs. can anyone explain this please?
you’re right, fat and protein are about twice as difficult for your body to use as energy.
But being on a low to no-carb diet means your body has to use these. The first week of a low carb diet is hell, as your body screams for carbs, but after that, with soome light excercise to avoid protein usage, your body begins to use fat as its primary fuel source, leading to rapid weight loss, I’ve been on a low carb diet for 1 month and lost 34 pounds.
I though your calories should consist of lean protein mostly. personally I eat 40 % protein, 30%fats and 30 % carbs. I also try to eat all fats except trans fats, so I don’t cut away the fat from my steak and stuff. I tried the atkins diet and became seriously tired. And that’s cause my body didn’t have any glycogen
Because, where else are you gonna get your calories from? Carbs? No way! You also want to avoid polyunsaturated oils at all cost. Your two remaining choices are animal fats and nuts. Animal fats are cheaper, already in the meat you’re eating, and actually help lower your bad cholesterol, raise your good cholesterol, and lower your triglyceride levels.
A better question would be, why would you choose other calories over animal fats?
Animal fats should still be your main source of calories. That’s what I’m getting at. The best diet is one where the majority of calories come from fatty meat. You still need calories, and animal fats are the best source of them.
animal fats are good cause they’re said to help with testosterone levels, but only to a certain amount. that’s why i don’t exclude animal fats from my diet entirely
I eat a high-fat/relatively low carb diet (I don’t go to Atkins extremes, I eat about 50g of carbs a day; all from fruit and vegetables) and I never have energy problems. I lift heavy weights too.
You missed my point. Chicken is one of the “leanest protein sources” out there, but we don’t want lean! We want fatty meat! The idea is that animal fats are not bad; they are very good.
I don’t really believe in the low carb actually. where do those people get their energy from? fat isn’t exactly the preffered source of energy right? If I were to go on that diet I would probably become all sleepy and shit.

So unhealthy.

I love cheese, butter, bacon and other “low carb’ fatty foods!

“vegetables have carbs”
Not all veg have carbs. Things like broccoli, beans, cauliflower, cabbage and the like have very little carbs but are very rich in vitamins and minerals.
Amen to that!
humans evolved from animal fat ..not processed grain crap!

you cant eat low fat and low carb, its impossible!!! you have too be one or the other
