Low Carb diets always make you gain weight in the long run. Here is why.

Don't give me that horse shit about HFCS being the cause either because I watch soccer players drink Gatorade all day and never gain a pound.

Gatorade is loaded with HFCS.


Simple. Get off of your ass and move. Eat carbs for energy so you have the energy to move.

I think Gatorade has regular sugars, not HFCS.

i think the reasoning is that not all carbs are created equally. some carbs get converted to 'sugars' quicker than others. veggie carbs are 'slow' carbs in that they con't get converted quickly. bread, pasta, crappy food etc are fast carbs. protein, good fats (like olive oil, avacodoes etc) and veggies are what we should be eating the most of.

Avoid the white sugar and white flour.

I'm pretty sure it does. I'm looking at a bottle of it right now.

Low carb diets do work, and quite well I might add. True if you don't change eating habbits when done and continue to stuff your face with cabr laden goodies, then yes the fat will come back.

The science behind low carb is just that scientific fact. Restricting the carb intake, which your body is used to digesting and eating protein and fats, pulls a fast one on the metabolism. The digestive system when it comes to digesting the proteins and fats determines it is too much effort to perform this function for energy, so it then uses stored fat for current energy needs. The proteins and fats are then duked out.

Personally I like the diet because it is also refered to as 'the drinkers diet', I don't have to give up my prefered method of decompression.

It has nothing to do with the type of carbs.

Look at FACTS

JAPAN EATS 80% CARBS- They are thin.

US Eats 50% carbs= WE ARE FAT.

I've seen obese vegans because they drizzle olive oil on their salads.

Judge by RESULTS. RESULTS PROVE THAT HIGH PROTEIN DIETS GIVE YOU GOUT.

Results prove I'm right.

Atkins. The low carb king. Was obese when he died.


260 pounds. OBESE. OBESE OBESE.


ANd you will too. Low carb diets are horse fucking shit.

Oh yeah and the Japanese guzzle down soft drinks daily with High Fructose Corn syrup. They are still thin.

Care to to explain? Anyone? ?

They work like shit. It's not scientific fact or Americans would be the thinnest in the world because we eat the fewest carbs in the world. Are you that fucking dense?

A low carb diet is referred to as "the drinker's diet"? I have done low carb for over 10 years and have NEVER heard of that before, but I guess it's good to know lol. Nice avatar, btw...

Americans get 35% of their calories from Fat. 15% from protein. And 50% from Carbs. They are fat.


Japanese get 80% from Carbs. 10% from Protein and 10% from Fat. They are thin.



We eat the fewest Carbs as a percentage of total Calories out of any industrialized nation.


If low carb diets made you thin we would be thinnest on the planet.

I guess John Hopkins would disagree with you...



Johns Hopkins researchers have made the proponents of the always controversial Atkins diet very happy.

A recent study presented at the American Heart Association’s March meeting lauded low-carb diets such as Atkins for producing weight loss and belly fat loss — linked to heart disease — more efficiently than low-fat diets.

Johns Hopkins, which has an office in Palm Beach, did not receive any money from Atkins for the study, according to Aliza Rothman, publicist for Atkins Nutritionals.

Both diets did result in weight loss, but those on the Atkins diet lost more over the time period of the study.

“After six months, those who were on the low-carb diet lost an average of 28.9 pounds versus 18.7 pounds among those on the low-fat diet,” said lead investigator Kerry J. Stewart, a professor of medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine as well as director of clinical and research exercise physiology at the Johns Hopkins Heart and Vascular Institute.

The Johns Hopkins researchers also found that concerns over eating more fat, which those on low-carb diets may do, are misplaced. For years, anti-Atkins people have claimed that eating fat can contribute to heart disease. Johns Hopkins found that the study participants’ blood vessels, even on Atkins, improved with weight loss.

Huh?

I've low carbed it every spring, just as I am now, for the last decade, drink vodka instead of beer(vodka no carbs), drop like 35lbs by summer (end of june), look much better, I do excercise regularly, cheat one day a week(sunday), by tuesday I'm back in ketosis. When all is said and done I attempt to form better eating habbitts and about 10lbs come back on. then inevitably around christmas stress time I eat like one of those chicks who has cottage cheese going down her thighs and wears those big poofy pasely dresses that used to be table cloths, you know the one's with dark hair, mustache, and when she moves just right the slight seperation of her ass crack causes an odor to whaft through the room.......well any way I eat like one of them for a month or so, and bamm as soon as the nice weather comes around I wake up out of glutonnous slumber and realize I've gained it all back, full circle, one year....yes I've been doing it a decade, people don't think of me as fat even at my heavy wieght.

Honestly, the best diet I have implemented was the following:

Eat one meal a day (green veggies and meats only)
Drink coffee all day except for the one meal
only use regular pure cane sugar (speeds up metabolism)
Do not eat any fruits
Do not eat crap (potato chips, candy, etc)

Do this for a month and the pounds will come off (worked for me). I lost over 30 lbs this way. It seems that the coffee and sugar stimulate the metabolism, while the greens/meat dinners feed carbs.

After you get to the weight you want, you can start eating two meals a day but try to stay away from fruits and general junk foods. Lunch, for me, consists of meats, bread, nuts, etc.

Try it and see. Once your system adjusts, you will find that you only need to consume a small portion of food. If you get hunger pains, suck down more coffee. The reason for coffee is that it has less of the bad crap than soda. The only soda I even consume nowadays is Grapefruit soda from Jamaica (no fluoride in water and only pure cane sugar).

Hope this may help someone.

Sugar and white flour cause cancer and diabetes evidentially.

Being thin and being healthy are two different things..

You know what I mean.

Apparently they aren't two different things because fat people die of cancer at 3x the rate as non-smoking thin people.

No I don't know what you mean, what you said made no sense and then you changed it now. WTF...

You're a fucktard OP, no two ways about it im afraid.

Yes you do know what I meant. You can clearly see it was a typo you fucking shill.

:group clap:

yeah google the drinkers diet its a book written in the sixty's, the atkins diet basicly before it was called the atkins diet......

Another perk of low carb is that less alcohol will impact you, so you can be a cheaper date, lol.

Explain this to me.


Why are societies that eat more carbs thinner.


Europeans eat more carbs than people in the US.

Japanese eat more carbs than people in the US.

Both those societies are thinner than people in the US.


EXPLAIN THOSE FACTS TO ME.

Just Googled, in case people are curious -

I am a runner. I love carbs.

You know what? I'm sorry but people on this forum are fucking blind.


Atkins the low carb pusher was obese when he died.

That is a fact. He was over 260 pounds.


Why should I take advise from you people when I'm the one sitting at 8% body body fat. Bye.

Exactly

You are healthy. And you eat carbs. OMG THE WORLD IS GONNA END.


You will be tired and lethargic without carbs people.
