Atkins DIET!!!!

[TKD1]

I have not eliminate the cards at all, in every meal there is always a greed salad, with lettuce, tomatoes, carrots and onions, a couple times a week a fruit like bananas, oranges. pineapple, watermelon, or a apple, and once a week a portion of white rice. I know for sure that the carbs are good for that reason I have not eliminate then completely from my diet, but my diet is based on atkins diet

If you are still eating carbs, it is not based on the Atkins diet.

That aside, it sounds like a terrible diet.

Does any one used it before? This diet is based on only meat and fat, NO CARBS at all.

Dr Atkins is dead.... bad idea.

4 more pounds down, this is great!!

Dude if you had read Dr. Atkins diet, you would know that he recommend to add the cards to the diet little by little, the diet works pretty well and you only have to eliminate the cards completely only for the first 2 weeks, I recommend you to read it before giving and opinion on something you really dont handle.

My weight on 03-19-2012 was 242 pounds and today my weight is 226.6 pounds, so far so good. And no cardio.

Now I am back to the GYM and I am putting some carbs in, 1 more pound down.

yes, probably the best diet on the planet... let the haters hate

but not the best for someone as active as a fighter IMO, you'll need some complex carbs daily before training IMO

Bad choice, not only for sport performance, but also for health.

PERFORMANCE WISE - Every cell in your body runs glycogen. Basicaly what your body turns carbohydrates into. The best source of carbohydrates is fruit, its been proven that fructose is the best fuel for humans along with the fact that fruit is a high source of antioxidance, vitamins and minerals. After fruit i recommend unprocessed carbohydrates such as rice, potatoes and oats. Then my 3rd choice would be whole wheat pasta and other whole wheat products, however some people dont do too well with gluten....So basicaly your going to have very little energy training on an atkins diet and your not going to be getting all the vitamins and minerals your body needs.

HEALTH WISE - If your concerned about your health, like everyone should be, then the Atkins diet is the worse thing you could do to your body. High consumption of Animal products is 100% proven to increase your risk of heart disease, cancer, diabeties... the list goes on and on. I recomend reading "The China Study" its the biggest ever nutritional study, very eye opening. With Low to no intake of animal products, all these diseases can be avoided. Food for thought.

If anyone tells you carbohydrates make you fat or fruit makes you fat this person is very very wrong. I eat the most fruit and carbohydrates out of anyone i know and my body fat is bellow 10% year round. Its the fat that makes you fat, not the carbohydrates. Try it for a week tho please, eat 2600 calories of mostly fruits, vegtables and some cooked carbs if you want and see what your weight dose. EAT MORE if you training.

Hope this helps

BULL****

Your brain needs carbohydrates to function properly.

If you want to lose weight just get into a caloric deficit... You don't need to cut out carbs, just make sure you account for them in you daily caloric allowances.
