Nobody is talking about vitamin C. I brought the vitamin C
matter as a clue to human dependence on consumption of
fruits for other sources and not necessarily vitamin C.


I don't read them. And I'm not talking nonsense.

Yep, in controlled amounts along with all carbohydrates.


20gm per day is only for the first 2 weeks to establish a baseline carb
level, increasing until a satisfactory balance between carb consumption and
weight loss or maintenance is established.


There is a great deal of nonsense written in newspapers, full stop.

PS, I'm not an Atkins advocate, I've just read the books and dabbled with
the diet.

Great posting.
I did the Atkins diet with some of my own modifications and I lost 65 pounds.
I took off 40 pounds in the first 4 months or so and the rest over another 8
months or so.....

Well, nice information regarding Atkins Diet. Thanks for sharing Maleki.

As what I've read the Atkins diet promises that not only will lose weight and not be hungry with a low-carbohydrate diet, but also be on the road to have a better heart health and memory function, as well as other wellness benefits. That is why I've followed those steps and didn't expect the result of my perseverance of my diet.

Hi,

Yes, Tony is correct, there's a lot of misleading information in the press, for example about completely cutting out carbs. The diet has multiple phases but the media only focus on certain elements which gives people a misleading impression unfortunately.
