The Low-Carb Fraud

NOT TRUE! A Low carb diet helped me go from almost 500 pounds down to 250 pounds in a year in a half! And once a month I had a ‘cheat day’ and ate anything I was craving. That first cheat day my sister and I ordered a pizza. I thought I’d eat the whole thing but after two slices I was almost sick. This was back in 1999-2000 and I was almost completely bedbound and unable to exercise for the first 6-8 months while on the diet. I was on the lowest carb and sugar restrictions and lost 15-20 pounds every month. I was also under the care of a Family doctor for the whole time. I had an appointment every month for weight in’s and to be sure doing okay. Over the years, I continue to have weight issues and am now also type 2 diabetic. But I have finally been back on my original low carb, low sugar diet for more than a month and have already lost 15 pounds. I have tried calorie counting and portion control. Going low carb is just easier for me than other diet plans. And yes, low carb might not work for everyone but it’s not a lie! My doctor was about to put me on insulin injections to go along with the oral diabetes medicine that I take. I decided that I would try to go back on Atkins diet plan to try controlling my blood sugars this way first! Well, my blood sugars are under control for this past month and hopefully I can prevent needing insulin injections. Maybe I need to write my own book since I have actual experience in this matter unlike the author of this book. But if you follow an Atkins diet plan or low carb diet be sure to do your research. I have made mistakes here and there with certain foods that I really should not have eaten while on the diet and thus I slowed down my weight loss. I’ve also discovered that the Atkins snack bars are delicious! It feels like I’m getting away with something to eat something so yummy and still be able to lose weight!

I wish you'd told me before I reversed diabetes, chronic inflammation, eczema, neuropathy and other maladies while losing 100 pounds doing low carb and intermittent fasting. No, I don't. We don't need religion-based pod people confusing their ideology with health facts. We need to heal the damage carbage has already caused.

What a hack. I have PCOS everything this idiot says goes against what should be done pertaining to carbs. Simple carbs are Satan in a Sunday hat and complexity carbs, although better are still carbs with slower breakdown rates ( not science speak lol) this book can actually cause someone self harm thinking they they are doing the right thing following this fools words. ***Angry face**
