Pretty cool show from what i saw of it. Got to the bit about kidney stones, then we had to change channel for ER.
What was the outcome is it a good diet to use to lose the Lbs, or did it say your gonna screw up ya body ???
I reckon as we are meat eaters / predators etc in evolution, I'd say we're better equiped in life to eat meat.
What ive seen of 20 day of atkins diet on me mate, has drawn his face in and he's lost ½ stone too.
It deffo works but what did horizon have to say about long term use of it ?
I reckon loose a few Lbs then go onto a sensible diet, then use the atkins for a month etc. keep swapping onto it, and the final balance has to be fairly good for yer. But eating as much as U want all the time must surely burn you out. Not to mention poo'ing like a baby apparently, and the bad breath.
The future for potatoes and bread might not be that bleek after all. We'll probabally be running our cars of them by 2010.

Basically, the reason the atkins diet works (and it does) is because you actually eat less. There's no magic to it other than protien is an appitite suppressor. You get full faster so you eat less calories.
But there are quite possibly some dangerous long term issues with the diet such as cancer and kidney problems but there has been no research into the long term effects.

You need carb's, our cells contain carb's, its what gives them rigidity 
We need them for energy too, carbs are great- is all about moderation.
My sister does this Atkins diet, and her hair goes all greasy, her skin bumpy- and usually she is a fantastic looking lady. She gets bad tempered and has really bad wind, true she looses weight, but then after about a month she cant take it any more, and after a few days of eating (small) normal meals the weight goes back on- madness to put yourself through it imo.

I was on this last year - I lost 2 stone in 6 months then came off it coz the monotony of it eventually bored me rigid.... I then put back on the 2 stone in 3 months :$ :S
It does work - no doubt about it but you gotta be sooooooo strict with it.... you cant mix & match with it... if you veer off the diet guidelines slightly by introducing carbs you can actually put on weight with it...

The folks tried this Atkins Diet last year. After 3 days they were having all the symptoms of a serious illness. The old man became very ill. I dont agree with it at all, but thats just my opinion

lol - ATkins means no beer, no full fat coke, no fruit juices....
However you can drink your own weight in red wine & spirits

Aren't yer hungry all the time?...I've gotta eat at least 2 big meals a day an then have smallish snacks in beetween, like cereal or cheese on toast.
I could never go on a diet cos I feel dead weird if I haven't eaten enough, I go a bit light headed an have no energy.
