Fat and protein are also broken down to sugar. I would be dead if I lost 50
pounds. Jim measured his cholesterol count once at under 125 so he would be
dead if it went down much. Your no-starch diet may work for losing weight
fast but it is likely to make you rather sick in the long run.

thats actually not what the research shows. yes, if you go into keytosis and
break out the starvation hormones, its not good for you. which is why, though
i think atkins discovered something major, i dont totally agree with the
atkins diet. low carb is very different than no carb. think about eating raw.
before food is over processed and canned and boxed and all that crap we do
to it. meat. eggs. cheese. fish. whole grains. vegetables. fresh fruit.
butter.
as opposed to dairy queen, bread, rolls, potatoes, candy, the amazing amount
of high sugar drinks we consume, more bread, macaroni and cheese, sweetened
cereal.
and low carb isnt designed for "speedy" weight loss. you put it on slowly,
and you need to take it off slowly, if you are overweight. but there are so
many other reasons to eat a low sugar healthy diet. and you mention that fats
and protiens turn to sugar. yes, but they dont cause your body to over produce
insulin to process the vast amount of sugar we consume on a daily basis.

It sounds like what you are doing is not low carbohydrate but avoiding refined
carbohydrates such as sugar and white flour, which is an excellent idea.
We eat brown rice, millet, quinoa, sometimes whole wheat macaroni, and oatmeal
and sometimes barley and rye bread and wheat bread and potatoes.
Jim points out that cheese has lactose, a carbohydrate (sugar).
Good luck with your diet - you must be learning lots about nutrition and
cooking that you can share.

When I was in fourth grade, one of my classmates put a small chunk of meat
into a bottle of Coke as an experiment. Over the course of a week or so, the
chunk got smaller. It occurs to me know that another process could have been
involved, but it convinced us that Coke wasn't particularly 'safe'. Not that
we stopped drinking it, mind you.

I think most of the ability to dissolve stuff that people associate with
Coke is due to its acidity. A glass of orange juice would probably have
similar effects.

As would the acids that are already in your stomach ;)

I guess, technically, you could fit that into the Atkins diet. ;)

Actually, what I find most interesting about #61 is that they felt it
necessary to throw the word "gay" in there. I'm not entirely sure why,
unless this is just the same sort of subtle discrimination that caused
the word "black" to appear in a lot of newspaper crime reports where it
didn't really make a difference. (You will never see the headline,
"Heterosexual white man arrested".)

When most people say "Bite me!", they don't mean it literally.
