Crew, limey said that his cholesterol DID go up, not that he thought it might. He had the actual proof in his hands. Normally it may not be true, but in some cases the Atkis diet can raise cholesterol. Poeple have to know that there is a risk. It may not be a great risk, but a risk none the less.
Both of these are quotes from your article:
"More study is necessary before such a diet can be recommended," Westman said.
"There is no magic combination of fat versus carbs versus protein," she said. "It doesn't matter in the long run. The bottom line is calories, calories, calories."
This is the MAGIC way to lose weight! No low carbs. No low fat. All you have to do is burn more calories than you ingest. I'll say that again. All you have to do is burn more calories than you ingest. You can eat a normal diet (don't go crazy on carbs, fat, sugars, or cholestorol, but eat normal). You don't have to avoid milk products and bread, and you don't have to avoid mayo and butter. Just get out of your chair and do something active. I can lose 2 pounds a week if I burn 1000 more calories a day then I ingest. I know everyone is different, but I figuer I'm probably in the middle.
You don't have to join a gym. Just go to a basketball court three times a week or go swim at the local pool. If you don't have enough time to exercise, you don't have enough time to be healthy. If you don't have enough time to be healthy, you'll have less time in the end (meaning you'll probably die younger).
Enjoy life.
