Quote:The Atkins diet may raise the risk of fatal heart disease, according to a new study.

Analysis of more than 2,440 men found that those with a high protein intake faced a 33 per cent increased risk of developing heart failure, where the organ is unable to pump sufficient blood and oxygen around the body.

The Atkins diet is the best known of a range of popular commercial regimes claiming to help people lose weight by embracing low-carbohydrate, high-protein eating.

Even ancient man had heart disease.

The problem is people who weigh 500 pounds for whom 'regular' diets don't work who try diets like Atkins because they can eat many of the things they're already eating... and they eat way too much of them

Atkins is not in any way forgiving for about 2-4 weeks. It is hard core and difficult to get into ketosis and if you're not in ketosis and yet consuming tons of fats, you're actually harming your body...

People often cheat (sometimes unknowingly) and then blame the diet

If you're going to do an Atkins type diet, buy some ketosticks

My guess is protein alone is not the culprit. It's probably related to the fats ingested from the animal protein sources - probably an imbalance of Omega 6 fatty acids and a lack of Omega 3 fatty acids if I had to venture a guess. Also, could be that the HDL and LDL cholesterol plus triglycerides were spiked - though high HDL is supposed to be good for you. I never subscribed to Atkins diet since it looks like it went overboard with excluding carbs; however, I currently try to eat a higher level of protein and less carbs.

Damn that sounds good except for the okra. If there were one thing to make me think god hates me it would be my allergy to okra. Of all things. Eat a good helping of fried okra and it leaves faster than it arrived. A little bit of okra in gumbo and I survive it otherwise, just damn. Why couldn't it have been beets. Lol

Googled it.. not an allergy. Sensitivity to slolanine. Go figure.

Right. The high protein/low carb diets are based on avoiding the insulin spikes that come with high intakes of processed carbs. But hgh protein diets vary. For instance, Atkins allows lots of fat to be consumed with the high protein consumption. Atkins is just about avoiding carbs. The South Beach diet uses the same avoidance of insulin spikes by following a high protein/low carb diet, but it preaches leaner protein sources in a effort to moderate fat intake.
