AhmedBad Bad Atkins Diet - Health and Fitness

Cheeseburger!
At the heart of it, the Atkins Diet recommends avoiding all carbohydrates, causing your body to chew through the pudgy rolls of fat in unsexy places - this allows the gleeful dieter to eat all kinds of greasy, meaty foods.
It's kind of treacherous, though... one stray french fry or cracker, and WHUMP! it's the Nutty Professor in reverse.
Ow! I just bit into a scorching hot egg tart and it burnt my mouth.
Ok, better now.
Whew... how can something you love so much continues to hurt you? Do you really want to hurt me, egg tarts?
Rachel sez:
Both the American College of Nutrition (“Of all the bizarre diets that have been proposed in the last 50 years, this is the most dangerous to the public if followed for any length of time.") and the American Medical Association (“the Atkins diet as recommended poses a serious threat to health”) disapprove of the diet.
I think both Rachel and I would agree that the Atkins diet is NOT the way to go. It sells the false promise of eating fatty meals but losing weight. Next, Atkins will promise you 70 virgins when you enter Carb-free heaven.
Don't believe the hype.
Where Rachel and I disagree, I'd imagine, is that she probably eats really healthily and I make a mean T-bone steak. If she tried to take it away from me, I'd growl and bark at her. If she tried again, I'd be forced to mark my territory. And that's that.

But contrary to your belief, I'm the biggest sucker for a good steak! Seriously, as I'm writing this my mouth is watering just thinking about it!

I get hungry just looking at those beautiful aged T-bones at the butcher shop...
