Diets: Low-Carb and
Otherwise
Misunderstanding the Atkins Diet Instructions.
The problem with a lot of diets is that the people don't research the diet or read the full instructions before starting or during the diet.
Here is a small comical interlude I discovered on a
tasteless humor website that drives this point home in this
morbid humor rumination about the Atkins diet. It goes like
this:
For six months I've been on this meat-based Atkins
diet, and although I'm losing weight, it's beginning to
get difficult to stick to the diet. Before too long,
I'll have to move on to another town to find more

A Couple of Thoughts on Low-Carb Diets.
Low-carb diets are currently popular, and they work.
Without carbohydrates creating an easy-burning fuel for
immediate use, your body reaches out to its fat stores
for energy. Diets such as Atkins and South Beach provide
fast and motivating results to dieters as their fat
stores start melting away fast.
Replacing high-carbohydrate diets with low-carb ones
also restrains the body’s production of insulin, a
known cause of fat storage. In fact, low-carb diets
may help prevent adult-onset diabetes, because they
control insulin.
The other reason low-carb diets work is that they are
also low-calorie. It’s a long-standing truth: as
long as you burn more calories than you ingest,
you’re going to lose weight, even if all you eat is
brownies. Low-carb diets work the way all diets
work; by limiting the number of calories you eat
over all.
