Krystle, Age 18 have u actually read the book???? it not a quick fix it a LIFESTYLE. people think u just gore on bacon and stuff......no u don't and SOME fat is good for you cause your body need it to function and another thing i've been on a low cal diet you would have to eat that same amount like for the rest of your like just to matinee (did i mention counting calories is way to much work) Also with Atkins u stay full mentally and physical because u getting the right fat and protein. when have a low cal diet every been fulfilling? never and to mention (i done lost 10 pounds with atkins so far and feel wonderful) read the book. The guy live to be over 70 so i mean he must have been doing someting right

right... well anyways- i'm all up[ for droping it- i feel that this isn't a fight for intellegent people- and yeah- i took college classes(ap) when i was a sophmore also and am taking 4 of them currently and i wasn't flattering myself because no offence but they're pretty easy to get into at any school if you just know a bit about the subject. but anyways. good luck to everyone(even cherry) and krystles right- we just need to do what we feel is best and leave everyone to what they feel is best even if we don't believe it's healthy for them. thanks krystle- you make the most sense out of all of us. lol. once girls let their egos out it's hard to tame them again. lol.

i wouldn't call myself stupid at all. infact- i go to a summer academic program becasue i am a head of people and i get straight A's in almost all advanced classes. i also wouldn't call you stupid either becaue i'll not sink down to petty insults. i'd just call you a bit misguided. i do read and i read a lot and i know that water fasting is not good for your body- anyone who knows anything about their body knows that it effects your bopdy in very harmful ways and that your body needs energy. i also know that if you went and asked your parents and your doctor for permission then they would definately say no.

humans didn't eat grain until;l they started farming it!!! and you've obviously never tried it if you say it doesn't teach you any dicipline- it definately does- you can't eat any sugar or grains and such- but really you should already know that. um- i also don't think a girl that resorts to water fasting should be saying anything about health!!! at least i'll never listen to YOUR bull crap...

well- you obviously haven't read the book. you don't cut out a whole food group becasue it has too many carbs in it- you eat a certain amount a day and after you lose that weight you eat carbs again slowly. and humans don't even need grain. our bodies weren't even made for it- our bodies were healthier only eating veggies- fruits(you can add these back in after your initial weight loss in the atkins diet)- and meat. that's how are bodies were made and that's why the atkins diet works so well- and by the way- you don't need to eat as much fat as everyone's saying at all. just becasue bacon isn't bad on that diet doesn't mean people eat it 24/7! i'm not even on the atkins diet but i'm just so sick of everyone not knowing anything about it and claiming that it's horrible for your health. and by the way- i don't even think dr. atkins followed his own diet- i think he was just the one to teach it.

ok- well i do support you correcting krystle on her false accusations of the atkins diet becasue i know that it's not a quick fix- BUT- i do not support the fact that you are falsly accusing the low cal diet. you do not have to eat the same amount of calories for your life- you eat as much as you burn for weight matinence. don't be hypocritical and get all of the facts before you accuse like you're telling other people not to...
