[foxy89]

Dr.Atkins was a Well recognized Dr. and did not "pull his info out of a hat either!"...you DO need carbs but not as much as people are eating you NEED carbs from veggies and some fruits but where do you think most americans are getting their carbs from???.....NOT VEGTABLES..people eat tons of breads,dougnuts,pies,cakes,and processed junk,and think that they have a right to cause after all their CARBS.Atkins does not say Never eat a plate of pasta again in your life! but does put restrictions on it and instead encourages veggies as your main source of carbs. their is no such thing as a "fits ALL" way of eating, everyone has to find what works for there weightloss and at the same time keeps them healthy. For Some thats Low carb,For others Low Fat,others Neither and need there own "Individualized plan"

If you will notice, they are simply stating studies and statements made by authoritative organizations that know what they are doing. They're not pulling this stuff out of a hat.

The fact of the manner is that the good Lord designed us to fuel off of carbohydrates. The most healthy thing to do is to get plenty of exercise and consume plenty of complex carbohydrates to fuel that exercise. You can't have one without the other. If you have a sloth-like existence and binge on simple sugars or refined white bread and such, sure, you'll pack on the pounds, but if you exercise, you can consume a high amount of complex carbs and still lose weight, feel great, and be healthier than the alternative.
