American people think not eating bread will make 'em lose weight. How 'bout doing something that works, like gettin' off ya freaking jello tush and work out?

A diet that focuses on banning carbs, contrary to popular belief no body knows if Atkins died of obesity like John Wayne was never even autopsied.
It is not a license to gorge Atkins once said.
Your heart may be buttery after this diet but its not like this diet permits 20 sticks of butter, a day might follow an omelet with cheese, ham ,and mushroom with a hearty chef salad for lunch then with a steak and tossed veggies. And berries are permitted sparingly with i must admit hearty fatty snacks time to time.
I'm surprised that most definitions that actually state the diet are made up of people who did not read the book, and it does not permit unlimited fatty food. This idea came from the fact this book permits cheese and meat which if you recall the 70's where made to look evil towards rice and pasta. The first 2 weeks only allow 30 net gram carbs then there is another phase which introduces whole grains back.

an illogical diet that says eating lots of fat and protein will make you lose weight, when it actually just gets your arteries clogged and makes you constipated. It's actually better to have carbs
i'm having a quadruple bypass surgery and i haven't taken a shit in a week
it's because of that damn atkins diet
no! it's because of the piece of bread i ate last night!

An estremely unhealthy diet that supposedly thinks carbs are the source of weight gain. Used mostly by idiots with no willpower.
I should invent a diet like this one. You eat lots of high protein and high carb foods and get lots of exercise. It has already worked for thousands of years and for billions of people. What do you think the farmers, miners, soldiers, blacksmiths, etc. have been doing for thousands of years? Eating meats, breads, vegetables, and getting a shitload of exercise, and they are usaully in shape.

Weight loss method devised in the 1970's by Richard Atkins. The basic principle is lower carbohydrate intake, as carbs are stored energy. If there is less carbohydrate, then the body will go to using fat, go directly to using fat, do not pass carbs, do not collec 200 calories.
The atkins is really fuckin' expensive, just go to the fuckin gym.
DR Atkins slipped on ice and fell. He had a heart attack. Had his body been less petit, he would have survived- translation- go to the gym and lose weight while becoming stronger, rather than scrawney.

The sorry excuse for a diet regimen that ends up leaving you more unhealthy than if you had stayed off the diet.
How can you substitute sugars and starch for saturated fats? The brain's main food is sugar, and there happens to be a little insignificant thing called....uhh.... HEART DISEASE?!!!!!
