Warnings Against the Atkins Diet “Outdated”

September 3 2012 21:59 in Low Carb High Fat, Weight loss studies

Updated researchers now take LCHF diets very seriously:

Gary Foster, director of the Center for Obesity Research and Education at Temple University in Philadelphia…

“We have passed the time where we would say the Atkins diet is bad for you. That’s an outdated position,” Foster says. “This is a viable alternative for weight loss.”

    We need that here in America badly more support an Media telling people of a proper human diet.Which is ,yes that's right LCHF :P

    Doctor I have a question about being in Keto.Do you produce more bubbles or foam in urine wile in heavy Keto? A dietician told a friend of mine that he put on a low carb diet that it did.I have noticed it now that in longer periods with out food and in heavy states of exercise I too notice this.I tried researching it online but could not find a reference to it. I eat almost no carbs my fuel is fat.

    I get this phenomenon to such an extent that the foam can rise 6 inches off the surface of the water.What I hate is that I feel unhealthy when that happens and the occasional times when I get no foam at all I feel very healthy.I asked a few doctors in real and on the net and they all said same response,its normal.When the foam subsides it looks like a layer of calcium on the surface of the water.Would really love to know what it is and what I am spilling in huge amounts to maybe be able to do something about it.

    Key points.

    -"A lot of these favorable effects are due to the weight loss itself, not to the specific diet,"

    -"A review of 17 different studies that followed a total of 1,141 obese patients-----found that dieters lost an average of almost 18 pounds in six months to a year.

    Six months to a year. Are there any studies lasting 3 to 6 or more years to see what really happens to the heart and entire vascular system?
    Anything similar to Framingham?

    Thrand,
    Perhaps it would be useful for you to read the first lines of the article:

    Thanks Eheu but it is not protein.It happens when I do not eat for like 6 hours or even if I eat all fat and limit protein.This was said by a local dietician specializing in Keto style diets that the more bubbles the more fat you are burning in Keto to friend of mine he put on the diet.I have been on a low carb diet now for around 10 years. I really never really noticed it at all before until this was told to me so started looking for it.Was wondering if excessive fat burning can show up as same way and were the dietician got there info from but it seems to be true.
