Enjoy and let's pray Huroya's (El Chuchillo) tracker isn't down!

The tracker isn't work so oh well.

I downloaded and watched it. If you are interested in dieting, the video has alot of facts about the Atkins diet. I thought since it is one of the most popular diets out there, there would be some people who wouldn't mind watching it.

How DARE you call Our Lord and Master, Foamy, a rodent! He is to be referred to only as a squirrel, an overlord, or a master. The Foamy Cult Deathsquad, once assembled, will be sure to hunt you down.

Low calorie + regular exercise = best.

Fatkins = quick way out, the Dark Side of diets.

Atkins is a great diet if people use it correctly. Stay on it for a couple months to lose that initial big slice of weight, then slowly fade off of it back to a normal lower calorie diet combined with exercise.

I have about half a dozen friends who've lost nearly 100 pounds with that method in a short amount of time.

See, the difference is, you went to your doctor, who referred you to a nutritionist, who laid out a plan for you to lose weight without gaining it back. Atkins was PART of this plan.

The trouble is that people use atkins as an entire lifestyle... I.E. never eating carbs again.. Which is a bad thing. And they do it poorly, as well.. eating fatty, red meats, eggs cooked in more butter or baconfat then anything else, and even up to neglecting fruits, veggies, and basic vitamins.

While atkins may be a good idea in principal, like communisim, it is difficult to execute in actual practice.

Isn't it hard on your kidneys too?

I didn't download the file, so, if it was mentioned there, tough luck.

I don't know the specifics, but I DO wish that america would stop spooging about atkins for five fucking minutes.

When I went to the nutritionist with my mom, the first thing she asked was "Are you on atkins?" She was relieved to hear "No", and went on a mini-rant about it. I laughed.

Yeah no kidding. I went to Panera the other day for dinner, and they have low-carb breads there. Wtf? Panera is about the BREAD, why do they feel the need to cave into making their menu Atkins-friendly?

Or quiznos, where they give you marinated turkeybreast, bacon, cheese, heavy mayo, and then ask if you want it on a wrap to reduce carbs. Wtf. The bread absorbs the grease, I don't want it all going directly to my heart!

Atkins will cause your body to produce Ketones which is bad. A common ketone is Acetone(Nail Polish Remover) Thinks it's good to have stufff like that floating around your blood stream? Also this is not to good for the Liver.


Half the time the easiest thing to lose weight is to get up and move a bit, and stop eating fast food.
