I've done research myself on the Atkins diet, unbiased research, and there's a huge difference between a low carb diet and putting yourself through ketosis. It's pointless to argue this any further with you though Gatekeeper, you were an overweight guy that found a way to lose weight without having to move, you're very very biased on the issue. And yes, there's no reason Atkins couldn't get away with selling his book, you can say you believe anything you want has health benefits. There's people selling dieting books based on eating according to your zodiac sign for fuck's sake. I don't care anymore though, you're adults, do whatever you want to lose weight and get as freakishly thin as you want, I'm just tired of all this stupid rationalization. Eat everything in moderation, exercise and drink lots of water if you want serious results. I'm going back to my old workout routine and boxing to get back into good shape, I think my shoulder's good enough to give it one more shot before I concede to surgery. I got back into working out in Cali and realized just how much I miss it. It also provides a healthy self esteem boost that you can't get from eating a pound of bacon.
Anyway, I flew home from Cali tonight so I should be around tommorow jet lag not withstanding. I'll see y'all soon.
