...it's true that the body burns Carbs then Fats, and that if you cut fats out, you'll burn fat. But you'll also burn muscle tissue and fucking body organs. Your body doesn't make a fucking perfect checklist - when the best source of energy isn't in your body anymore, it panics and burns whatever it can.
It's an incredibly unhealthy diet, and I think it's ridiculous people are buying into it. Most of the weight is water, making the person dehydrated and unhealthy.
If you don't eat bread for breakfast, but scarf down steak after steak for dinner, you are going to get fucking fat.
Eat less and exercise, that's the best route.
Sorry if this sounds harsh, I've been reading Atkins posts for the past month now, and I want to put a bullet in that guys head.
