Has anyone seen the atkins documentary on 4oD?

[Sapphire]

No you're quite right, this is the easiest diet i've ever done!

Sorry for posting the link and making you angry lol Her sour face peed me off too!

If she really did want to be in the forces that much AND she had already failed once she wouldn't have let ANYTHING stop her. She would have lost that weight and been training everyday.

She just didn't want it enough. I felt bad for her, cos she really didn't get how her body or the diet works and inevitably she failed.

AMEN!

i read the book and with the help on here now understand WAY more than feeling defeatest fron the off, like her

Jim you are right to not watch it I don't know what got at me the most the 3 bowls of cereal she admitted to at over 20g carbs per bowl or the 'whats wrong with a banana, bananas are healthy' statement, sorry love try the 21+ grams of carbs it contains when your sposed to be following a diet containing no more than 20g of carbs a day!!

Nice rant Missy!! lol

Is it just on line or can you watch it on 4oD on Virgin?

 

[Jim]

yes, these things always do my head in, some years ago there was a thing on the telly comparing various diets. The guy doing Atkins was a city fat cat (literally) He sat there eating steak and cheese and stuff saying, "What I like about Atkins is I don't have veggies or fruit" Of course the diet specialists latched on to that one, "That's why Atkins is a killer" I was going mad at the telly. LOL.

 

[StephenP]

Must agree Jim

I watched that series Jim. It was decided at the end though, Atkins was the most successful because it kept people fuller for longer. That always stayed in my mind. Guess what? They were right!!

 

[MissyMustDoIt]

sharon re virgin? i dont know hun, i watched online, and have sky but worth the watch if your feeling pissed off anyway haha

 

[margareth]

There are always people out here who dont believe that diets work!!!

 

[margareth]

By the way Jim your before and after picture are amazing!!!

 

[Jim]

Yes they did didn't they Sharon, it was just the guy really got my goat! LOL

Thanks margareth

 

[Cinta]

True Jim!

Thanks Missy, I will watch tonight in bed & then rant meself, lol

 

[Cinta]

Well now! I have just watched it & I can remember watching it back in 2003 & even bought the book, but obviously didn't read it, lol.

Wow, it seems so old fashioned now! The woman was an idiot, pretending she normally lived on fruit. Yeh, right love.
I would love to see a new programme made showing all the links to diabetics controlling their sugar levels nowadays.
I can't believe they were saying it was low in calcium either. Hello...cheese, cream & dark leafy vegetables!!

Just as I was shouting at my laptop, John Brigga came on & said a lot of the discrediting of Atkins was 'political due to the money involved in the cereal business &, of course, the statin producing business'. Also now known, the bonuses your doctors surgery gets every time they put you on one of these drugs!!!

A brilliant book to read is 'Big Fat Lies' by Hannah Sutter. She explains the links & how LC works.

Okay doke, rant over

 

[exp107]

Oooh another book I have (big fat lies) along with 'only fat people skip breakfast!'

Infact as I stood in Waterstones today looking for one of the Atkins recipe books I realised just how many diet and nutrition books I actually own

 

[StephenP]

make a good fire LOL

 

[Cinta]

Hahaha, I've only got Atkins books, but until 14 years ago I had a house full of Slimming World stuff. I was a consultant. That made a good fire Stephen

 

[i'mgonnabeskinnybyXmas]

Missy, I was going to watch it, but think I'll give it a miss now!

 

[NewDawn]
