for the last say month or 2, ive just tried to eat food with the most protein, least fat and least carbs. and ive seen results quick. so im sure if i keep it up for a long while itll be great.
Mabey i'm miss understanding. Are you saying you don't take in any carbohydrates ? Or very little? Because I may be fairly new to this but I know that carbs fuel our bodies with energy. There also incredably healthy and it helps keep us hydrated and even helps fight off colds, etc. I mean fruits and vegtable along with many other things ? Iono if just protiene is the way to go at ALL. Atkins diet sure isn't healthy.

This isn't entirely true. Maybe for the majority of Americans who attempt this diet it isn't healthy, but that's because they do it with total disregaurd for everything else. But every diet(or almost every diet)focused on losing weight, is built around this "low/no carb" idea. You need fat to make test, and you need protein to build/retain muscle, so what's left to cut out? When you "eat healthy" you pretty much cut out soda (sugar), candy (sugar), white bread (simple carbs), etc..Aquantis said:
everybody has something different to add which is great but I say there is more than one way to have sex.........right? so doesn't that apply to everything else? including weightlifting. I say if gatorade works for you then drink it. just count it as a carb in your journal.
Mmmm, I wouldn't say that. Every fad diet, perhaps, but carbs are very important part of your diet, and in a healthy diet, actually make 50% - 60% of your daily caloric intake. Carbohydrates are your primary energy source, and the ONLY energy source for your brain.
It is true, however, that in America people get MORE carbs than they need. But then, ti's also true that they get more of everything than they need. In fact, and it may surprise you to hear, many nutritionists believe that there is far too much protein in the American diet as well. Needless to say, there's too much fat.
