    Gee, what did our …
    Gee, what did our ancestors do 100,000+ years ago? Eat rice and yams all day and surgically take the fat out of the food they killed and count their calories? No. They ate fat and protein in abundance and obviously did not die of heart attacks proving your idiotic teachings, incorrect. I hate people who advocate high carb diets and look down on anything else. You can in fact eat all the fat and protein you want b/c the human body is evolved to process those for energy, and it keeps insulin low.

  2. I go low Carb (Meat …
    I go low Carb (Meat, Cheese, Water) for only a day or two at a time. I’ve been seeing great results. I also don’t eat simple carbs anymore at all. I also have been switching up my workouts. I LOST 38 POUNDS IN 3 MONTHS! I think I finally have the healthy lifestyle thing down. I used to try and lose as much weight as fast as possible but ALWAYS gain it back. Now I KNOW that slow weight loss is the most benificial in the long run.

  3. the problem with …
    the problem with low carb diets is that its hard to maintain your weight loss i know eat whole frain carbs and I almost never get hungry and I have lost a lot of weight with that and exersize. I dont really believe in diets like atkins I did it and lost weight but couldnt maintain it for long but now aI have been a normal size for five years

  4. how do you know …
    how do you know your body is not using muscle as an energy source, in othe words burning muscle?

  5. if your lessen the …
    if your lessen the amount of your calorie through exercise your fat will burn

  6. I eat carbs in the …
    I eat carbs in the form of Veggies. Carbs from bread/pasta…especially white flour types…I have a hard time with. Every body is different. The fact of the matter is that the American diet is filled with junk calories and an excess of Carb calories. Eat clean and eat often.

  7. The science doesn’t …
    The science doesn’t make sense because you don’t know why the body burns fat stored when you eat lots of fat? Dude, don’t worry about it, you don’t look like much of a scientist to me! It has taken 100,000 years of evolution for our species to exist today and eating a high carb diet just throws the system out of wack. Everyone has a different carb threshold where this becomes a problem.
    Simple carbs and trans fats were not around 100 years ago.

  8. i think you missed …
    i think you missed the point. hes saying dont restirct your self cause diets liek this fail… Every one says this you burn more cals than you take in. theres no other way to loose weight.

  9. sigh…if this guy …
    sigh…if this guy knew anything about biology, biochem or nutrition he would know how the body chooses between the two fats and why you still lose fat mass when you consume an amount of fat. You’ve also got to be a bit crazy to believe that eating a high fat diet (a la atkins) is actualyl beneficial for your weight or health. Sillyness.

  10. you mentions …
    you mentions caloric input versus caloric output to lose weight, but what about losing bodyfat?

  11. You can tell this …
    You can tell this guy has never read Dr. Atkins book. If you have not read the book don’t call it Atkins people!

  12. So, you have to go …
    So, you have to go through life not eating things that are bad for you! Sounds good to me!

  13. ‘that would suck!’
    ‘that would suck!’

  14. The one thing that …
    The one thing that is truly missing is that on low carb diets such as Atkins…one IS allowed to eat carbs…not the processed kind, but in the form of veggies! After a 2 week induction, one can incorporate MORE veggies and add some fruit. It goes on further, but this is where my soapbox ends. There is nothing wrong with a low carb lifestyle, especially if you get your carbs from natural sources….NOT FROM A BOX! :)

  15. There is a small …
    There is a small metabolic advantage to low-carb diets because fat and protein take more calories to burn for energy than carbs. So you CAN eat a little more and still lose weight.

  16. I’m been eating …
    I’m been eating low-carn for over 3 1/2 years, I lost 65 pounds, have so far kept it off, and no – carbohydrates are not necessary. There is no such thing as an “essential carbohydrate.” Somehow, I have plenty of energy to get through my 90 minutes gym sessions (weights and cardio).

    you must be rich then…10 steaks a day lol.

  20. Hes totally wrong, …
    Hes totally wrong, I remember going on a low carb diet and was eating up to 10 steaks a day, 8 eggs, cheese, plates of bacon, sour cream and I still lost weight.

  21. Please note, that …
    Please note, that while the above may have worked, it was not the proper way of doing low-carb. This is the type of behavior that give ammo to anti-low-carbers and people who rip on our way of eating. VEGETABLES ARE ESSENTIAL. As far as the argument in the video, this commenter’s experience, while a HORRIBLE way to be healthy, demonstrates that the argument in the video is specious.

  22. Good Calories Bad …
    Good Calories Bad Calories. Gary Taubes.

  23. Steve I used to …
    Steve I used to believe as you did. But after being on a healthy calorie controlled diet and gaining it all back after a starvation diet, I was forced to reconsider low carb. From seeing all the low carb books at the supermarket many others seemed to have come to the same conclusion.

    Steve you are …
    Steve you are omitting the state of ketosis. To say that people lose weight on low carb diets strictly because of a limited number of calories is just plain incorrect. Also, eating low carb does not mean you can never eat bread, rice, potatoes, etc. You are trying to spin the debate from low carb to NO CARB. Big difference.

    Many studies have …
    Many studies have shown that diet composition is not nearly as important as the total number of calories. If you want to eat no carbs that fine. But people need to understand that weight loss occurs because of a lack of calories in the form of carbohydrates.
