platy, aloha
hey...perhaps you have me mistaken for someone else...i never advocated the atkins or any other diet plan to you.
although, several of atkins 'observations of fact' are indeed correct...his original point of nutritional questioning
came from his medical practice as a cardiologist who noted frequent incidence of diabetes amongst his customers.
if you read more here, I am one of those heretic, non-believers that calls their NSD diet a religion not science.
the 'diet plan of a quack' is a non plan that lets you get to being 60-80 lbs overweight and then lets you think
that walking from the car to mcdonalds is 'exercise'...just plain coddling fiddle faddle.
now many, many years ago i weighed 150 kg...so i do know a fair bit about this subject...i am personally
one of those once 'morbidly obese' who lost greater than 100 lbs and kept it off for 30 years.
what i can't get over is the ' Minister of Funny Walks ' who insists on the pedometer.
have you had a basal metabolism test ? how many kcal's per hour do you burn at rest?
and, again, i humbly suggest the persuit of the question of a hernia as the source of that original
complaint of muscle spams around/under the diaphram...this is something common and fixable.
all the best
aloha Ben
