Atkins diet

What's missing, please? So first of all, I suspect you're losing a lot of weight, Mike.

And a lot of people don't know this, but if you're losing weight from any diet, whether it's keto carnivore, ketovor, low carb, Banting, Atkins, or Weight Watchers, or Jenny Craig, if you're losing a lot of weight quickly, you're going to lose hair.

Your body sees it as a stressful situation.

It doesn't know that you're getting healthy.

later? I was always trying, but nothing ever stuck.

I tried everything, from keto diets to Atkins diets to Weight Watchers and going to the gym.

It wasn't like I was balls to the wall with it or anything like that, but I was trying to make some kind of an effort while trying to just live a normal life, being a father, married, and whatever.

I had some success here and there with little things, but nothing ever stuck.

But now we know.

An anti-Atkins low protein diet extends lifespan and flies.

Now Atkins, bless his soul, at least got low carbohydrate known.

His deal was just low carbohydrate and pretty much anything else went.

Because this may not be the driving force anymore.

So pretty soon after, around the 1990s, there was a big movement towards low carbohydrate diets, which was popularized really by the Atkins diet.

The American Heart Association had been providing dietary advice for many, many years.

And what they had always advised was a low-fat diet, since the 1960s at least.

So they're suggesting a range of 25% to 35% total fats and low cholesterol.

The problem was that it didn't really work because, you know, despite that advice, people continue to gain weight.

So low carbohydrate diets have actually been around for many years.

So the first published report of low carbohydrate diets was in 1936.

And when I started doing regular colon cleansing and parasite cleansing and seeing what came out of my body, It's like, holy smokes, like when your body's that toxic, how can you ever be healthy? And that just changed everything for me.

And then I started doing my first, it was Atkins back then.

So I was doing my Atkins diet back in like 96, 97.

And, you know, doing low carb.

I actually wrote a book about that back then, about, you know, how to do a low carb diet and everything.

It's kind of like frozen in time from there, you know, and that's, that's what I experienced.

So fast forward, you go on with your life, um, You've – and you said you made some mention that over the years you tried Atkins.

Was there a reason you tried Atkins diet over the years?

Yeah.

The reason I tried Atkins was just because I tried everything else to get rid of this kind of beer belly slash wheat belly that I was always carrying around, you know.

I was one of these kind of – Maybe it was because of the alcohol or maybe it's just the addiction to bread.

But I was one of these guys that was always, you know, not thin but also not fat, but I had this middle.

And so I'm self-conscious of that all the time.

We've all been desperately searching for something outside of ourselves to control what we eat because, God forbid, we learn how to make better choices.

We went from low-fat to low-carb to Atkins to Weight Watchers to Keto to intermittent fasting to counting calories to counting macros to eating during certain fucking hours of the day.

Every one of them came packaged differently.

But the basic promise was always the same.
