for those of you wondering about vegan-atkins diet

[Guest guest]

I'm now moderating a vegetarian weightloss group on ediets.com, and some have asked about the Atkins' diet on a vegetarian/vegan diet on the aktin's plan. i don't know much about the atkin's diet in detail, but with a few modification's it sounds like, at least for lacto-ovo's, it is possible to modify the atkins' diet to your own specifications.

How nice of you to invite us (is that it?) to your list - I don't recall

discussion of Atk*ns diets on Vegetarian Slimming lately, although there was

some chat about it (mostly against it) some time ago. I think we all

understand that Atk*ns is probably not the best way to go, but indeed it

does seem possible to 'do' a form of the Atk*ns diet as a veggie - although

cutting back on fruits and vegetables to stay within the carbohydrage limit

sounds kinda counterproductive. On Vegetarian Slimming we rather believe in

a balanced and healthy way of eating and Atk*ns is a name I usually avoid. I

am not meaning to begin a controversy, however - but then I didn't raise the

subject either!!! *lol*

 

Best of luck with your list ;=) I know how dedicated you are to the

vegetarian lifestyle, and it is nice to know that a list is in the hands of

those who really care.

 

Chat later!

 

Best love,

 

Pat ;=)

Megan, thank you so much for posting this and how timely!!! I am

committed to choosing a weight-loss/nutrition ediucation program

tomorrow. I liked that ediets had vegetarian options. My neighbors

and some of my friends have had great success with Atkins yet they

all crow about how you can eat all the meat (and fat) that you

want. Blech! So, I'm glad to know there is an alternative. I want

to lose the twenty pounds I gained while being a sales rep (and then

unemployed...hm, guess there's a better fit for me! pun intended!).

 

Thanks for sharing this.

I am totally concurring with Noel. IMHO, there's no such thing as

the best diet regime or one-for-all diet. Moderation is definitely

the key to good health besides keeping fit.

 

Every diet has its pros and cons depending on one's age, gender,

body type, blood type, genetics and activities. Of course, I exclude

socio-economic factors like rich or poor, rural or urban and so

forth because it is situational reasoning. Diet would be the least

of consideration when you are penniless.

 

Moderation is the crucial cataylst in well-being whether in food

intake or exercise.

diet but personally, I don't hold much faith in it since the man who

invented the diet died from obesity. Yes, Atkins died from obesity

for those of you who don't know yet. After hearing that, I began to

question just how good his idea of a diet really was. I mean he

wouldn't have been obese if the diet was working right? Just my

opinion though. Maybe the diet works for some people but for long

term living, I don't personally think it's all that good. I believe

in moderation no matter what it is you're consuming. I think that

people can eat carbs as long as they do so in moderation. From what

I understand, people on the Atkins diet are required to eat things

only low in carbs and not necessarily carbs in moderation. Now I

could be wrong but this is what I thought that diet was all about.

Please reply back when you get the chance and let me know if this is

in fact correct or not. Thanks:)
