Guest guest Posted June 5, 2000 Report Share Posted June 5, 2000 /, No flames intended. Actually the Atkins diet is not too bad SHORT term for someone who needs to lose some weight in a hurry (like to qualify for Dancing with Dr. R.), but in the long run it isn't good for your body. Some homeopathic physicians really advocate a short term very low carb diet to help ride the body of candida albicans (yeast) to help restore the body's natural flora from too many antibiotics and refined sugars/flours. BUT I wouldn't recommend it in the long run for a healthy body. , there are links on the www.clos.net site to Dr. Ornish's info. Just go to clos.net and search for Ornish. I bought one of his books and it is great. I guess one thing to keep in mind on Atkins vs Ornish is that all of Atkins " numbers " are self funded and his corporation is totally for profit, whereas the indepentant research on Dr. Ornish's program has always been published in medical journals and Dr. Ornish's affliations are non-profit.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2000 Report Share Posted June 6, 2000 Dear Donna, Thank you for your information! I too have been on the Atkins Diet and after about a week (if that) if I never look at an egg or a salad or a peice of meat it will not be too soon...LOL. I have tried the Carbohydrate Addicts Diet, which is a modified Dr. Atkins and it wasn't too bad. I lost about 40 pounds with that one. But, Like all the others I loose and then gain back more...sigh. I will check out the Ornish diet...Thank you for your reply.
