LOSING (WATER) WEIGHT (THE ATKINS WAY)
The following information was taken from the website,
http://www.atkinsfacts.org/
"CARBOHYDRATES BURN CLEANLY. In fact the name
carbohydrate basically means 'CARBON (dioxide) and
WATER,' which is what PLANTS MAKE CARBS OUT OF, and WHICH
IS ALL THE WASTE PRODUCT ONE IS LEFT WITH when one's body
uses them as fuel. During the first few weeks of the
Atkins Diet, the so-called 'induction' phase, a person is
forced to live off so much grease that, lacking the
PREFERRED FUEL -- CARBOHYDRATES -- their body goes into
STARVATION mode.
"In biochemistry class, doctors learn that fat 'burns in
the flame of carbohydrate.' When one is eating enough
carbohydrates, fat can be completely broken down as well.
But when one's body runs out of carb fuel to burn, its
only choice is to burn fat inefficiently using a pathway
that produces TOXIC byproducts like acetone and other so-
called 'ketones.'
The acetone escapes through the lungs -- giving Atkins
followers what one weight-loss expert calls 'rotten-apple
breath' -- and the other ketones have to be excreted by
the kidneys. We burn fat all the time; it's only when we
are carbohydrate DEFICIENT and have to burn fat
ineffectively that we go into what's called a state of
ketosis, defined as having so much acetone in our blood
it noticeably spills out into our lungs or so many other
ketones they spill out into our urine.
"To wash these TOXIC waste products out of our system our
body uses a lot of WATER. The diuretic effect of low-carb
diets can result in people losing a gallon of water in
pounds the first week. This precipitous early weight loss
encourages dieters to continue the diet even though they
have lost mostly water weight and the state of ketosis
may be making them nauseous or worse. If one wanted to
try to lose water weight, sweating it away in a sauna may
be a more healthful way.
"The Director of Yale University's Center for Eating and
Weight Disorders explains the miracle formula used by
diet books to become bestsellers for over a century now:
'easy, rapid weight loss; the opportunity to eat your
favorite foods and some scientific 'breakthrough' that
usually doesn't exist.' The rapid loss of initial WATER
WEIGHT seen particularly on LOW CARB DIETS has an
additional sales benefit. By the time people gain back
the weight, they may have already told all their friends
to buy the book, and the cycle continues. This has been
used to explain why LOW CARB diets have been such 'CASH
COWS' for publishers over the last 140 years. As one
weight loss expert notes, 'Rapid water loss is the $33-
billion diet gimmick."

The terrorist mission of Jesus stated in the Christian bible:
"Think not that I am come to send peace on earth:
I came not so send peace, but a sword.
"For I am come to set a man at variance against his
father, and the daughter against her mother, and the
daughter in law against her mother in law.
"And a man's foes shall be they of his own
household.
