One of the constant comments is “didn’t low carb die off in 2004?” or “didn’t Atkins Nutrition go bankrupt?” Thе implication is that it was obviously a fad diet, and that all wise people know better now. Besides just simply being fаkе comments, I have been seeing more subscribers lately than еνеr, and my humble video and blog have been receiving more views than еνеr. (Here are the results from 2009 videos – www.network-admin.net Thеrе are still numerous people doing the diet and many starting on a daily basis, and while perhaps it might not be as “hip” or сοοƖ as 2004, people doing Atkins now have better access to more low carb recipes, better support sites, and better communal atmosphere than back in 2004. A lot of the naysayers criticisms have been addressed or proven fаkе since 2004 as well.

When you know that, what difference does it make what any one else does…
Popularity doesn’t necessarily make right. It just has to be right for you. Always excellent to see you around, Bonnie — I really need to catch up on my video watching this week!
Thanks for making these informational videos!
5 stars kent like the vid
No problem, I hope you like the next video I am working on now. It’s another recipe video. It should be up in a day or so.
Thank you, Ang!
I like all your videos. BTW, this is the former XF89. I made a new channel for myself for a new year!
People do not realize that EVERYONE is doing low carb! All you have to do is open a magazine and every celebrity is doing low carb! Like your vids KENT!!
Fantastic video Kent! Looks like a excellent start for 2010 bud!

I really agree Dusty. All is beginning to see the danger of all the “whites” in their diet, and that is one of the first business cut in most well loved diets. Thank you for watching, Dusty, and here’s to a super 2010!
I had seen your exit video on the ancient channel, but I hadn’t seen the new one. I just subbed, so I will be keenly interested to see your first real video on the channel.
I want to see more the NewChistina emerge too.
Thanks Iz! Here’s to an extremely successful new year, and I already have another video in the can (so to speak) ready to be edited and uploaded. It’s my eldest daughter (non-LC’er) favorite Low Carb meal.
Low carb is the only business that has ever worked for me!
The atkins diet has saved my life. There will always be nay sayers and people questioning this diet but the results speak for themselves. If you told a name 15 years ago that you lost all this weight by eating bacon, cheese, pork chops, mayo, butter, sausage, ect and you were never hungry they would have fell off their breakfast table preside over laughing as they choked down 1/2 a grapefruit and a slice of dry toast. Heres to you in 2010 Kent. Thanks for giving us the best gift ever. Your knowledge!
You know the your SHIT! Well spoken.
Thank you for the nice words and for watching! If I can impart any of that wisdom to others, I am glad.
Oh but don’t you know that grapefruit diet was SO healthy for them… Tons and tons of fructose, which has now been linked to the fatty liver disease. I am plotting 2010 is better than 2009 even.
Me too… The other diplomacy might work for others, but for me they just led to frustration.
Another fantastic video as typical … hey, check out this blurb and see if you want to do a video on it:
Glucose restriction extends healthy cellular life span
Prose in an article published online on December 2009 in FASEB Journal, researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) reveal that restricting glucose, a ordinary dietary sugar that is used by the cells for energy, results in extended life for healthy cells and growth inhibition and programmed cell death of precancerous cells
Hey Kent,
I reckon I read everyplace that the Atkins Diet will cause you to cheat on your taxes. Is this right? If so, does this also apply if you tele-file?
Iz
There may be some truth in that. Since starting Atkins, I have so much more energy that I have begun side jobs (like the Windows 7 culture material) and have earned more money. I could see where one might be tempted to cheat on taxes and not report the extra income.
As for telefiling, on Atkins with the excess energy, I personally run my returns all the way to Kansas City to drop them off. It’s a excellent work out plus I get to how my taxes are being used along the way.
Very fascinating … I read how the study was misreported or focused on the calorie restriction aspect and not the glucose restriction aspect in the press. If only the researchers would have done a eucaloric study with glucose restriction, and then we might have some real numbers to brag about.

Make a point soon…
Hi there. I’v started Atkins on Jan 10th. Haven’t seen any majore weight loss yet, but I feel that’s something’s happenning by the way I look and the way my clothes fit. Just one question even if: Atkins says that foods like meat, fish, poultry etc. one can eat LIBERALLY but on the next page where he proives Sample Induction Menu he really tells you HOW MUCH of salmon or beef you can eat. So… if I eat more than 250gr of salmon a day or more than 230gr of beef…. will the diet not work???
The sample menus are just that samples not prescriptive amounts to eat. You are allowed to eat meat liberally in anticipation of satiated. If that takes 1kg of beef, so be it. I have ate 16 oz steaks in my day when I was really hungry and regularly eat over 500g of chicken or beef for a meal.
