You'd be better off using one of Mr. X's Keto diets. There at the top of the page in the sticky's.

Tell her to stay away from the diet. I heard on the radio a while back, that he had a heart-attack, go figure
anyways, tell the "bitch" to eat red-meats, steak, chicken, bacon, etc.
It's pretty much a straigh Keto diet and chances are she will lose the will and start eating carbs and then just get fatter.
IMO, i believe Cardio in the AM, Low-carbs(complex) in the morning, low-fat, moderate protein would be much better. She needs to do cardio 4-5 times/week @45-50 minutes and do the "fat burner" program. I personally go on the tread everymoring and turn the incline all the way up and walk at 3.3mph and just listen to the radio and before i know it's done.
she needs to work her way to 4-5 times/week, thought.

The Heart Attack wasn't a result of the diet, but a congenital defect.

"They" would do anything to destroy the huge media attention that low carb diets have been getting lately. They have been trying to discredit him for years now. No reason for them to stop just because he's dead.
I seriously doubt his diet had anything to do with his death or his heart problems before that. The most recent research report finding that was on the news was that low carb dieters had better cholesterol levels than low fat dieters. Give it a try sometime: do a low fat diet for 3 months then get your cholesterol levels checked. Then do a low carb diet for 3 months and then get the cholesterol readings. Usually they drop only with removing refined carbs from the diet.
In all honesty after the induction period on the atkins diet you pretty much just eliminate refined carbs, but you can eat greens when you get to the maintenance phase. So unless they can prove that eating refined carbs is healthier than not eating them the diet is pretty sound.
Massbuild, tell this girl not to go on atkins unless she is willing to do it for the rest of her life and according to the book (or website). The problem wtih a lot of peopel who try low carb for awhile is that they gain the weight back when they stop the diet. same as with any diet. plus most people think it is just a high protein diet and eat only meat and never eat any greens. that's not the atkins diet. there are very specific instructions about that. if this girl is so lazy that she won't even read the book or find out how to do it right then she is an accident waiting to happen.

He died do to complications from a fall during the last Snowstorm in April that hit New York. I think his age might play a bigger role too, considering he was in his mid 70's.

Dude chill.
It was major news about his fall and subsequent death. Noone ever said that he didn't have heart problems. Hell the man himself said that he had heart problems, but they were not diet related. And who said that they recommend a CKD over Atkins because of the free day? I certainly didn't. I just recommended something that was a tad bit better than atkins.

what is wrong with choosing a free day over no free day, it has lots of benefits to the diet as well as something to look forward thats shortterm, instead of in 3 months. Its hard for some people to stay motivated for long periods of time, that refeed day makes it easier.
Atkins is best for those people; untrained individuals have a low tolerance for insulin, they put on fat more easily with carbs than those who regularly work out.massbuild said:
She should definitly do it but - as has been said before - she has to be aware to do it for the rest of her life! I am on it for a year now and feel great but always when i went over ~100g carbs a day i regained the fat in no time.
Atkins is also good for those bodybuilders who don't tolerate carbs. i have worked my ass off for years and never got decent abs; now i am ripped throughout the year but also have the same muscle mass and strength i had in my fat carb days.

whatever diet she chooses to do, she should research it first before jumping into it! most of the diets are outlined in detail in books.
and regarding your atkins diet - NO, she can't eat as much as she wants. it doesn't work like that. she should eat under her daily maintenance levels to lose weght/fat.

Millie, have you read the book? in the first chapter he says the reason the diet works is because people can eat as much as they want.
He also talks about one guy who would eat 10 eggs with bacon for breakfast.
during the induction phase you are supposed to eat until you are full.
I can't find anywhere in the book where it says you are supposed watch how many callories are consumed

nope, i haven't read the book. but this is irrelevant to this discussion. it doesn't matter what the book says. a person cannot lose fat if they consume more calories than they expend - basic laws of thermodynamics.
what usually happens on this diet is that since fat makes a person feel more satiated and due to the low and steady levels on insulin (because of the lack of carbs), it also leads to a decrease in appetite. therefore, they naturally eat less.
as far as i know, the induction phase is 2 weeks. it is meant to let your body adjust to not eating carbs. whatever weight you lose in that period is mostly water. and like i already said, it is easier to feel full because of all the fat you are consuming.

bro's, i tried Atkins diet, was strict for 3 weeks, and then figured fuck ill have a free weekend (parties n shit) thursday night i was 178 pounds, monday night climbed up to 185 pounds. Nost was prolly water, but the point is that this diet leaves very little room for error, i said fuck it IMO its just easier to eat balanced meals and do a drop of cardio.

Millie, it is relevant to this discussion, what do you mean that it does'nt matter what the book says? it certainly does matter what the book says. the book tells you how to do the diet. you have'nt even read the book and you feel qualified to post about it?
of course a person can't lose fat if they consume more calories than they burn. but don't come on here saying this how to do the akins diet because that is flat out wrong

so then what exactly is your problem? first you said i was wrong when i stated that a person can't eat as much as they want and lose weight on the atkins diet. now you are contradicting yourself by saying that "of course a person can't lose fat if they consume more calories than they burn."
also, for your information i haven't posted anything about how to do the diet. i only said that in order for this diet (and any other diet for that matter) to be effective a person has to count calories.

1) You come on here telling this person that they should research it first when you obviously have'nt done your research
2) you state "NO, she can't eat as much as she wants" when the book clearly states that in order for the "Akins Diet" to work you must eat until you are full and not to count calories.
3) you say "nope, i haven't read the book. but this is irrelevant to this discussion. it doesn't matter what the book says".
how is this irrelavant to this discussion when the title of the thread is "htf do you do an atkins diet?"
4) you say "for your information i haven't posted anything about how to do the diet. i only said that in order for this diet (and any other diet for that matter) a person has to count calories".
this is completely wrong, the reason the diet works for so many people is because you don't count calories on this diet, and you eat as much as you want. if you don't believe me read the book and show me where I am wrong.
I am simply stating what the book says
5) you need to read the book and stop posting about something you know nothing about. you are not helping anyone

1. i have done more than enough research into the type of diet i am on. this is all i said - do a lot of research before you begin a diet.
2. from the atkins website (rules of induction) - "Adjust the quantity you eat to suit your appetite, especially as it decreases. When you're hungry, eat the amount that makes you feel satisfied, but not stuffed."
to further quote from the atkins site FAQ on the diet - "The Atkins Nutritional ApproachTM counts grams of carbohydrates instead of calories....... Although you do not need to count calories, it is certainly possible to consume too many calories even if your carb intake is on target. If you are losing weight, there is no need to concern yourself with counting calories. However, if you are unable to lose weight or actually regain weight lost, one possibility is that you are taking in more calories than you expend through exercise, thermogenesis (the body's own heat production) and other metabolic functions."
so, there is no mention that the diet works only because you eat until you are full
as you can see, it clearly states something completely different.
3. again, i didn't give advice on how to do the diet. i only said that you need to watch your calories. and this applies to any diet, be it atkins, isocaloric, high carb, whatever.
4. see #2 above
5. interesting. maybe you need to read more about diets and nutrition to understand the basics before you get into flaming others.

Millie, with your #2 post you just verified what I said, that you are wrong, so why beat a dead horse?
