The Atkins Deceit

I am an Atkins refugee. I have spent the last two years eating bacon, and steak, and steak, and bacon, and cheese. No carbs, zero, nada, nil, and after an initial loss of 30 pounds, I gained a massive amount of weight back, 50 pounds to be exact. This weight gain occurred after changing to only eating only lean protein consisting of tuna and chicken. Again, no carbs, zero, yet my weight still climbed. Now, as I feast on veggies, fruits, and whole grains, I feel fantastic and my weight is dropping. Little did I know that I was also causing damaging my endiothelium by eating animal protein.  A more detailed explanation is here.

Here is Dr. Esselstyn himself, explaining how, by eating animal protein, you are damaging your endothelium.

By staying on Atkins, not only are you increasing your risk of heart disease tenfold, you may actually end up as I have. Still Fat.
