I wondered if there was a relation between gallbladder removal and weight gain. I had mine out in May and by October I had gained 20 lbs! Immediately after the surgery, I realized I could never overdo fats again. So it actually has curbed overeating rich foods, however, I still have an unexplained weight gain. Adding more exercise, and cutting out even more calories has not made any difference. Perhaps the problem has to do with how efficiently (or inefficiently) our systems digest foods without the gallbladder... ©†ƒ……•™¼‡_Original_Message_¾€š½ž¢«»¬ï°© I wondered if there wa ...

I know this is an old message but I have to respond because the content of Davee’s post is so thoroughly bogus. I have done Atkins for years now - since 1995. It is the only diet which has stabilized a lifelong problem with hypoglycemia. In addition, unlike the ther members of my family, I am the only one who has not become diabetic. I would love to see the citations for all of Dr Atkins’ supposed problems, Davee :-) , particularly his passing out at lectures, etc. :-) Do you have any? Oh dear - of course you don’t.

In all the ’’atkins’’ books the warnings are clear,’’consult your physician first’’ if you have one you can trust. Seriously though, if you have a pre existing condition, like many people who are seeking out alternative health care have, you can hardly blame Atkins for that. Appendicitis and other digestive disorders don’t just appear in two weeks.although i imagine any extreme change to your system could exacerbate your pre existing condition. Or maybe your not a ’’protein type’’. I don’t believe Atkins meant for everybody to eat this way,but he had to destroy the myths that protein and f ...

Scarlet, Forgive me for responding so late, I just discovered this forum today. I only hope that you check back and read this. From the symptoms you are describing, and from reading your other posts, it really sounds like you have Celiac Sprue, also called celiac disease. It’s an intolerance to Gluten, the protein in Wheat, Barley, and Rye, and it’s relatively common, about 1 in 133 people have it. Your symptoms are consistent with Celiac disease, and you should really have your doctor test you for it. Doctors don’t think of this, because they used to consider it a rare ...

As one who has done the Atkins diet (actually Protein Power, but there’s not much difference), and as one who has been in moderate ketosis and lost 30 lbs in 3 months (20lbs in the first month), I can say that low-carb dieting is great for losing weight fast. That said, it’s not something I would do long-term, and in fact, I wouldn’t recommend it even short term. Reducing carbs in general I think is good, but eliminating them is not so good, especially if you eliminate fruits and vegetables in the process. Being on the Atkins diet is what I think brought me to this forum. By that I ...

Yes, a growing body of evidence does indicate that a rapid rise in insulin can contribute to many problems. However, low glycemic foods do NOT cause a rapid rise in insulin in anyone. That is what glycemic index specifically measures. There are many factors that determine GI. Processing is but one. Some starches become gelatinous upon digestion. Even though they have a high fiber content, they still have a high GI. Surprisingly sugar and pasta have moderate to low GI’s while brown rice has a high GI. GI is the most important factor in considering a carbohydrates impact on blood sugar and i ...

Hi PTRee, ”Fiber husk is very beneficial and is an essential part of a colon cleansing program...but the grains do not have to be ingested to obtain this benefit.

Hi PTRee, If you are into colonics it is no wonder why you deny the use of fiber to prevent constipation. No one said that eating like a horse was the way to move stool but keeping the hard rocks of stool from forming is a big help. Bread and pasta are big culprits in constipation and a slow perisistalysis is another because the longer stool remains in the colon tha more dehydrated and HARDER it becomes. IBS is mainly a self inflicted condition unless there is an underlying neurological problem in the gut. I am not speaking from the pulpit... The attached article quotes SEVEN s ...

Hi Daveeee, When you say unsanitary conditions, I agree... but what do people get from such conditions? INFECTIONS and what IS now available to treat that? ANTIBIOTICS?
