  1. I have been reading a lot about the Atkins Diet lately and was
    wondering if it is actually good for your body to be on a diet that
    allows you to consume so much meat and cheese products on a daily basis
    while cutting out other traditional forms of nutrition and weight loss
    techniques.

  2. It depends on several factors, for example, I'd stay away from
    homoenized or powdered dairy, or dairy with carrageenan in it. Organic
    eggs are okay if boiled. It's all about oxidative stress. If the food
    enhances this stress, it's a big potential problem, if not, it's okay,
    unless it contains large amounts of something that is a potential
    problem in large amounts but not in small amounts. For example, turkey
    is high in tryptophan. Small amounts of problematic foods cooked
    correctly, while eating foods that are generally okay in large amounts,
    such as organic blueberries, unrefined coconut oil, etc. is the way to
    go. I don't have any interest in the low carb diet myself, though,
    because obesity is usually an inflammatory process gone chronic, and
    carbs or no carbs, it's not a healthy situation. Of course, cutting
    calories dramatically will most likely drop pounds, but you could be
    doing so in a way that creates massive free radical activity in your
    body, which could lead to neurodegenerative "diseases." Smart thing to
    do is to stick with the safe foods and drop the weight gradually as the
    inflammation recedes - it won't happen overnight, but within a few
    months you should see a big difference.

  3. You need to read your Atkins books before embarking on your imagined diet.

    You cannot eat cheese all day, There are limits and you need to eat 1.5 cups
    of vegetables. It is not carb free.
