Atkins Diet: Is it possible for vegetarians?

Remove YT-inserted errant spaces from links below** I have been asked this question two times this week, and I figured if I was getting it from multiple sources ...

Yeah, I don't like factory farms any more than the next person. The humane treatment is important for any resource you are given, but also important is that those other items just taste better. We were never this inundated in our history with refined grains, sugars, in our diet. As for Vegan truth, I think actions speak for themselves, and the more the speak vitriolic speech the more I wonder about the MIT study and "Atkins anger" might not be targeted at the wrong group. Thanks for watching!

I would simply encourage you to keep your mind open as your taste buds shift their preferences. I started in the same boat. I barely ever ate vegetables, and pretty much the only one I ate was corn and potatoes. I am not eating all kinds of vegetables and appreciate them a whole more than ever before. I think the elimination of all the sugar in my diet reawoke tastes buds that had been deadened. Do the best you can, and try some of the low carb conversion recipes-like fauxtatoes or faux rice.

That is why in the video description I personally recommend not soy protein. There are lots of other proteins especially in eggs, nuts, dairy. I am still borderline with what is fine and what is not re: soy; whether or not that is none (including fermented soy sauce) or just excluding soy cheese and soy protein. As for not recommending Atkins; I am of the opinion that restricting or regulating one's carbs has no deleterious effects as prescribed in Atkins.The alternative is too much refined.

Hi Kent, I have been back on Atkins for almost two months now and I have lost 27 pounds so far. I absolutely love your recipe segments and hope to see a lot more in the future. I make the mock danish a lot upon request from family members(even though I can't seem to get mine to look like yours). I also love the cauliflower bisque. I have a spaghetti squash so I can soon try the chicken alfredo. I hit a stall at 23 pounds lost and the stall lasted about 2 weeks, but its going down again.

Kent Altena commented on 29 Aug 2009

Congrats that is fantastic progress in 2 months. That is a significant amount of fat tissue lost or burned up. I hope to have another recipe video next week sometime as my work load settles down, but thanks for encouragement. They are sometimes stressful to make -- ask my wife about the exploding mousse from last time. I hope you like the Alfredo recipe -- the only caution with that is letting the sauce get too thick... If it does add a little cream/water mixture to the dish.

2007 I lost 35 lbs in 5 weeks. Atkins, Running every day, diet pill, not eating much on the Atkins plan. Unsafe the way I went about it I admit. 2011 I'm trying it again, but I'm not going as extreme. And in 2 weeks I've only lost 6-9 pounds. In between those years I've tried several times but crashed. Is it possible for the body to build a tolerance to Atkins and even hold on. Like the body is saying, "NOT THIS TIME!" and holding on to the fat harder?

oooh, I guess Vegan truth doesn;t understand that man was made to eat meat. Meat fish nuts fruit and any edible greens that were available. I can understand having a problem with how meat is butchered and produced, because I do. But any primitive people on this planet are meat eaters ( or bugs or what they can hunt down) this is how we work. Atkins obviously saved your life on many levels and I appreciate your vlogs and info!-Zoe

Kent Altena commented on 26 Jul 2009

Think nothing of it. The question is obviously a valid one, and just because certain community members take it step beyond rational, it doesn't make it any more or less valid a way of eating. I actually find it funny that vegan would have a problem eating like a vegan with more fat in their diet. Maybe this particular was just as much anti-fat as anti-meat. Who knows?

Kent Altena commented on 25 Jul 2009

Alright it is apparent that at least with some vegans you can't have a rational discussion with them. Have fun not eating meat and thereby lowering my costs... I have no idea why vegans are affronted by my way of eating and have no respect for it when all I have done is respect all ways of eating. So welcome to my block file, and have a nice day.

Kent Altena commented on 25 Jul 2009

Just like vegans are known to have bone loss, no muscle tone, and impotent due to lack of meat in their diet. Intelligent people do their own research, look past the myths and popular misconceptions, and discover the truth for themselves. I would encourage you to do the same. You could even watch my misconception series as a good starting point.

You can do a kb diet without any use of meats, it'll be harder mind you. But the only thing you can't do on a kb diet is consume carbs. The only thing you need on ketogenic diets is a lack of insulin. The body will make its own glucose by glucogenosis. You can even be in ketosis while having a high carb count with use of prohoromones and such. .

It's soy protein that's the problem. Soy sauce and other forms of fermented soy are okay in moderation. Most people don't chup down bottles of soy sauce. ;) I have no beef with Atkins at all. I learned a ton on the diet and lost 65 pounds that I have managed to keep off. I still count my carbs and look for lower carb veggies and such. :)

Hootyhaha Hootyhaha commented on 01 Mar 2011

@bowulf I lost 6-7 pounds first week of induction. But I was running every day, and working out in my brazilian jiu jitsu class. However a lot of that weight I also attribute to losing past food weight through.. bathroom breaks, and also losing water weight. Because the next week I stalled big time.

Hootyhaha Hootyhaha commented on 01 Mar 2011

@bowulf I was going for 35 lbs in 5 weeks. I did that in 2007. But I'm 4 years older now, and I guess age plays a factor in it too? Somebody told me that the body can become conditioned to Atkins. Since 2007 I've tried the diet several other times and crashed. Maybe I got my body used to it?

Kent Altena commented on 25 Jul 2009

The author of those websites is associated with PCRM and PETA. Two groups who advocate eating of no meat on philosophical reasons. I have been on this diet for 5 years -- what dangers should I be wary of? Because the last 5 years of annual physicals and blood workups could not be better.

Kent Altena commented on 01 Mar 2011

@hootyhaha Check out my golden shot theory video posted here on Youtube, but let me remind you that 6-9 pounds depending on the amount you need to lose could be fantastic. Most people are geared to lose typically 5-10% of their weight to lose on Induction. How much do you have to lose?

Kent Altena commented on 24 Jul 2009

Absolutely correct, that's why I can never imagine how people say low carb is boring or they can live with the too strict diet. We've been so indoctrinated to accept grains, HFCS, corn starch, dextrose in all our foods that living outside that seems impossible. Thanks for watching!

newbirth35 commented on 27 Jul 2009

Just to add - most people who do veggie Atkins are going to make soy protein a main source of protein and this should be avoided at all costs. Low-carb dairy and eggs is all you are left with then. If a veggie can bend to include fish they are better off and have lots more choices.

Happycripple commented on 25 Jul 2009

You are right there to each is own. But I enjoy the eggs, bacon, cheese, and cream(limited). I get to use, keeps the monster in my stomach from growling. I do not want to screw up the body's balance of sugar that's how you lose hands and stuff. Ignorance chews up my cashews,,,

Kent Altena commented on 29 Jul 2009

3-5 days typically... The mental aspect of Induction Flu can hit some people harder than the physical aspect. It took me about 2-3 weeks to be less irritable but then I again I "lost" a lot of comfort foods and my former way of eating. It was very much worth it though.

Kent Altena commented on 25 Jul 2009

Yep, I will never discount someone else's choice for a more difficult row to hoe, but the result is the same. They can be as successful as we meat-eaters are. It just goes to prove how wrong the media gets us with their mischaracterization of the Diet.

Kent Altena commented on 03 Mar 2011

@hootyhaha Could be less likely to dump the water as quickly or that the more capable to burn fat for fuel, and less likely to simply burn the glycogen. It isn't necessarily less likely to loose, but just more quickly to get acclimated to burn the fat.

Kent Altena commented on 25 Jul 2009

Are you dense? Did you not get the sarcasm? I was making a point and pointing out myths exist for both ways of eating, and that you of all people should be interested in seeking the truth. Sheesh, take your affront and defensiveness somewhere else.

ashley duke commented on 20 Jan 2015

Awesome thanks Hun!!!

Lee Hayward commented on 20 Jan 2015

+ashley duke The best way to add taste to your chicken, meat, fish, etc. without adding calories is with dry spices (salt, pepper, garlic, herb, etc.) you can also add fresh ginger and garlic to add flavor. Another nice low calorie side with your lean meats is mushrooms and onions pan fried with PAM spray.

deadlyninja28 commented on 11 Oct 2014

hey so are sub sandwiches not good for ur diet ?

Lee Hayward commented on 13 Oct 2014

Not if you are trying to cut back on your carbohydrate intake. But they are great when following a high carb / high calorie bulking diet.

Gerson Aragon commented on 10 Oct 2014

Lee do you eat grassfed meat n organic or just regular meat?

Gerson Aragon commented on 10 Oct 2014

Interesting I'm here in BC and we have lots of natural meat butchers and found out my body doesn't react good when I eat regular meat which sucks for me cause grassfed meat bus so expensive here but it's actually worth it and taste better

Lee Hayward commented on 10 Oct 2014

If I can get grassfed meat I'll buy it, but it's not very common here where I live. Most times I just end up eating "normal" meats.
