Phemomena-


I can't believe that he would post that, like you said, to someone recovering from an eating disorder. That was just plain wrong.

You're correct, Keto's do have their place though I don't see myself ever utilizing it. It's amazing how many lives that I've seen screwed up over "The Atkins Diet." I used to work at GNC, and it's amazing how much money people would spend buying his products. They would be all these seriously overweight people, who thought that eating close to 0 carbs all the time was going to cure their health. These people wouldn't exercise, they would just hear about the diet part, and jump on the bandwagon. I heard a countless number of stories about people going on the diet for about a month, as a "quick fix." They'd go back to eating what they considered a normal diet (yeah right) and gain all the weight back, plus 10 or so pounds.

Keto isn't for everyone, and personally I don't see it as a long term weight loss/maintenance diet. Like you stated, it's good for pre-contest, or a situation where you need to drop a few pounds of fat in a hurry. I just don't see it as a feasible solution for lifetime living, but I'm not going to deny that there are people who will stick to it for life, and it does work to get the weight off of you.

Actually I live in Hamilton. I moved from Montreal a year ago to attend University.

You took the words right out of my mouth, Humanshell.

The Keto diet is very attractive to some ppl because of the initial fluid loss. I'm not saying it doesn't work, but the rebound is often terrible. I believe that staying in Ketosis(starvation really) all the time is a very unhealthy and stupid thing to do.

[BigAndy69]

I know it's a hellhole, but at least I got a scholarship

Do you two think that Canada would be a good place for me to visit next year? I live in Texas, am 21, and have been here my whole life. The only place I have traveled to was Mertle Beach, North Carolina, for 10 days. I'm thinking of going to Canada for about a month next year. I hear it's a beautiful country.

Canada is nice, if you're looking for scenery, visit Alberta, and British Colombia (or the east cost), if you're looking for fun, culture and a seeing a great city, come to Toronto... if you live in texas, i wouldn't suggest coming in the winter, most southerners can't stand our winters... our summers get real hot too (100+ degrees in Toronto, very humid).. i'd suggest May or Sept./Oct (fall is really pretty when the leaves change colours and all that stuff )

Yes, I live in Texas....but I'm one of those guys that you will find outside in shorts and a t-shirt when our weather drops to freezing. If I wear pants, I usually wear opened toe sandles. I love feeling cold.
