Appetite suppressants?

[healthinfo6]

Dear Soroush,
I'll have to ask him next visit to my psychic medium.
I know he seemed to follow it when I saw him as a patient in the 80s and 90s but no idea since as I don't have his personal medical history except for what was printed in that article.
More importantly, he made sure as his patient you followed his diet and maintained ketosis as he was aware of how bad carbs are to someone like me who showed early on that I was to become diabetic as having reactive hypoglycemia, hyperinsulinemia and problems with carbs since young. Last time I saw him alive he strongly admonished me for having eaten a nectarine before the visit, thus not showing ketones on testing.
Maybe Atkins, like me, experienced problems when aging. I can't lose the weight I used to and have to be even more strict with the diet due to advancing insulin resistance and overall miasmatic progression.
Whether he followed his diet or not is immaterial to what he accomplished and shouldn't be used as a reason to detract from that and dismiss it as a farce as the quackbuster does to homeopathy.
He brought early awareness of the harm of high carb diets, refined sugars, HFCS, grains and benefits of low carb dieting, ketogenic dieting and much research has been published on that.
As homeopaths, we promote best health practices as we know and believe but are not all saints and may have our own vices.
Regards,
Susan

Contrast with another famous diet person: Dr Nicholas Perricone.

Dr. Perricone is not known for weight loss diets as much as Atkins and others because his focus has been on diet for skin appearance, especially wrinkles.
Perricone may talk about the INSIDE but he's busy selling the OUTSIDE with his VERY expen$ive skin care products, many over $75 each and offers lots of them.
He looks good from all the products he's using, When I detox, eat no red meat, drink green tea and take healthy oils, my skin radiates too.
Do you agree with his "patented" product research? Have you verified there was any research?

We all age. It is how we age that we have a choice about, and which Atkins had wrong and Perricone has right:-)

Any decent diet advocates low carbs for occasions other than right before a marathon. Atkins had benefits by having high protein too but he did not have the rest right and his health crashed as a result.
You scoff at Perricone, but the proof of the pudding is in the eating. The skin is a measure of internal health, no more no less. Hahnemann says the same - we heal from the inside to the outside. That last item to heal is the skin. It is only well and good looking after the insides are well.
Perricone's skin products are expensive but they are based on good research. I do not buy them. I did buy his books - twice. My kids tossed them in a purge event and I re-bought them. That may tell you what I think of the information in them.
His lectures locally on cortisol were a major help in my health progress. He speaks very fast and gets in at least two or three sentences where a normal person has one, each jam packed with information. His research is most impressive and he lives by it. It shows - with or without skin products.
The best way to get rid of pain for example, is to remove inflammation - exactly what Perricone's research is about and what his eating plans advocate. "The Pericone Promise" is the first book I used. He did not break the promise. Anti-inflammatory eating is extremely beneficial - in every aspect. I customized for me, but cannot think of a better princple to go by in planning how to eat for health.
That's due to inflamamtion. The Atkins diet and ketosis also, promotes inflammation.
You are feeding it, not beating it.
I agree with Soroush. His own health was poor. That says a lot whether he followed his diet or not. In fact his diet is NOT healthy overall. It has low carb, high protein - that's fine but the anti-inflammatory part was not only missing but his approach was inflammatory. A research finding by the way - not a quackwatch invention.

Namaste,
Irene

He researches what causes inflammation internally - and lectures on it - I was SO lucky to spot his lectures on Cortisol at the pbs lecture hall here soe years back, and managed to attend. they were not well advertized, but the place was packed. He writes boks on how to eat to overcome inflamamtion at the cel level - he's not talking about immune system inflammatory responses bu cell level health. That's why his entire body looks/is healthy - nothing to do with skin products.
It sure is a good way to make money.
I was not talking about that - only about how to get a healthy body using his books.
Really? His healthy build is from skin products? Do explain?
Yes. There is a lot of research - the skin products are a sideline product range from his anti-inflamamtory research (and may well finance it) and yes his products contain valid ingredients. Not cortisone etc. Nothing suppressive.

His medical lectures which I have attended, make total sense.
Namaste,
Irene
