Why is the Atkins diet not good for BB's?
My brother is a natural BB. And he is VERY Anti-Steroid. So he thinks all of us BB's on the net are a bunch of dumb meat heads. He came up to me (Bragging) and told me that he lost 6lbs in 6 days on the Atkins so far. And I always thought Atkins was really another fade diet and it wouldn't work well for BB's. But i never really read alot on it though. So he tells me about for the next 2 wks all he can have is 20 grams of carbs a day/ed. I was like WHAT! I told him he better put a cheat meal in there once a week and he said no cause that'll slow down the fat process. I told him that he's losing muscle and fat. And that diet wasn't intended for BB's that lift heavy 5x a wk. I told him he's loseing muscle also and he told me, "Well i think Dr.Atkins knows more about diet than BB's seems how he's a doctor.
So will somone tell me exactly why BB's shouldn't use the Atkins diet? I know 1 thing, cause he'll lose muscle. Because of starving the muscle of carbs and never a carbs up day. But he doesn't think the diet is outdated. But i want a vet to tear the atkins apart. So i can tear my brother a new one! lol He pissed me off!
