AtkinsFacts.org “Distorts” Biochemistry

A number of objectionable statements appear on the AtkinsFacts.org website regarding Atkins…

  • Water Loss. You distort your explanation of the biochemistry of carbohydrate metabolism in order to incorrectly associate the weight loss achieved through the ANA [Atkins Diet] with being mere “water loss.” However, numerous studies have demonstrated that fat mass is lost on an Atkins-type program as long as calories are adequate.

In what way did we distort our explanation? AtkinsFacts.org never argued that all weight loss was from water. Please review the Losing (Water) Weight Weight”) section.
