ATKINS continued from page 1 needs, but carbohydrates are the primary fuel to be metabolized. When an Atkins dieter cuts down on carbohydrate intake, his or her body switches primarily to burning fat. Beth Naylor, a nutrition instructor at Lane Community College, said the Atkins diet is a good temporary way to learn how to eat less white flour and refined sugar, but she would not rec ommend it as a long-term diet. She said a diet so restrictive gets frustrating after a while. "We need a connection with food," she said. "Atkins food doesn't do much to please your connection with the earth." She also said relying on the Atkins brand for carb-friendly foods isn't necessarily healthy, either. "I really object to the Atkins lifestyle," Naylor said. "It's a corpora tion. They're not an objective provider." Senior political science major Bar bara Penney has witnessed her dad and many others follow the Atkins diet. Penne/s father has been doing Atkins for about two years, she said, adding that her father's weight has fluctuated over time but stabilized recently. She said the diet seems to work well for him, but she doesn't like the re strictive eating plan. However, she said it encourages people to lose "I really object to the Atkins lifestyle....

The Atkins Web site states the diet promotes good health and disease prevention by encouraging people to eat natural, sometimes organic, nutri ent-dense foods. The diet also encour ages the use of vitamin and mineral supplements and regular exercise. Also, the site claims the Atkins diet prevents diseases in high-risk dieters, such as diabetes, by lowering carbohy drate intake and insulin production. However, Atkins is not the diet for everyone. Naylor said the kidneys get over worked processing all of the protein the diet proscribes, and she added that people with kidney problems should not try Atkins. Naylor also said a diet like Atkins can be very harmful to the environ ment. She said it isn't environmental ly sound to mass produce farm ani mals and fish to be consumed for protein-based diets, and it is a burden i AND YOU THOUGHT YOU HAD A LOT OF FREEDOM IN COLLEGE.

According to the Atkins site, one common concern people have about the diet is whether eating high levels of protein and fat will affect the body. Penney cited this as one of her concerns with Atkins as well. She finds it hard to believe that a diet promoting the consumption of meats and foods heavy in fat such as mayonnaise and butter will help someone lose weight and maintain the weight loss. "Anything in excess is a bad thing," Penney said. "It's a matter of modera tion and balancing foods."
