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

weight and improve their eating
habits, but she doesn't think it is a
good long-term 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

on natural resources.
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."
