WHERES THE RESISTANCE EXERCISE ELEMENT?
In Dr. Atkins’ book, “The Age Defying Diet Revolution,” he does encourage people to exercise with resistance, but that encouragement is limited to one paragraph. In his previous work, Dr. Atkins Diet Revolution, there is virtually no mention of resistance exercise! He offers resistance exercise in his “new” book only as a vehicle to resisting the diseases of aging. He makes no mention of lean body mass and its link to metabolism. This omission allows for a host of variables that may or may not lead to unpredictable metabolic changes. Any diet or weight loss program that fails to consider body composition (fat vs. lean body mass) in measuring its effectiveness is going to generate random conclusions at best.
