Atkins was grossly fat, and had significant heart disease when he died.
Perhaps moderation, and moderation in moderation is the key?
Just saying....
*sigh*
And the Barbra Streisand concerning Dr. Atkin’s death continues...
So I’m wondering...you lose weight but die of heart disease from the high fat diet??
I don’t diet. I have a lifestyle eating program, in other words, this is the way i will live, not the way i lose weight.
And i’m losing, slowly.
That group that put out the silly stats sure got a lot of milage from it. Go back and look the reality up.
Oh. Just to be a little more specific, when Atkins was admitted to the hospital, he was about 6’ tall, about 195 lbs. and in his 70s. The group that put out the description you cite was a Vegan group.
Atkins was grossly fat, and had significant heart disease when he died. >>
Atkins was husky and not “grossly” overweight. Overweight yes, obese no. Most of his life he maintained his weight. And, btw, doctors are not immortal and do die.
And, who ever said that doctors practice what they preach. When I was a kid, my doctor had no smoking signs all over his office and when you entered his private office, what was he doing? Smoking. He told my mother, “you don’t see any No Smoking signs in here do you?”
I heard he died of a head injury nothing else was wrong with him.
That’s completely false.
You are speading lies, no he wasn’t. I knew him, he was thin and looked great, I was on a cruise with him. Please check your facts.
