Oh, pooh! I'm sick of all these goofy diets! Who knows what
kind of harm they do in the very long run? I just ate
three pieces of Russell Stover chocolate and I'm happy.
Dr. Atkin's diet didn't do him a lick of good in the long
run. If anyone doesn't like my porky protrusions, then all
I can say is pooh!

I can understand that. That is why I won't quit smokin' cigarettes. I might get hit by a truck!
I may as well smoke.

You feel so much better when your weight is near what the charts say it should be. That's the reason I am trying to get back down there. You sleep better, every joint in your body doesn't ache when you wake up, and your chances of having to inject yourself with insulin several times a day decreases dramatically.

And Atkins fell on his head and died at a ripe old age when he was still fit. That's the way to do it.

What are you talking about? Dr. Atkins died last month from head injuries at the age of 72 and was in excellent health until then.

The Atkins program turned my whole family around. My children will not be part of the alarming numbers of children who have Type II diabetes.

The weight loss is almost incidental to us achieving lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol, and steering us away from hyperinsulinism.

Look around you. How many people do you know who have Type II diabetes? It ain't a pretty disease.

What is the basis for your statement? He died from a head injury, and he was thin and in good shape for his life...
