If anyone bothers to actually read Dr. Atkins book they might find that he basically recommends people to eat smaller portions and exercise. What's wrong with that?

I read the book. He recommends a very low carb diet. That's what separates him from every other diet. Carbs make you fat. Fats make your arteries fat. You will lose weight eating lots of red meat and bacon and your casket will be lighter.

I seriously doubt that your arteries are going to fill with fat when your cholesterol level is falling or for the short time that you are on a high fat diet. The people Dr. Atkins is helping are ALREADY fat and thus have ALREADY been putting "fat" into their arteries. Without an intervention, they won't stop. Get it now!
