Igor didn't make up the phrase above out of the blue, it was part of an
article in The Guardian, a well known London paper. You may wish to contact
the editors to find out more about the said report. Having said that, is it
really important whether the poor guy who's resting in peace was fat or not?
The Atkins diet may work very well for some people but Dr Atkins wasn't
'God' and his diet is not the answer to everybody's weight problem, as the
article very clearly states.

showed that he was fat when he died.

Nice to see they need to resort to outright and easily
identified lies to make their statement. The day Dr A
hit his head on the ice he was in the 190s, and for his
height that might even be below his ideal weight by a
few pounds. THose liars can't even tell water bloat
from fat.

The Atkins low-carb diet appeared to be suffering from a
hypoglycaemic
crash yesterday as it emerged that Atkins Nutritionals UK, the
company
that sells its diet products in the UK, was about to call in the
administrators.

In another post I compalined asbout the lie that Dr
A was fat when he died. In this one I chuckle that
a company selling what can easily be called chemical
junk claimed to be selling Atkins food. Dr A stressed
eating veggies and meat more than he stressed eating
treats, and he stressed natural far more than he
stressed chemical.

The Atkins name was then used to market low-carb versions of the
processed foods that the diet recommended cutting out

I bet broccoli is still doing well, though. Is'nt
broccoli some sort of miracle food? It's endorsed
by every type of loss plan I can think of. Low carb,
low fat, low calorie, paleolithic, you name it.

Well said! It's 'The Food!'

Whether Dr. Atkins was "God" or not, or whether is diet is the answer to
everybody's weight problem is not the issue. The point is that this article
is filled with misinformation, innuenedo, bias and outright lies.
