Default Remember Dr ATKINS!!!!!!!!!!!

REGARDLESS of the trolls and grammar police, I'll second your thought.

I was truly saddened when Dr. Atkins died. I had spent so many years
reading his books, websites based on his books, etc, that I felt as if I had
lost a friend.

Sure, *I* lost the weight, and yes, I'm not even on Atkins, but I also
wouldn't have done it without him.

Rest in peace, Doc.

Jake.

I just wanted to post my thought. I lost 71 pounds thanks to his
teachings and I feel sad that I will never be able to thank him.

Irregardless Dr Atkins has helped many people. Why should he not of
benefited from what he did?


I never said he shouldn't have nor that he didn't. Charlatans make
money all the time.

Mu to you.

What motivates someone who is obviously not interested in a low
carb lifestyle to post on a newsgroup dedicated to it?


I'm interested. Google me if you doubt that.

Are you just bored?


lol. Hardly.

Why not get a hobby, or if you really enjoy usenet so much, post on a
newsgroup that talks about something you ARE interested in? I just
don't get it.


Obviously.

I'm not trying to be a dick or anything, I'm just curious about your
though process...


See above.

Why don't you go bug the Hulda Clark groupies for a while?
People are *dying* over her bogus "Cure for All Diseases" book.

work and not get paid for it. I dont see any other high profile person who
works with helping people lose weight to turn down any monetary benefits.
Even the YMCA takes your money.


Well put, except for the "irregardless," and using "not of" instead of
"not have," and several other gramatical no-nos.
Grammar is important, even on Usenet.

If you bought his book, you thanked his wallet.

That's why we live in a capitalistic society.




I'm just glad Dr. Atkins lived long enough to be vindicated for his work.


There I agree.

I'm sad we
didn't get to see how he aged -- I mean he was in great shape for a 71
yo, but from 70-80 is when you really see the effects of a lifetime of
habits, good or bad, it seems. That would have silenced the
naysayers! You can't argue with that!


I find it suspicious that there were no provisions made for a thorough
autopsy in his will. What WAS the condition of his coronary arteries?

I find it amusing that people
will follow The South Beach Diet because it was developed by a
cardiologist -- I love telling them that Dr. Atkins was a cardiologist
as well. (So there!)


The other LC diets are basically just Atkins lite. They work well for
people who haven't developed bad insulin resistance and who are only
5-10% overweight.
As I saw last night (see the thread: I just bought a "Dell Purse
Book"), the LC diet was out there before Atkins. He wasn't so much a
pioneer as a tireless advocate. Atkins profitted, the Eades profit,
the South Beach author profits and they are all pretty much alike.
Who needs a book anymore? The principles of LC are very simple. Eat
about the same amount of protein you always have. Eat LOTS of fiber,
especially from leafy green veggies. Most of the rest of your
calories should come from fats, rather than carbs. Monounsaturates
and certain essential polyunsaturates are very good, saturated fats
are fairly neutral and artificially hydrogenated fats are VERY BAD.
That about sums it up.

I'm afraid that I had to chuckle at the suggestion that it is "suspicious" that Dr. Atkins had no provision for
a thorough autopsy in his will. I have a will, as do all of my friends. We're ages 50 - 80. Not a single one
of us has a provision in our will for a thorough autopsy when we die.

i did have one friend who had an autopsy specified in his will: he was the
head of the pathology department and had done many thousand autopsies
himself and thought of it as one last tribute to his department.
He died on his exercise bike, in his mid seventies, one of the most
intelligent people I ever met.

I myself would not worry about the long term effects of atkins on the heart,
as if you remained on atkins that would indicate you had lost weight and
kept it off. No doctor I know would ever trade the high blood pressure and
other effects of excess weight for a few (very hypothetical) points on your
ldl. This is the fundamental tradeoff that makes the whole issue moot.

Does the American "get off of the horse" thing bug you too?

What's with the extra 'of' that keeps appearing? Especially in a country
that has done away with extra vowels in words like 'neighbour' and 'colour.'

Even more annoying is that it's starting to trickle through to this country
as well (along with 'nucular' and 'mischeevious' and, dare I say it,
'aluminum' which I'm sure will cause some dissent)
