OF COURSE IT WON'T HAPPEN.......................

of course it won't happen, but i believe that folks here in the USA owe dr. atkins a HUGE debt of gratitude for the changes FINALLY being made in nutrition. Why? His idiotic diet with carb intake as low as 20grams has nothing to do with the reassessment of good and bad fats and an attempt to remove excess nutritionally negative carbs from the diet. Atkins is a fool. It is well documented that he died fat, and no amount of insistance (by those dull-witted Atkins adherents) that he put on all that weight in a matter of just a week or so while lying in coma will change that simple fact. Everyone knows how many calories it takes to make a pound of fat, and hospitals do not over-feed their patients by more than 15,000 calories per day. Water weight could only account for four or five pounds of it at most. His diet is dangerous, it doesn't work long term even for Atkins himself and he deserves no thanks from anyone. Bill BTW, Why the upper case, are you going into competition with that % fool? |

"Why?

" Totally exposing your ignorance about the diet. If you read anything at all, you didn't get past the first couple pages. The 20g limit is during induction, which typically lasts 2 weeks. The rest of the diet, where the carb limit is much higher and includes all kinds of healthy vegetables and fruits lasts a lifetime. It was Atkins who for 3 decades championed the truth against morons like you who not only won't listen, but distort lie. "Atkins is a fool. It is well documented that he died fat, and no amount of insistance (by those dull-witted Atkins adherents) that he put on all that weight in a matter of just a week or so while lying in coma will change that simple fact. Everyone knows how many calories it takes to make a pound of fat, and hospitals do not over-feed their patients by more than 15,000 calories per day. Water weight could only account for four or five pounds of it at most. His diet is dangerous, it doesn't work long term even for Atkins himself and he deserves no thanks from anyone. " Speaking of lies, this is a whopper. First, you act as if Atkins were hidden for years, only emerging in death. The fact is, he was regularly on TV shows as a guest. He always looked relatively fit. I saw one of his last interviews, within a year of his death, with Larry King. He looked pretty fine and not obese by any stretch of the imagination. It's not well documented that he died fat. All I've seen are leaked reports of unknown origin that listed his weight. He was comatose with a body that was failing slowly for 2 weeks. I've seen numerous doctors state that it's quite normal for a patient in that state to accumulate a large amount of water. Apparently, you want to turn water into fat, but you can't. BTW, where exactly does all your anger stem from? I mean I don't agree with Pritkin, but I don't feel the need to spew lies and hatred. |

Mine managed 18 pounds of water weight gain in under 24 hours back in October 2001. In my case my body was trying desperately to keep my blood pressure up by expanding my blood volume by retaining every last scrap of fluid it could because I was merrily hemorrhaging away half my blood supply. Atkins' body was undergoing far more screwed up stuff, and for a far longer period. It ain't normal, it ain't pretty, but it does happen.

I don't know anything about Dr. Atkins, but I do know that my father, though he was just skin and bones when he died, was MASSIVE and looked horribly obese, just from water retention as his system was shutting down. When the funeral home had him prepared for viewing, he was once again skin and bones...what you state above is absolutely true, he looked like a 250# man but in reality was well under 200# once the water was removed by the funeral home.

Hi,

People with no exposure to what massive and rapid onset edema looks like do tend to disbelieve it - especially when Atkins is mentioned. It most definitely happens though. Look at the patient in Figure 2. Came into the hospital with pneumonia and acute respiratory distress weighing 106.1 pounds. Poor guy bloated up to 150.3 pounds 6 days into his stay and hit 182.8 pounds 12 days in: http://www.hcs.gr/Keimena/2_2005/eng/2005_46_92.pdf Ow.

My kidneys shut down (just as Dr A's did on life support - it's a well documented phenomenon) and I gained 17 kg (that's 37 1/2 pounds, for the metrically challenged) of fluid in 6 days before they decided that it was too dangerous for the pregnancy to continue. We *know* it was just fluid, because as soon as my daughter was delivered my body dumped all that fluid over the next 2 days. It happens. Live with it. Aramanth |
