Why do you post this slanted crap? 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. |

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/st...439381,00.html .... Dr Atkins' diet suffered a blow to its image when a medical report 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. |

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/st...439381,00.html 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. |
