Re: Atkins diet - which one dead or alive... AND -

The interesting thing is, that media always and continues to connect Dr. Atkins diet to his death! When he died as a result of a head injury by slipping and falling on the ice. They also say that he had heart disease, which isn't true, he was actually born with a genetic heart defect and had surpassed his life expectancy by living well into his 70's.

Also, the average american takes the Atkin's diet and twists it to suit their tastes. They twist it by continuously eating high fat meats and cheese, which isn't the point. The point is to cut out all carbs (aside from veggies and some fruit) for a few weeks and then re-introduce complex carbs whole wheat, whole grains and all fruit and veggies - all in moderation.

The major change is cutting out sugar, and white processed carbs and increase (to balance the ratio) lean sources of protein. Tweet
