I dont know if someone else responded to this comment already but i couldn't pass it without responding!!!...Atkins is a wonderful WOL and is misconstrued all the time!..atkins is not about eating bacon and steaks all the time!...you are to eat Healthy fats,and lower your carbs,while limiting starchy vegtables and increasing Non-starchy ones to your at CCLM.I love this way of eating and am so glad i found it. Low fat Diets are Not for everyone(it definetly wasnt for me...check out sugarfreeshelia.com) as is low carb. Even though it is "exceptable" to eat bacon throughout the day while on atkns i would not do so and if/when i do eat it i prefer turkey bacon,Fat is NOT harmful!!..and just because people chose to misuse the diet doesn't make the diet hamful.And NO dr atkins did not die of an Heart attack he fell and bumped his head on ice outside of his office which put him in a coma which eventually lead to his unfortunate death. you will gain weight when you STOP any lifestyle if you quit a low-fat diet and go back to eating butter and olive oil you'll regain!...if you know you HAVE to have lots of carbs all through the day dont get on atkins,if you LOVE processed sugars dont get on atkins its as simple as that...as for me im almost finished with the book and have done tons of research on it as well as joined supportive forums and couldn't be more pleased...Sorry if i came of mean i just couldn't stand by and let such a healthy and great WOE get such a "BAD RAP"(

of course I gained all my weight back, PLUS 40 extra, eek!! I read somewhere that you have to stay on atkins for life, otherwise once you start eating normally, your body becomes a FAT MAGNET.. I can attest to the truth of that!

Didnt Dr. Atkins die from a heart attack?
