I'm surprised that it's taken this long.
Yahoo! News - Report: Atkins Had Heart Disease History
I'm not going to editorialize too much on this. I just now heard about it and read the article. I would have thought something like this would have come out much sooner. Read the article, decide what you want to believe, and you can post comments here, on the BBS, or discuss it in chat. (If anyone's in there.)

Yeah, my wife is following a similar plan, but she doesn't eat fats. No book on heart-smart eating would advocate that.
I refuse to use the term "carbs" in conversation. I am so hoping this fad will pass quickly.

Oddly enough, I've been considering this 'way of life'...my brother followed it and got right to where he wanted to be in about 6 months..but another thing..."a 6 foot man weighting 195 lbs would be considered overweight"....holy crap...when I weighed 195lbs at 6'1" I felt great...that BMI test says I should weigh 180..I think that's crap..but Rick is right "Eat less, move more"!

In the past people at work would see me eating a bagel with egg and bacon on it, they would tell me that the egg and bacon was going to kill me. Now they see me with the bagel and ask me how I can have that many "carbs".
