I'm not doing Atkins I think.................B. Monkey   Author:  57232  Category:(Discussion) Created:(2/10/2004 8:32:00 PM) This post has been Viewed (511 times) I was going to do Atkins, but I've decided against, and it's not because of the story down below. I just don't like all the high fat, meat, cheese, eggs aspect of it. Or if I do it, it will be highly modified. I just don't agree with some of it. Last summer I lost 30 something pounds! And that was good ol' excercise and a diet that wasn't too hard core, it was sprinkled with a lot of readings from the book Sugarbusters. So I feel great, people were saying things because they noticed and then I ventured off into NO NO land. I can't blame this all on my boyfriend, but I think I ate fast food just about everynight. But anyways I wanted to give a diet shoutout to a one Crooked Halo, thank you so much for all the tips you have given me so far I really appreciate it. And for those still reading....PLEASE let's have a USM Diet section! I can't remember if it was me or Punkie friend but I think it will be a nice link for us to exchange tips. and the article below was off of www.msn.com *************************************************************************** Diet guru Dr. Robert Atkins, who died last year after a fall in New York, had a history of heart disease and weighed 258 pounds at the time of his death, a newspaper reported Tuesday. Atkins' popular diet stresses people should eat high-protein meats and cheese over carbohydrates in order to lose weight. Before his death, he had suffered a heart attack, congestive heart failure and hypertension, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing a report by the city medical examiner. At 258 pounds, the 6-foot-tall Atkins would have qualified as obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s body-mass index calculator. Atkins, 72, died last April after suffering a head injury in a fall on an icy city street.
