Robert Atkins was a ****** http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20040210/ap_on_he_me/atkins_medical_report He also had heart disease, though the story says it was from an infection. He also claimed that his high weight was due to bloating from the infection...Sounds like a good facade, but I don't think people that are 6 feet tall "bloat" to 258 lbs. Me thinks he was munching on the pizza and tossing back a few brews. In other book related news, the company that published Dr. Atkins's book have just published their latest release, The Art of Being a True Point Guard, by Steve Francis...
I'm waiting for Dissection Of A Last Second Shot by Steve Francis, with foreward by Dribblemeister Moochie Norris. Great bathroom readings!
PSA... Report: Dr. Atkins Was Obese, Had Heart Disease Family Denies Health Related To Diet POSTED: 10:16 a.m. EST February 10, 2004 NEW YORK -- A new report says the founder of the famous Atkins diet died obese and with a heart condition. Dr. Robert Atkins died last April at the age of 72 after he fell on an icy street in New York. The Wall Street Journal, citing a report from the city medical examiner, reported that Atkins weighed 258 pounds at his death and had previously suffered a heart attack, congestive heart failure and hypertension. The report was provided to the Journal by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, a group that advocates vegetarianism and has long denounced the Atkins diet. The medical examiner's office told the Journal that the report had been sent to the advocacy group in error. Atkins was the diet guru who stressed eating protein-filled meat and cheese over carbohydrates. His widow said she's outraged that the report has been made public. She also said her husband's doctors insist his health problems weren't related to diet. http://www.nbc5i.com/health/2835852/detail.html
Of course I'm not certain. I'm no doctor, so I could be wrong, but when I see the word "bloating", I think of chicks on their period that gain 5 pounds, not balooning to over 100 lbs. higher than ideal weight. Please provide evidence to the contrary if you have it...
Latest word is that it will only be available in the roll format, but with three different absorbency levels.
I know people with heart blockages or heart attacks can "bloat" at the time. Doesn't explain a whole 50 pounds, though. My father was of similar proportions (6'1", 270 lbs.). Unfortunately he is no longer with us, because of heart disease. Don't know if Atkins followed his own diet plan or not, but they're not kidding about this health thing. Fat, cholesterol, and obesity will catch up to you and most likely shorten your lifespan.
It's all a big pinko-Commie plot to tar and feather Dr. Atkins from the world's biggest gang of useless, brain-dead morons, PETA. These bastards, the same folks who throw gum and blood on fur coats, broke the law by seizing his confedential medical records. Bastards. link
He was a fat azz, but who cares... People should enjoy whatever food they like, except for Supermodels, Swimsuit models and Actress' as they need to look hot...Just keep eating celery sticks and rice cakes...
The book with the soft pages is called, "Yao. Chairman or Charmin?" PETA makes up stuff all the time, as well as intentionally hurts people going through crisis. I remember their billboard about Rudy Guliani during his cancer bout... it had him drinkin' milk and it said "Got Cancer?" They claim milk consumption leads to cancer of the prostate. Idiots. That's in a lab rat study where they ONLY drink milk. And water consumption leads to a coma if that's 100% of what you ingest in excess amounts over a short period. Just ask the guy from TCU. What next? PETOW? people for the ethical treatment of water
jerry lewis plays professional baseball? i also love the mention of accidentally sending the report. oh, oops, we accidentally sent the report to your archrival. sorry about that. IROC it, LMAO at chairman or charmin. one of the greatest plays on words i've seen on this board.
Peta truly annoys me At one point I was sympathetic to their cause. . . . to an extent but man they do and say ridiculous sh*t I don't beleive ANYONE should harm an animal maliciously for their own amusement however I'm ok with using them for food the whole CIRCLE OF LIFE thing even then I would perfer they treated well.

Here is a news flash!! The Atkins diet does work.. it does what it is deviced to do. cut out carbohydrates. But one thing that is not said about it is it slowly destroys your body. It promotes a little something called ketoacidosis. I am current nursing student and have had class disscusions over the subject. When you cut carbohydrates from your diet you are supposed to replace them with proteins well for energy you burn protein and fatty acids. This causes weight loss. But it also causes certain enzymes and acids to be released in your body to a toxic level. in his book he says to test your urine with what are called keto sticks that you can get from a Walgreens or whatever. What you test your urine for are ketones which shows the level acid build up in your body. So please beware of these diets they may seem a quick fix and hey you might be able to sustain at a healthy level for a while. But it's like playing Russian-roulette with your body.
