What it does not mention in this article, is at the time of his death he was clinically obese and had heart disease.

Don't believe everything you read Craig.
And anyway, the poor bastard was 72 and his diet was 30 year old; doesn't sound to me like he was a victim of his own methods.

Ya he died like almost a year ago.......but I think that in the long run his diet isn't the best for you. I feel that it overloads you with protein which can eventually hurt you. The better diet is the SouthBeach diet.....it too is a protein diet but lets you eat fruits and carbs.

Guess he should have had more meat and less carbs.

I don't, starting with your posts

Bur it is on the news and in the papers this morning (and not just the tabloids)

Good one

Bur it is on the news and in the papers this morning (and not just the tabloids)

I wonder why it's on the news when it's nearly one year old news
Maybe it has something to do with...

"Trager said the weight cited in the medical report was added between the time of Atkins' accident and his death. He said Atkins weighed less than 200 pounds at the time he was injured.

During his coma, as he deteriorated and his major organs failed, fluid retention and bloating dramatically distorted his body and left him at 258 pounds at the time of his death, a documented weight gain of over 60 pounds," the doctor said in a written statement. "How and why the Journal reported that he was obese remains the only unanswered question in this pathetic situation."

Like I say, don't believe everything you read

I with it... I know a guy who lost a ton of weight on that plan...

I thought he died when he slipped on a half-eaten kabab on the footpath outside of TGPO's appartment in the lower middle east side of west Manhattan!

I heard he slipped on the grease left over from Will Hays Chicken Bhuna. Guess we will never know until one of them confesses.

Due to a medical condition, not his diet.

right, it was some medical condition, he organs were retaining fluids, this adds a bit to someone weight.

I think FARK had an artical the other day talking about the people who release the info about his heart problem and weight were basicly PETA, imagine that.

I don't see anything

"Atkins, 72, was rushed to New York Weill Cornell Medical Center by his colleague, Dr. Keith Berkowitz, where surgeons removed a blood clot to relieve pressure in his brain on April 9.

Atkins slipped on an icy sidewalk outside his New York office."

I'm not a doctor but I think he died of blunt head trauma not his diet.


Here's my favorite diet:

Here's my favorite diet:

Looks like a California Pizza Kitchen pizza and a Guiness.....or possibly a Moosedrool.

Whatever that beer is, it sure does have a lot of head..........mmmmm HEAD. :P :P

Cavuto had a go-round with that Trager fellow last night. Sounds like the Doc poo-pooing & badmouthing the Atkins diet has one of his own he'd like to sell people on...

[indolikaa]

A doctor with an agenda? NO!

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,20057,00.html
and

Dr. John McDougall, a member of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, the anti-Atkins vegetarian group that made the medical report public.

Well of course the arsehole is going to object to the Atkins diet! His organization is a pro-vegetarian group. That's somewhat like what happens when you put a Democrat and a Republican in the same room and bring up the words Capital Gains Tax. They're sure as hell not going to pour tea and talk about tomorrow's cricket!

Neil did administer an impressive ass-whipping, no doubt about it.

I wouldn't take a corpse to McDougall for a diagnosis.

I wanna know what the hell Dick Clark and Jack Lalane are eating!
Those guys will out live all of us....

LOL


PS: I would also mention Hugh Hefner, but I think we all know what he's eating........
