"...studies all found that people 20 to 40% over the insurance company weight charts lived the longest."

Ve-r-r-r-ry interesting.

So, let's see, he doesn't believe in dieting and he doesn't believe in exercising to lose weight. Sounds like people who are fat and for one reason or another want to lose weight are just stuck, according to the good doctor.

No thanks. To paraphrase Mae West, I've been fat (after giving birth) and I've been in shape, and believe me, in shape is better. Thank you, Dr. Atkins.

Interesting that he was critical of the very flawed Seven Countries Study and the Framingham study... since they were based on his earliest work which is overlooked in this article: connecting sat fat to heart disease. America turned to vegetable oil (and more sugar) and heart disease is booming. Hmmm...

The only diet that works is the E.L.E. Diet.

Eat Less and Exercise.

He had no intention of ever jogging because he'd "seen just too many cases" of people dropping dead while jogging.

Even brilliant people succumb to anecdotal thinking outside their field.

I've got this love/hate relationship with food. I love food, but hate what it does to me.

Guess we all would like to be lean, mean, lovin' machines and retain the health we had in our twenties. This article points out what many of us feel, and what we've been through over the years.

It is a tough article to respond to. Thanks.

Most people over the age of thirty-five will start gaining one to three pounds a year. That really hurts by age sixty, but it represents overeating by about one piece of buttered toast a day -- hardly glutteny.

All things considered, it seems that while exercise is good for you, exercising may kill you!
