The main things dropped are wheat and sugar. You still eat veggies and fruits on Atkins. Man evolved to eat meat, eggs, fruits and veggies. Processed grain products and sugar are late additions to the diet, and are the main things cut out

This an interesting debate. I was diagnosed with hypertension and high cholesterol just over a year ago. Med's got the blood pressure under control and The AHA diet dropped the cholesterol to acceptable levels. I still keep animal protien in my diet as I don't believe we were ment to only eat grass.

By the way, I'm not fat and I am active.
