My husband's cholesterol dropped from a dangerous 280 to a quite low 140 after 2 months on the Atkins diet. The doctor was amazed.

The anti-Atkins hysteria stems from the PETA, vegetarian crowd who can't stomach the thought that people who eat liberal portions of meat, especially red meat, can actually be quite healthy.

The hysteria will ratchet up as more and more people enjoy the benefits of the Atkins approach and tell their family and friends about it.

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

Glad to learn about hubby's health. Atkins is a win-win, IMO.

My dad's cholesterol rose from 180 to 300 in one month on the Aktins diet. His doctor told him to go off it immediately, and it dropped back to 180 within 3 weeks time.

Different strokes for different folks (so to speak).

My blood pressure went from 145/125 to 105/75 in one month on Atkins. I had not had a "visit from my monthly friend" in 8 months. Within three months I was regular again. I stoppe dloosing my hair, lost 25 pounds, cleared up my acne and regained my muscle tone in 6 months. Atkins works. Sticking with it is not easy, though.
