Since doing that, my cholesterol went DOWN by a third, blood pressure dropped, blood sugar levels A-OK, and I'm 40 pounds lighter and falling.
I'm eating fat, and I'm not getting fat. I'm eating cholesterol, and I don't have higher cholesterol. What's the problem here?
PS, I don't exercise, either, although I should just for my own benefit.
There is no doubt that the Atkins diet, strictly adhered to, will take off weight rapidly, at least in the short run. And there's no doubt that taking off a quick 20, 30, or 40 pounds (if you need to) will make you feel better. But you're playing with fire (in my confessedly uninformed opinion) if you make Atkins your permanent diet.
If it's worked for you, congratulations. But be careful!
Really? And what exactly was your diet BEFORE you started eating healthy? LOL!
