I realize this is an anecdotal story, but I’ve been on Atkins fairly consistently for many years. I also exercise regularly and have most of my life. The day after Christmas I had a massive heart attack with 100% blockage in one artery. CPR for 6 minutes and 2 shocks. I am typing this only because 3 things went exactly right to keep me alive. Point is, who knows what works and what doesn’t. My father did not live a healthy lifestyle and died at the same age I am now. Maybe we don’t put enough emphasis on genetics.

How were your blood tests during the years on Atkins? Mine and my wife’s are great.

Interesting point you make. Thanks for that and congratulations on a renewed chance at life.
