I won't die of obesity but this long article may do it...................

I should add that I have been on Atkins for 3.5 years, lost 40 pounds and have attained exceptional cholesterol levels. I have also achieved a Body fat % of 19.6 [that of a female athlete] on my HIGH FAT Atkins diet.

It is a falsehood and a naive myth that "fat makes fat." What makes people fat - and SICK - is the typical American junk food diet that has sugar, bread, rice and starchy foods like potatoes. While exercise is certainly beneficial, after a certain age it contributes very little to weight loss and becomes almost impossible to lose weight without a good diet.

I won't die of obesity...

Roger that. I have told folks since I was 20 (43 now) that I won't live to be 50. I work too many hours and drive too fast to be worried about fat and cholesterol.
