Well I do, and the answer is close to zero. How can that be?
No, you don't know that, you are guessing as you have with everything else. Perhaps you could tell us how many are on your unhealthy 20% fat Ornish diet?
Are you an athlete, Pardek? Because at age 45, after being on Atkins for 3.5 years, I have the body fat of female athlete at 19.6%. I am a weight trainer. I would put my stats up against yours any day of the week. What is your body fat %?
I think that the more important question should be, How many people have successful and safe weight loss with the diet. I don't see too many athletes that need a weight loss diet so I have to wonder why you ask that question.
I know that the diet contradicts conventional thinking but I think that you ought to talk to a couple of people that have actually used it.
Look, I'm not advocating this as a cure all. As you and many others have pointed out, exercise plays a huge role in a person's condition. Perhaps bigger than diet in many of us. I'm just trying to answer what appears to be "Atkins bashing" with no basis to do so.
