Dr. Atkins died last week because he had a slip 'n' fall accident...
.... seriously
While it is true but do you know that millions of millions who lives on high-carb diets found that thier organs grow in wrong way in their bodies (or shrinking... seirously) and usually got killed from insulin-related health problems? Many more that got killed, sudden deaths or serious conditions from high carbs or industrial-related diets, compared to high-protein diet, not many got killed or in serious condition. It is virtually impossible to have insulin-related health problems if you are on high protein
and high fats diet :P That tells lots...
You gotta love Sweden's or Weston A. Price's researches, their researches are now starting to plow these blasphemy high carb diets out of the streets by prove thru numbers of non-profit researches and scientistic proofs.
I am trying to not make a long post like before but let me give you a example or ugly fact if you would like to call it.. Before I use that example or fact, do you know that thousands of diseases/conditions and cancers
does NOT exist in the pre-industrial revolution time? Until we introduce the chemicals that can extend the foods' life, high-carbs/sugary diet & no-fat diet, Pasteurization, Homogenization, etc to our culture and suddenly new diseases comes out monthly, weekly and will-be daily in the future if we did not change our diet.
Ok, here's fact: Non-profit archaeologists found out that Neanderthal/prehistoric people practically have
zero diseases, cancers, insulin-related problems, cold, etc etc etc that has occur in post-industrial revolution. It is true.. try to think back and do they have the medicines like we do today? Why did we have zillions of medicines in our time when they don't have any in their time? Think about it carefully.. consuming lots of vegetables, sweets, low/non-fat foods, etc will be guarantee to give you numbers of health problems. It may not affect you now but in 1, 5, 10, 20 years later, it will. It is inevitable because your body reject what you eat therefore it will cause you health problems. Like what Hippocrates said, our bodies aren't dumb,
we are dumb :P
Here's part of article and would like to show you: (Scanned from "Well Being Journal", highly-respected journal)
Can you imagine.. 70-80 years old or older can suit up the heavy armor and fight the ferocious battles against other enemies? They ate high protein/high-fat diets and they live longer than us plus very healthy. Do you know most top activity our old people can do? Briskly walking or do light weightlifting, that's highest activity our old people who lives on post-industrial revolution diets can achieve compare to old times... No offense but in other words, we are wimpy. Seriously...
Anyway, Atkins Diet is a soundly and logical diet but that is compare against these blasphemy post-industrial revolution diets like high-carb and others. But sorry, VamPyroX, Atkins Diet have several flaws (I learned more from Weston A. Price and Nourishing Tradition books/researches, I was a Atkins Diet guy until these books). I don't know if you want to hear these out or not so I did not post these flaws because.. actually, foods/personal eating/diet is very senitive issue ever (second to religions) so in all honest, I am afraid that I may offend some of you with this post but it isn't my intention... I am well-know for being a bluntly guy so sorry if I offend you with my honest statements :x
Oh btw, I like to add one more thing before I finish with this topic (long again? -_-) I lost 35 lbs of muscles when I was a vegetarian for 5 years... sick and weak however I found a book, "40-30-30" (40, carbs - 30, protein - 30, fats ratio) by (I don't remember the author's name and will add once I find out) and it saved my life and my health. But it isn't work well in later time so I tried Atkins Diet but seem good enough for certain duration until Nourishing Tradition/Price's. I got my 35 lbs of muscles back in only 4 months compare to 2 years (in term of weightlifting) in the past... that's what organic properly high-protein/fats diet will do for you. Oh also, do you know that it is impossible to get fat on high protein/fat diet? It is virtually impossible yet it is more easier to get fat on carbs diet hence why it is HIGHLY profitable for corporates who sponsor these carb diets like AMA and such because of HIGHLY addictive. Can you stop eating right after taste ONE chip out of chip bag? I highly doubt it.
To summary up, I do support Atkins Diet, it is wonderful start for anyone who wants to be healthy but as permanent diet? It isn't, well for me anyway.
P.S. I had my bones check a while ago and I got 2 cm extra thickness from high protein/fat diet also it healed my old left shoulder injury as well. High protein/fat diet is indeed miracle and amazing.
P.S.S I have been on organic and properly high protein/fat diet for two years, I
never have any breath problems, ask my date if you don't believe me. People who eats high carbs have AWFUL body odors, I absolutely despise to dance near them in night clubs! :P
I always carry around a pack of those breath strips! 
I'm addicted to them! Hehehe!
)) Take with a grain of salt, too... even with SBD...
