How many times are they going to drag that poor, dead girl out ??? The autopsy report stated that diet was ONLY ONE possible cause. Others included: Taking Drugs, Bulimia, and/or Anorexia. As for low electrolytes...I believe Dr. Atkins only recomended supplements out of an abundence of caution. I watch what I eat to make sure I get enough Potassium, Calcium, and not too much Sodium. I had my Cholesterol/Electrolytes checked after 8 months:
Sodium -- 140 (Normal: 135-148)
Potassium -- 3.9 (Normal: 3.5-5.5)
Calcium -- 9.5 (Normal: 8.5-10.6)
BTW, despite their claims about Saturated Fat [and Heart Disease]:
Cholesterol -- 175 (Healthy: <200)
LDL -- 122 (Healthy: <130*)
*If I didn't have a family history of Heart Disease, Healthy LDL would be <160.
