I was talking to a lady at the store yesterday. We were both buying Atkins bars.She said her nutritionist said you lose muscle on Atkins + told her to go on South Beach diet. She was really against Atkins. Her Husband has heart problems + his dietian said Atkins + all the fat would kill him for sure. They are both doing South Beach. I don't know anything about that diet.My Dad just had a Quadruple heart bypass last month due to plugged arteries, + they read him the riot act about not frying anything. He has to broil everything, so I don't feel right about all the bacon etc. I am eating. I hope we don't all get plugged arteries one day after eating all this fat for years.
Do any of you have heart problems? And - does your Dr. approve of Dr. Atkins, if you do?
