The Chief Cardiologist at the local hospital uses Atkins as his personal diet. His wife told me that it is the only one that ever worked for him and his "numbers" all came way down when he went on it. The ironic thing is, when I ask her if he prescibes it for his patients, she said, "No, he has to give them the Heart Healthy diet". And then she smiled.

Isn't it sad that doctors are required to use the American Heart Assoc diet even though they know what really works. It's all because our society is so quick to sue if anything would go wrong even it it due to a pre-existing condition. I don't always use the "do as I say, not what I do" theory. In this case, I will follow his lead and do what he does.
