A Tribute: How has Dr Atkins positively affected your life?
When my husband first mentioned the Atkins diet - I told him that he must be out of his ever-loving mind! But being the analytical person I am, I had to investigate. Dr Atkins reasoning seemed very logical, even if it went against the norm.
So off we went on the Atkins diet. It lasted for about 7 months. We got bored with the diet and decided to go off. But because Dr. Atkins kept getting the word out to more and more people - we tried it again - this time armed with low carb recipes.
It has now been 15 months on this way of eating, and I don't see myself stopping. This is the way I eat. Period.
During these 15 months, I have lost almost 70 pounds, my skin has cleared up, and I have more energy than I have had since I was in my teens! My blood pressure is wonderful, my cholesterol is excellent. In short, I believe Dr Atkins has helped to improve and extend my life. I will always be grateful to this man.
Thank you Dr. Atkins. You are my hero.
