Default 48 hours Weight loss special

Did anybody else see 48 Hours the other day? The show was titled "Extremely Perfect". Part of it was about gastric bypass surgery, but they did a bit on the atkins diet and showed a family that all went on it and succeeded. Man the one kid was 350lbs at age 15 and by age 19 was down to 140lbs. It was pretty amazing! The father just started a show on the food network for lowcarb cooking.

You mean George Stella? He was 465 lbs when he started Atkins. And lost over 200 lbs himself.

yup, that's him. I was actually more impressed with the kid having enough self-discipline to do it.

But I had no idea where to turn for help—that is, until I found Dr. Atkins’ New Diet Revolution in my living room. The book had been left there by mistake by my son’s girlfriend. I asked her about it, and she briefed me on the basic principles of controlled carbohydrate eating.


This is from George Stella little bio on the Atkins web site. How much do you want to bet that it was no accidental oversight. If my boyfriend's father weighted over 400 lbs, I would tend to be very forgetful about where I leave my Atkins book.
