The document, by the Wall Street Journal, was a report of external examination from the chief medical examiner’s office in New York, also says that at his death Dr. Atkins weighed 258 pounds. Dr. Atkins died in April last year at age 72 of a head injury from a fall on ice while walking to work. The report attributes the death to a "blunt impact injury of head."
If he hadn’t been so fat and unhealthy (from his own diet)
he just might have had better balance and lived a little longer.
So this way of eating or way of life might be something to reconsider… ya think?
You just cannot accept the fact that this way of eating is good for you and healthy,can you? It just goes against the grain of what we have been brainwashed to accept. I know exactly why Dr. Atkins died and I know what caused his heart ailment, which he recovered from. He didn’t have congestive heart failure. I suggest checking your sources.
I have been on the Atkins diet for 4 1/2 years and my cholesterol levels are at enviable levels. My blood pressure is normal and my hypoglycemia is gone. Migraines have vanished along with my itchy skin. My hair is even less gray today than it was 4 years ago. I am not kidding! I am a 50 year old woman. At my age I should worry about osteoporosis which is what the doctors expected to find in recent xrays. Instead , the xrays revealed healthy bone mass.
To add to that, I ran a 5K last year. I am not a runner nor do I like doing it. I just wanted to see if I could do it as a low carber. I did a similar race over 10 years ago and walked the entire distance. This time I ran successfully. Instead of carb loading, I protein loaded with a meal of buttered shrimp, steak and turnip greens.I had real homemade , sugarfree, ice cream for dessert, btw. And I ran in a 5K the next day following a breakfast of bacon, eggs and strawberries.
Dr. Atkins was successful at his own diet. He was not overweight. I know this because he was on many talk shows just before his death.Why so many talk shows. At this time, the American Heart Association had announced that from their own studies, DA’s diet proved to lower cholesterol and blood glucose as well as induce a greater weightloss than their own diet. This was 4 1/2 years ago. This is also the moment that I decided to try Atkins. BTW, low carb dieting has been around for milleniums. Just recently 2 long term studies have been made confirming the safety and health of eating a low carb lifestyle. Which have been featured stories on the news.
