But I bet if someone eats tons of carbs from only raw foods, they will never be fat. There are good carbs and bad carbs.
Carbs are fuel. If you put bad fuel in your car, it can ruin your engine. Some carbs burn cleaner than other carbs. The carbs in grapefruit are different than the carbs in cake. Right? See Losing Weight below for more on this. |
Dr Atkins did not die from a heart attack. He died from falling on an icy sidewalk, hitting his head and getting a subdural hematoma, going into a coma. Who makes up this stuff? It's proof you can just slander someone online and get away with making up anything.
He weighed less than 200 lbs before he fell and was in excellent health according to those who actually knew him. I met him in person a year before his death and he was not even close to being chubby, let alone obese.
