I was saddened to hear of the passing of a great physician, following a slip and fall accident, in which he bumped his head on the ice.
There are people that are placed upon this earth that touch lives. Some touch lives in good ways, some in bad ways. Dr. Robert C. Atkins was an impact for good.
As most of you are aware, Dr. Atkins has touched many lives with his revolutionary low-carb diet. I am one of those people.
Thus far, I have lost over 25 lbs. on the Atkins diet. And was able to do it within a very short period of time. And it wasn't difficult. In fact, it was probably the easiest diet that I've ever tried.
What attracted me to it, was the fact that everyone to whom I had ever spoken, that had tried it, had achieved significant success within a short period of time. The menu was so vast and appealing, I was considering giving it a shot.
When a friend of mine called me one night and told me that he was going to start the Atkins diet, I enthusiastically told him, "I'll do it with you!" It was a split decision that I have never regretted.
I wholeheartedly recommend the Atkins diet, and Dr. Atkins' book as a healthy alternative to the traditional low-fat, high-carb diets. High carb diets never worked for me. Atkins' works.
Dr. Atkins research will be missed, as will He — a true revolutionary. As I am fond of saying, he was a heavy-weight for the overweight.
God bless you, Dr. Atkins. May the angels on high lead you to your eternal rest.
