Too funny. You need to check your facts before automatically jumping up to agree with someone Corey123
. Atkins decidedly did not die from a diet-related heart attack. It was a fatal head injury involving surgery to remove a blood clot from his brain due to a fall.
Again - diet & exercise doesn't automatically mean that someone won't have a heart attack, stroke, diabetes, etc. - it just hedges the bets.
Does anyone here remember Jim Fixx from back in the '70's? He was one of the first "running" gurus & published a couple of books on it, which included diet tips. Although he went from a weight of 220 to 159 & was considered healthy from his diet & running regimen, he ultimately died from heart disease. Go figure.
I'm a BIG fan of the "everything in moderation" diet these days. I don't deprive myself, but I do pay attention to what, & the amounts of "what", I consume. If I want a beer, I have one. If I feel like pizza, I have pizza - just not 3 slices of pizza - lol!! It still satisfies the craving. And since my husband doesn't eat any red meat, our regular meals consist of poultry, seafood, & vegetarian meals, so for the most part I figure I'm eating pretty healthy.
Does this mean that I won't have a heart attack or stroke, etc.? Heck no. But at least I figure I'm doing the best I can while still enjoying myself dining wise.
