Being in ketosis really helps inflammation. I have an autoimmune disease, and my joint pain was nearly gone. I need to get back on course.

@abba4life37, You ought to be ashamed of yourself spreading garbage.

So why do you think they hated him so much? Because it would hurt their pockets or...?

@@amberleonem1 Dr. Atkins was a fraud and a disgrace to his profession.

Thanks, now I eat loads of fibre from plants and fruits. Yet, I make the emphasis on vegetables, cabbage, tubers, courgettes, onions, garlic, artichoke, and then nectarines, peaches, dates/figs.

The Keto diet is Dr. Atkins diet, who was a great cardiologist.

He didn't save anyone

@Glen M Yes my vegan friend was doing great. Okay, people thought she was my mother, when she is several years younger, but what of that. So there is major leaky gut, but that is just minor. So she has some liver problems, and her fingernails and mouth are the colour of mustard. Minor problem. Has major problems with depression and angry outbursts. It happens. Has turned green and fainted at work several times, and they had to call an ambulance. Could happen to anyone. Fragile bones. It happens. Uterus turned white from lack of estrogen. That was the straw that got her to add animal products to her diet and leave her healthy vegan diet.

@Zero Hoots Perhaps, but what contributor wrote that?

@@roligue well technically he didn't. They saved themselves. If you're another vegan tool I pray you find your brain.

@@davidfence6939 ,🤣🤣🤣🤣

What happened to him?

@@bryanbarrera1561 He was walking in front of the Atkins Center and slipped on ice and hit the back of his head on on ground. He died from the complications from that.

This is why I don’t listen to these so called ppl anymore they shut down everything that they can not sell

I always believed him and may he rest in peace 🙏

Yes you right !

Also the heaviest

@@J.o.e_K 100% agreed. The sugar industry killed off this mans message after he died

Yes, I knew Dr. Atkins and his wife personally. He struggled with his weight a little bit like all of us, but he was never obese.

He was using his own diet,

That is really impressive and exciting

***** Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that McDougall's diet also restricts sugar, refined grains, and processed vegetable oils not just animal products.

***** I hear you; sometimes I just want to give up, too. What I understand is that although complex carbs break down more slowly than simple carbs, they both raise blood sugar and cause insulin spikes. One of insulin's main functions is the storage of body fat--in order to bring blood sugar down, the body converts the excess sugar to fat and then stores it. High blood sugar also damages arteries by causing inflammation, and chronic inflammation in arteries is the main cause of plaque buildups.

Wrong

I became insulin resistant and obese while I was a vegetarian as a teenager, I didn't know better. You can do low carb and be a vegetarian, they don't necessarily have to be opposite ends of the diet spectrum. Low carb helped me lose 120 pounds and though I'm still pre-diabetic, maybe it won't turn into type 2 diabetes now.

@@hotwax9376 comment is 5 years late but you are wrong- I am a fan of the Zone diet (not atkins) but mcdougall is crazy - he promotes sugar and refined carbs- Michael Greger has a bit more sanity

You're being dishonest. Atkins had heart disease before his fall and was taking medications for it. Not being open about this was also dishonest of Robert.

You are being dishonest, Robert Atkins have a life of heart disease and obesity. and is only get better with nutrition. Is dead was cause by a accident on ice, we was on coma and then is was dead. We was on a normal weight, and after is dead he was over weight cause by fluid retention.

ricardo machado He started his heart medications after he went on the diet. Read his medical file. Here are the facts. 1. He had been hospitalized a few months before he fell because of his heart problems. 2. He was taking medications for his heart problems. 3. Even his wife admits that " he did have some progression of his coronary artery disease in the last three years of his life, including some new blockage of a secondary artery."

Oh, you again... 1) Cardiomyopathy. Genetics. Not CAD! 2) Medications for CMP. Few months before? I'd say amazing diet, that gives you such a period without drugs for this condition. 3). Lies, filthy lies. Atkins autopsy said, that his coronaries was perfectly clean.

Robis9267 His autopsy didn't say that. Prove it.

Huh?

He struggled with his weight, which is why he developed the diet. He wasn't like McNoodle who was born skinny and never had to deal with being fat one day in his life. I knew Dr. Atkins and he was not fat at all. Sure, he wasn't a skinny mini, but definitely not fat.

He was 70, dickhead. What do you want him to do, jog?

And what's happening to people who use his diet? They lose lots of weight.

He was not obese as some people claim-slightly overweight -not skinny but definitely not fat for his age- he was six foot and his weight fluctuated between 195 and 200 pounds

Im ripped on this program so it works

@H P He had heart disease though.

You missed the detail that he slipped and hit his head in pavement

@@lenblack1462 but that's not why he died. You're following a vegan doctor who VIOLATED FEDERAL LAW to get the doctor's death info. He was also 70+. In current America the average age of death is tending downward now. He wasn't in his 40s with heart disease like many Americans.

RIP Bryan Barrera's Knowledge. He couldn't research and just believes whatever everyone else tells him to believe.

@@davidfence6939 Can you prove McDougall violated Federal Law? If so, there should be charges.

You consider a 6 foot tall that weighed 195 pounds obese?

Ummm..:that doesn’t mean he wasn’t right about what he said.

How do you know he wasn’t healthy? What were the ages of the others? Please provide facts.

@@kathy6017 Those are reasonabe questions. Atkins was about 70 years old at the time. He died three years later. Circumstances of his death are somewhat controversial. The statements by people from his company are generally considered "highly unlikely to be true", for example, the claim that he merely appeared obese because he gained so much fluid (60 pounds or so) during his last days, something any physician knows is impossible. Other parts are less certain, such as doubts surrounding the fall that seems to have killed him. But what I am referring to here, is much simpler: in this video, he was not only not skinny but clearly overweight and likely obese, which is something any doctor will tell you when he/she sees it. In this video clip it may not be completely clear what the others are like, but here is a link to the complete set of presentations, allowing you to judge for yourself: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sLBdZbBhl7WyZXk.html I view this debate as an extremely important one. I learned about the Atkins diet when the first version came out in 1972, and later on during my classes of organic chemistry in med school when it was named together with the older Stillman diet. Atkins' diet appeared to be extremely successful for a while. Then it petered out, until he produced a new version in 1992 when it arguably became even more successful. Unfortunately, it was all largely a mirage, and few people were able to maintain it. There are good medical reasons for that. We know that better now, than at the time, even if most of the important stuff was already known at that time (and long before that). The currently popular keto-diet is just another iteration of the Atkins diet. I would love to say that losing weight is easy, but it is not. There are no easy solutions. Only hard ones and harder ones. Willpower is and will likely remain for as long as we will be alive, the main ingredient of a successful diet. It is popular to claim otherwise, but taking a good look at the statistics will teach you quickly that most current approaches are not great either, willpower remains ingredient number 1.

Mari Laucher His heart condition was not diet related. It was due to a virus. Yes, this can happen. My dad had aortic valve stenosis, which ultimately caused his death by heart attack, and it was condition he had since he was a child and diet had nothing to do with it. Doctors also confirmed to us that diet played zero role in his death.

People will find any excuse to promote a paradigm that supports their research. Infectionscan cause heart failure of course and I am quite sure that arteries covered in plaque and daily consumption of high amounts of saturated fat had no connection whatsoever.

Mari Laucher infections can cause abnormalities and weaknesses. And not everyone who has a heart attack even has heart disease. My dad did not have heart disease, but rather a faulty mechanical valve that had been put in to replace a faulty aortic valve that had been faulty since childhood. Not everything can be blamed on diet.

He looks about his age to me. If you want to see old looking Dr. McCherrypick, who cherry picked the real China Study not only looks like he is in his nineties, he shows all the signs of dementia. He is a frail, crazy old man.

He died of a head injury - not poor health!
