  • Man loses 600lb on low carb diet- 300lb to go

    Atkins didn't say 'Calories don't count',
    he said, 'Don't count calories.'
    --------------------------------------
    Male 6 ft 3in 60 years old. Married 28 years.
    Began Atkins March 04 at 260lb, reduced to 203lb by April 07 and maintained.
    Blood Pressure Mar 04 147/94 . Jun 04 121/74 . Dec 04 119/72 . Jan 06 126/71 . Dec 07 110/70
    Atkins makes exercise mandatory - I took up cycling - see last pics at 203lb.

        That was really interesting. I saw the parade they gave him last year. I hope he makes it to his goal.


        It is nice seeing a picture where I actually have a neck!

            Actually it doesn't say he's doing Atkins, and if he is he could be a the other fruits rung by now. I actually had half a grapefruit and whole grain toast with peanut butter for b'fast yesterday! no fish soup though ..blech!

              Thats awesome of him! I shudder to think what would have happened if he tried a low fat diet - that poor man's blood sugar... *shudder*

              I looked up a couple other links mentioning him and it appears he is on the Zone diet:

                  Pretty amazing. He's going to need a serious tummy tuck and then some when he's done.

                        Yep I remember seeing him on Discovery Health or something. I'm glad that he's losing weight and regaining his life.
