Well, to be fair, it is now reported that his heart condition was caused by a virus.
When he slipped and fell on the ice, he went into the hospital weighing 195 lbs., and gained 60 lbs.
from complications that caused him to retain fluids like crazy, then he died.
You won't hear me selling anyone on Atkins. It wasn't right for me, although I know plenty of people
who did very well on it. But regardless of my stance on Atkins, I can't stand by while incomplete
and misleading information is spread about.

Yes, I did hear on the news & read in the paper this morning what you said. Yesterday, they were
bothering to tell that part of the story. :-( Typical media!

I read that he gained 60 pounds in "fluid retension" while he was in the hopsital. Maybe one of our
medical people can field this, but I find it really hard to believe that someone can gain 60 pounds
in fluid retension. Mind you, I'm no medical expert.
Hmm, maybe that's what I'll tell MIL though. I'm not overweight, I'm just retaining 60
pounds of fluid.

I heard this morning the reason we only heard part of the story is the first one was released by
PETA, an animals rights group that encourages vegetarianism.

It is possible to gain that much weight due to fluid retention. It happened to my cousin before she
died. It did take several weeks for it to happen not days that they claim here.
