Atkins diet kills two people

[mahayana]

Right. That's why I said really obese. Someone over 300 pounds is going to die from heart attack or stroke; putting them on a diet that they probably won't stick to is prolonging their health risk.

Do you know of harm done by this? I just have experience of two relatives who are normal weight now by having this procedure.

These people could hardly get out of a chair by themselves. They were out of breath walking to their mailbox. I couldn't carry the amount of weight they each lost; a 90 pound sack of concrete is about the limit to what I can pick up and carry.
