I hadn't thought of that, but you are right. I know someone who has been doing Atkins for almost a year. He and is brother are both very overweight (460 and 420 respectively, at the start). The guy is only 5'9" and the goal weight set for him by his doctor is 260, due in large part to the lower half of his body being so muscular from carrying around all that weight for years. When they did his body fat test, his doctor told him that at a "desirable" weight for his height, age and bone structure, he's have less than 3% body fat.

Kind of off the subject but a friend who lives within 10 minutes or so from the hospital where this woman died says that locals are claiming this woman was mentally disabled. I have no references to back it up, and neither does she so far. but that's the local gossip/speculation.
