I want to officially proclaim my support of Atkins and other low-carb diets. For many people that is the last and best resort. For people who are disabled or have limited mobility and are overweight, it can be the best option. There is very little exercise required for weight loss and maintenance. Not that I’m advocating being sedentary. I believe we should get adequate exercise and be as active as possible. But there is a large percentage of people for whom this is not possible. No one is happy being overweight, regardless of what they say.
