My wife avoids any doctor which bothers her about her weight. They all
told her not to try the Atkins diet. She did so anyway, and lost enough
weight that her doctor told her not to loose any more, even though she is
still overweight by the charts. She looks really good now, but I for one
never complained about her weight. You see, the data all show that being
overweight by the charts correlates with a longer life.
