I hear he's doing well, that his high fat high protein lifestyle combined with genes (probably) led to the bypass. Not an endorsement for low carb diets, certainly, but I'm glad to hear he's on the mend.

His arteries didnt get clogged from being on the South Beach Diet. The South Beach Diet promotes lean meats and low fat products...not just low carb. The other night on that weight loss show, will have to look the name up in a minute--forgot the name, they said that Bill has long been known to love fatty and fried foods. They showed news clips where he was always walking around with fried chicken or another fatty food in his hand. They also said on that show that he had lost quite a bit of weight in the last year or so and it was because it was following the SBD.

So in other words....a year of following a low fat, low carb diet like South Beach Diet wont lead to him needing a quad bypass.

You're right, it doesn't happen over night. But the South Beach diet certainly didn't help any...at least that's what the reports are. Did you hear his doctors on Larry King last night?
