[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]the heat attack thing never works bc the person can easily observe reality - tons of people who are carrying an extra 50 pounds are just fine

If you find him unattractive bc you view home as lazy or weak for being overweight you need to accept that and deal with your feelings [/quote]

OP here. He is on three medications for his heart and lipids. He is at very high risk for HA / MI. Per his cardiologist. He had a great deal of plaque and multivessel disease. He found out about this three years ago when he turned 50. I thought this would be a wake up call.  It wasn't. He just gained weight and i forgot to mention, picked up an occasional nicotine habit. Its bad.. I'm upset and angry.  He does exercise a lot though.  [/quote]

well Op I lost 80 lbs and am now a normal BMI

I still have high blood pressure and have to take meds to control it and I have the beginning of heart disease. Once I lost the weight doctors suddenly changed to these things are often genetic and won’t matter how much weight you lose ….

It’s not that your DH shouldn’t lose weight but you should understand more about heart diseases and realize that it’s not all about weight [/quote]o

No it’s not all about weight - but it is hugely influenced by diet. Lots of healthy weight people develop heart disease because of what they eat - and of course smoking is huge.

If you have heart disease and don’t smoke, you can begin reversing that heart disease within weeks by following something close to the Pritikin plan for diet - ditch the sugar and saturated fats and eat tons of plants. The research on this is incontrovertible, but the majority of people don’t want to make the commitment to substantial lifestyle changes and prefer to live with the anxiety about when and whether it will be a massive coronary or a massive stroke.[/quote]

We are all waiting to see this incontrovertible research that following the Pritkin plan reduces the incidence of heart attacks and strokes in people with diabetes and heart disease.

Are you kidding? How old are you? It’s common knowledge that Pritikin works, in the people willing to make the commitment and stick to it.

The federal government recognizes the efficacy of Pritikin in reversing heart disease.

Go pick another fight elsewhere, you’re not winning this one. [/quote]

I’m 43 and graduated from medical school in 2006.

I just did a quick google search of the Pritkin plan and found this:

“The Pritikin Diet: Discredited By Medicine But Now Endorsed By Your Federal Government!”

What you are is a liar and internet contrarian.

It isn't even a question among cardiologists that the Pritikin Plan works, that the China Study is valid and that there is a clear path to reserve heart disease.

The only issue is that so many patients won't care for themselves, just like OP's husband.

But please, do carry on lying and denying decades of scientific studies.[/quote]

What did I lie about?

I posted a link to a blog article written by a cardiologist saying that cardiologists don’t believe this plan is valid.
