It sounds like he will be dead from being overweight in the first place. All those bad fats are ok on the Atkins diet. Sorry to say but if you stick to it, it does work. At first the cholesterol will go up a bit but after a while it will drop below were it was. Dont knock it till you have tried it! I dont eat many carbs and I am the most hyper guy you will ever meet. He just needs to get used to taking in less carbs and the crash will reverse. He can add good carbs to his meal after the 14 day induction. Actually you can eat carbs on the Atkins just not more than 20 grams for the first 14 days. After that I would stick to the low glysimic carbs like we all should unless you are trying to gain.
