Glad you found us. Congrats on the 40 lbs lost, that's wonderful.

Um, not sure what you mean about affecting the heart muscle. Do you mean damage? or does the muscel weaken? Are you concerned about cholesterol clogging the arteries?? Not sure about being "eating at the heart muscle"????

I'll try to answer though, if I'm more sure of the question ;)

Hi Gloria, I,am not sure about the heart muscle,but if DR. ATKINS is any example,he is in his 60's at least.he seems to be doing alright and he is a heart doctor. Congrats on your weight loss....stay in touch.....SUKY
