at my school, everyone jokes about Atkins dying on his own diet, idk if this is true or not, but that would sure lure me away from using it

Yeah I heard Dr. Atkin was fat.

What's up with that?

I don't think the Atkins diet, taken strictly as it's written, is very good for you.
Eating half a dozen fried eggs and a slab of bacon for breakfast every morning isn't good for your arteries, no matter how few carbs you're eating.
And that much protein? No thanks, I like my kidneys how they are....functioning normally.

People want an easy way out. The Atkins diet promises super-fast weight loss, and it delivers. It isn't so up-front about the fact that once you start eating carbs again, you blow right back up.

What ever happened to exercising and eating a lower-fat, balanced diet all the time? It's not hard.

-B.

It's a sad turn of events but happening all across the country. People are losing dear family and friends to the Atkins fad, and it's just not right.

No I don't mean people are dying... I mean they get so frailing ANNOYING you have to cut off contact just to get them to shut the hell up about their stupid diet.

Damn witnessing diet guru followers trying to convert everyone. It's a cult!!! Deprogram the bread haters!

Eating habits are one step removed from bowel habits and even LESS interesting. Keep your Atkins religion to yourself please.

Banshee - your totally right, what ever did happen to the good ole' fasion diet of just eating right, a good balanced meal
Shoktek - thanks for the link. Its interesting to see where all the foods rank,
RANT- they are very annoying, my boss's wife made him start the Atkins diet with her, and he dosn't even need it, he's not overweight or anything. she keeps saying how good it is for them..... good? i don't think so!!!

I have a friend who was on this diet. he lost 40 pounds pretty fast. but as soon as we stopped the diet it came right back. He finally came to his senses and went to the old fashioned exercise and eating a balanced meal.
