This is the most stupid diet on the planet!! People, get a clue! And I'm not mad just because a client cancelled on me. I am a consultant for a gourmet food company. I do in-home taste-testing parties. I was supposed to have one in 2 weeks. She cancelled because everyone she knows is doing Atkins and we have too many baked goods I guess. Good God!! If you can't leave the house to go to a party, stay home and leave me out of it! By the way, this explains how I feel about Atkins. Even my mom got sucked into Atkins. I'm sick of seeing Low-carb ANYTHING at the grocery store. Don't you know that they are fleecing you? Who do you think that money goes to? Somehow, they have managed to fabricate a study saying it's not all bad, and have slickly marketed it in such a way to make the most money! Sure I use Myoplex supplements, and yes I realize that EAS makes money off of it. But I don't NEED to use them. I just choose to, because the convenience of it overrides the price for me. It's 2 less meals a day that I have to worry about making. Aaaarrrgh! I'm not even sure why this bothers me so much. It's not like I'm the one stuffing myself with all those trans-fats! So while the Atkins peoople are in their 60's having a "grabber" (heart attack), I'm going to be in the best shape of my life, because I don't want to be just skinny or thin, I want to be healthy. At least I can have cake if I want to, so pbbtttthhh!
