I hear your gripe on the Atkins. I did Atkins for a couple months - to kick start my "comeback." I lost 25 lbs in only a few months then I stopped it. It DOES work, and people see other people losing weight on it. People think hey if this guy I know can lose weight on it, so can I - And the fad begins. The problem is, it's so widespread, it too makes me sick. I was at TGI Fridays for dinner last week with my parents, and the first 3 pages are Atkins foods. Ok, so they're trying to make some more money capitolizing on that stuff, ok. Then I ordered some spinach dip thing for appetizer. I've gotten it before, and it came with chips. This time it came with vegetables, and I was like WTF? Turns out the waitress thought I ordered the Atkins version grrr.
Really gets on my nerves. But I'm glad I'm off it, I probably sounded like the "ooh 4 carbs, i can't eat that" Atkins' dieter when I was on it. I'm sure I made people sick.
