Atkins madness - fast food?
I know there was a post a bit ago about how people follow the crowd but is anyone else being driven mad by the fact that one diet is successful and now almost every restraunt commerical is advertising "X product is Atkins aproved with only X amount of carbs".
You know its cool that your trying to improve carb count to get sales however guess what, You can make something low on carbs but that doesnt make it good for you...
So am I the only one being really annoyed by the fact that restaraunts are going so low as to say "this food is aproved by this diet and only has a few carbs". I dont know if people realize this but carbs WONT kill you, everything has carbs and you need carbs to keep moving carbs = energy, all your getting if you eat a 6 carb sandwitch is more fat, and less energy due to the lack of sugar.
For example Ive seen 7 commercials in the last hour about how some random new food is aproved by the Atkins diet, now one or two places are cool however, Burger king, subway, TGI fridays, pizza hut, almost every single fast food place is saying "this thing is good for you because we can remove the sugar from it and make it just raw fat/protein (mostly fat since raw protein doesnt taste to amazing.
If im totally biased towards these commericals please tell me but honestly this is getting pretty frustrating.
