Well, he's not exactly wrong. Many people DO find it ridiculously difficult to stay on Atkins. I used to be one of those people. You gotta take the proven techniques that Dr. A. provided to us, and tweak them to fit your needs.

Yeah, a lot of people think that Atkins people only eat eggs, cheese and beef. UM hello, that would get very boring... But what they don't realize is that it's actually quite luxuriously diverse... You just have to be creative and think about all the things you CAN eat.... There is a lot...

The biggest iss is that news stations are reporting the Mediterranean Diet is healthy.

Where is the word Atkins?

You might not see it. Don't be surprised. The mainstream is fighting this tooth and nail.

There's no money to be made off healthy people.

I think it's also because these same networks sell ads to Kelloggs and we all know that money and advertising is everything. The national beef council doesn't sponsor ABC news.

A-men. You also can't sell processed foods to healthy eaters. The commercials we're inundated with are never for anything you can find around the perimeter of the grocery store.

ETA: I just saw your comment Cleo. So true!

Somebody should take all the processed foods, grind them up, and make gasoline.
