Thanks so much for that info saltnpeppa... I always try to stay awake to watch it, but don't always succeed. Think I'll have some coffee this evening. :hyper:
What a shame that Dr. Atkins left us before he could see what a total turnaround of opinion and press this WOE is getting. Atkins for Life! |
the Press
Ya know, i think this is a reairing of the show... a co-worker of mine was telling me about watching this last week.. when i told her i am doing Atkin's as a way of life.
She was telling me how she always thought negative things about it.. but is actually seeing all the positive spins on it... and is having a change of mind Congrat's to the press... they won me over... Next the world.. :yay: |
I can not wait to see it!!!!!!!!!
Thanks!! |
I'll be watching :-)

I did NOT like that segment. The "expert" dude said that atkins allows way too much fat...
Oh, and the South Beach diet was on both dateline and 20/20 tonight - the latest craze....anyone here on it? The 1st phase sounds like atkins induciton exactly..... |
Wow, that was lame.
1) They need to do some more research before reporting. 2) They need a better expert, perhaps 1 that isn't trying to sell his book. 3) Too much fat on Atkins, come on! That's part of the diet, read Atkins dude! 4) They tried to make the South Beach Diet to be this great new diet, and yet from what they said it sounded like Atkins. No wonder America is getting fatter they're getting garbage like this being reported as news. My 20 carbs, Mike |
I watched them both, too. What a disappointment... wasn't worth staying up a losing that extra hour of sleep. :yawn:
South Beach sounds exactly like modified Atkins. Sounds like plagerism, too... People just don't get it... still. |
yeah I was disappointed too. I copied and pasted the announcement from the atkins site. I bet they were pretty upset too. it's ok though, I'm telling friends all about this and am sure it will be 'validated' by the establishment in < 5 yrs.
|
yeah, that was real lame!
By the way, what is the difference between the South Beach diet and the Atkins one? Aside from the Clintons opting for the former. |

My understanding is that SBD is basically Atkins with a little less fat and restrictions on total calories. I may be wrong, though. |
Plagerism, I'll say!
I saw them too and boy what a disappointment. It is totally amazing to me that the SB guy can get away with taking ATkins diet, modifying it and making money with it! His first two weeks are exactly like induction....exactly! I'm with you, Bon about the plagerism. Geez, what next.
