Ugh, you're right MrFreddy, I misread that. Um, why don't I believe her?!?

I have been following the plan for 8 months now. There's no way I've gained any weight back, especially when I stick to what's allowed. I'm interested in the meal plans, because I'm inclined to believe that you might gain weight eating "unlimited amounts of fatty meats, cheeses, and cream" as is the perception of Atkins. Yes, there is a metabolic advantage, but it doesn't outweigh the idea of a person my size, for instance, eating 5000 calories a day.

But, as long as they get the results they want as an excuse to condemn low carb with the Atkins name, more power to 'em, right?
