What I can't believe is this quote:

As Toni Steer from the Medical Research Council's Human Nutrition Research Unit in Cambridge says: "If you sit down and try to eat just a plate of meat, it is very difficult to do so in any quantity. It is all too boring. I think the Atkins diet works simply because you are not eating as many calories."

Now I don't know about you, but I can quite happily eat a 16 oz. prime rib, cooked medium rare. I see absolutely nothing "difficult" about that!! And even if I did, there are (as has been pointed out) SO many more options to put on that plate!!

Anyway, it's Atkins for Life for me!!!
