It sounds about like a guy I work with. He was telling me about Atkins before I started. Luckily, I had already read the book. He said the one week, you have to follow the plan very closely. Then the next week, you can eat snack cakes and anything you want. And, you keep alternating it every week. Where in the world did he get a hairbrained idea like that?


Sounds to me like he's confusing Atkins with some of the body-building plans that allow 1 "carb up" day per week followed by 5 days of strenuous weight resistance training combined with very low carb and not getting either one of them right. Just goes to show you...a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing. All his plan will get him is more pounds and really messed up bloodwork.
