hi and welcome everyone!
this woe is brill for me...i feel great on it. Just can't understaand why people are so negative about it (fault of the media i suppose) My dad (who's 70) went on it a couple of months ago, he did it for a week and felt FANTASTIC, lighter, less gassy, less bloated, generally great, unfortunately though he happened to go to the doctors and mentioned in passing the fact that he was doing atkins...BIG MISTAKE...the doc then proceeded to put my dad off completely by going on about heart attacks, blood pressure, strokes, cancer..the lot...atkins causes all of these things!!! - how daft is that? - hey doc i guess that eating pies and chips and endless junk is better then is it?! - ridiculous.
