Bob,

Your post is so timely for me. I went to my dr. a couple of days ago to see about getting off some medication because I was afraid it was causing my stall. After a very stern lecture about Atkins and it's harmful side effects, the Dr. ordered a full blood work-up instead of just a thyroid check that we were planning to do. I have been sitting nervously by the phone waiting for him to drop the bomb, expecting the numbers to be horrid.

After reading your post - I just believe I'll relax and have my normal Atkins foods for the weekend.

I told a friend of mine that my Dr. suspected that people who followed Atkins would end up with higher cancer rates, she retorted, "so what - have a glass of wine, the news says that will fix anything"

So much hype - Kudo's to you for publishing your good news!
