I actually got a phone call from my mothers boss's sister today. She is trying atkins and she doesnt have a computer (I dont know how she functions) but she was having the worst time on it and couldnt see how she could live on it. She called up the atkins center a bunch and they kept giving her bad information.

They told her she couldnt use garlic powder for her cooking
they told her she couldnt eat tomatoes and onions on induction even though they are on the induction approved list
They told her she couldnt eat bacon or pepperoni at all because of the nitrites

They were filling her head with I dont know what and she was eating steak 3 times a day with only salt and pepper and eating 3 cups of iceberg lettuce and saying she cant stand to do it anymore.


I dont know what they are telling people and honestly no wonder why some people feel they cant do this if this is the type of info they are giving.

She said she felt that they just wanted to get her off the phone and once they heard she was taking medications they were very rude to her.
