I found when the word "Atkins" was mentioned it was a backlash of comments, BUT when I just said it is a "Diabetic Diet" ie, no sugar or insulin producing products, ie, bread, potatoes, rice, etc. they IMMEDIATELY got quiet. Subject changed instantly.

I do have a uncle who is a diabetic and this diet is almost EXACTLY what he is eating and it is NOT called atkins. Funny huh?

But most of the time, I just answer, see for yourself it works! and i show my new body off. (down 28 lbs now and it can be easily seen)
