This is so great! I wished there would be more support groups!

I have tried at our large University to convince the fitness people to organize a support group since I was aware that at least a dozen physicians, professors and staff whom I know (and thus probably 10 times as many whom I don't know!) are on either Atkins or South Beach or something personalized similar, to organize a support group.

The reaction was a press release from the official nutritionist, the one I specifically talked with, bad-mouthing low carb diets!

We don't need to go at length - she surely hasn't read the books since she claims that low carbers don't get enough fiber! And of course the a calorie is a calorie etc.

I guess it has to be done grass-roots! I admire your energy to get it done!
