Well, for some reason I can't send a personal email and it looks like we're not supposed to anyway!
But to respond - I guess my aim is not to prove Atkins is bad (I may have overstepped my bounds in saying this!) I just want to talk about the dangers of such a diet, or any for that matter.
I personally have been on weight watchers since January of this year and have lost 20 pounds thus far. I'm trying to take a look at why Atkins draws so many in and why other weight management programs do not. I suppose the easy answer is that you can eat more of what you want on Atkins, but I'd like to know more.
There's just such a huge controversy now between Atkins and non-Atkins type "diets", I'd love address some of that in my speech!
