Hi everyone,

When I am in Saudi (I am in the UK until 12th Dec.) I sometimes watch Carlton Food Network, Taste Channel, and Rosemary Conley has a programme on there, I find myself shouting at the television, telling her not to be such a stupid woman, and to go and buy the Atkins book and READ IT!!!!!

I have also seen many other programmes where the low-fat way of eating is pushed, but I do not think I have seen one where low-carb is the norm. Though saying that, there was a Ready Steady Cook on BBC 2 last week, and one of the contestants was following Atkins, but she took potatoes along with her other food, as I missed the very begining of the programme I am not sure why she took them.

I hope you do get a reply from Steve Wright, Andy, though I would not be able to join your groupe if you went 'mob handed' I would be with you in spirit!!
