I`was in the market the other day and someone commented on atkins, I told them I had lost over 2 stones on it and they said - it isn't good for your liver and kidneys is it? So I said, not for people who think they can do it without guidance it isn't!! I said people who do low fat low carb end up with problems, not sensible people! It shut her up and she didn't comment further. It is so frustrating though that people cant just accept that thousands of people can lose a lot of weight on atkins or lc diets
