I actually thought the article was extremely misleading; it was as if they forgot to interview people who follow Atkins a little more by the book. They made it seem as if everyone doing an LC plan eats pounds of red meat topped by cream sauces at each meal. They also referred to it as a "quick fix" diet (objectivity, anyone?), which I obviously don't agree with. The sample menu they gave -- which included a lunch of "bacon and a HUNK of cheese" -- is, I think, a little atypical. Not that I never have bacon or cheese, but it's not in the "nausea"-inducing quantities they suggest, and it's usually along with a salad, eggs, or other dish.

I don't mean to rant, but I was pretty disappointed by the spin they put on this issue.
