Leora, I think it is horrible that you feel you need to defend yourself...this is a board that everybody should be welcome at. There are several of us that tweek the diet, and actually Lisa does also, she does not eat 20g of carbs EVERYDAY, nor does she keep her fat/protein ratio EXACTLY at what Dr. Atkins states, nobody does...I don't think this was a personal attack, it could not have been I felt the sting of it also but decided to ignore it and post anyways...

Do what you need to do in order to make this diet work for you, don't leave the site because you feel offended by one, everybody deserves a bad day and we are safe people for others to attack because there is no personal connect. Take everything with a grain of salt and know you have many here that support and welcome you.
