There are people who still look at me like I have three heads when I tell them I am on Atkins. I can't tell you how many times I have heard"Oh, people on Atkins lose weight, but it always comes back because no one can stick on that plan very long." I get so aggravated!! People are also always trying to tell me how unhealthy it is!!! The way I used to eat was unhealthy, but no one said anything to me then.
It doesn't help with all the ads for junk food, either. The Sunny Delite commercial especially gets me riled. "The good stuff kids go for" its 5% juice!!! Are people really believing this stuff? I can't take it anymore! Every other commercial is for Jenny Craig, with this woman saying "I ate chocolate cake everyday, and still lost weight". Right. This madness has got to stop. Alright, all you fellow low carbers, let's take over!!!
Boy, that felt good to get that out, thanks for letting me vent! I think I will go eat some celery, and calm down.
