I belong to a cooking magazine kitchen chat group. Several of the people who chat there, including me, formed an atkins group that posts everyday and we share information, tips, recipes and such. But the one thing that I always noticed in our discussions is the old mentality that has been branded in our brains from years of brainwashing that low fat and low calorie were the only way to lose weight. I can't seem to get through to them that atkins doesn't work that way. That you have to disregard what has been preached to you over the years/decades. But it is like talking to a wall. I even referred them back to the book to the exact chapters to read. They complain because they have stalled or whatever. I did get through to one person. But the others have their mind set and I/we can't reach them, yet. They enjoy the affects of atkins but they get discouraged and I hate to see them give up. Some have already. But I won't stop trying to help them, I won't give up.

Have you noticed this?
How do you reach these type of people?

Thanks for letting me share this
Thans for anything you can share with me to help this situation
