You know, whats funny too me is that I was one of these people as recently as three monthes ago :-) I can say for most people, they believe, at least I did, most of the negative press ....ie Kidney problems,heart problems etc. That was what I said to my coworker and he has lost over 50 lbs. But in practice I am a very inquisitive type person, so I decided to research it for myself.
At this point, I avoid using the word Atkins b/c of the response of most people, I just say I am cutting out processed foods and refined sugars/flour etc., unless specifically asked, which I normally respond that I'm kinda on atkins b/c most people think of steak/butter/pork rinds etc, which I don't eat, I stick to chicken and fish and olive oil.
