Exclamation I saw an Atkins Billboard...

It said something like "All you can eat on Atkins is:", then it had a lot of pictures of wonderful wholesome food, and the Atkins symbol and the bottom right corner.

The problem was, it was in a terrible location. As I was driving past a train yard with a high fence on my left, I just saw it as the fence ended. I couldn't actually see the whole billboard until I was 2 car lengths away, which meant I only saw it for about 2 seconds as I was going past - and I was really looking (safely).

It was great seeing it, but too bad it wasn't located somewhere better.

Has anyone else seen any Atkins advertising?

Yes, I've seen that same thing on an Atkins kiosk at one of the local grocery stores. I thought it was cool too.

Yes..I've seen it at the grocery store too...I love it! It's an excellent way to educate all the people who think we just eat meat and fat!

Some of the small British restaurants here have blackboards outside the store and it'll say, NEW, ATKINS MENU!

It's nice to know they are starting this here, it can be hard to eat out sometimes.

This morning, on CMT (Country Music Television), there was a bit of a talk to a band called Montgomery-Gentry, and he has lost 80 pounds so far in the last year using Atkins - they were really promoting the lifestyle!.

I've seen in grocery store displays here in Houston. Today I went to a grill for lunch, and all of their dishes could be 'Atkinsized'. Like the fajita plate had everything except tortillas, beans and rice and salad was substituted for that. It was so nice to have a choice. Of course my (fat) friend sat next to me and ate a cheeseburger and some yummy-smelling french fries with ketchup. I had to look away and remind myself that I won't be wearing those around my middle and she might. (Shame on me).

I haven't seen a billboard yet, but nearly every magazine I've seen lately has at least one Atkins item in it. Always a full page add and usually the back cover. EXPENSIVE Ad space... Seems like it's usually the breakfast stuff. Pretty funny to see it in Shape Magazine where they usually blast lc diets. Guess it shows how far the money will get you.

Nope, no atkins Billboards here.
No Billboards here period. Hawaii does not allow Billboards and Advertisments like that.

When I get to my goal weight (or when I look good enough) I'm gonna get a 2 piece bathing suit airbrushed with "brought to you by Atkins" on the cups!
