I like the new ads with the Atkins Food pyramid, and the mention in it that you DON'T NEED the packaged foods to to the plan!

It was in today's Sunday paper Parade section, on the back, I'm putting it on MY fridge too!

That's where I saw it. I think it might help "rescue" the image of the plan. Maybe more people will learn Atkins isn't just meat and cheese... and that you don't have to use the bars, shakes, and all the packaged things.

THanks for posting it. I"m printing it now.

This food pyramid appears on the back of today's Parade magazine.

I noticed our local grocery store has a big cardboard stand up sign showing all the foods you "can " eat on Atkins.............. Fresh veggies, cheeses, meats, berries..........Right beside all the Atkins Products !! Breads, bars, pancake mix, syrups, muffin mix, shakes. And a bunch of pamphets showing all the Atkins products. Why can't they just stick to promoting the plan and not sell us all this crap!!

The Pyramid is fair play though

Because they don't make money on the plan after you spend your 6 bucks on the book if they don't have "stuff" to sell you. I think they're basically trying to fight the "all meat" image and take a swipe at South Beach being touted as "healthier than Atkins".

In any case, it's nice to see the emphasis on the plan and not the products.
