    Grrrrrrr..Whats up with the Atkins haters!!!

    Well day two has gone pretty well for me and my DH. We had some great catfish last night and chicken salad today, so I feel very strongly that we are eating SOOO MUCH HEALTHIER THAN BEFORE! We had chips, sweets and all of the bad stuff daily! Let me ge to my point here! This moring at a meeting my DH, was confronted with chocolate milk, orange juice and doughtnuts!!! He resisted and I am so pround of him. He mentioned to his boss that he was doing Atkins and BOOM....he spouted off with a comment...."THAT IS NOT HEALTHY" I was so upset by this, my DH however blew it off. I was like omg being over 300 pounds and being addicted to sweets is sure not healthy either! Just made me mad! So I ask what is up with the Atkins Haters Out There?!?!?!?! I am even scared now to tell my Doc, what if she advises against it. I was just in last week and told her I am deciding on what program to follow and was leaning at that time toward WW. Thanks for the Vent....hope you all are having a great carb day!

    Hello NDGirl,
    Most people are misinformed when it comes to the knowlege of Atkins.
    As far as your doctor is concerned, if I were you I would continue doing Atkins so she can see for herself how healthy you're getting. Your lab results and the scale will tell enough of the story to prove to her that Atkins is right for you.
    Congratulations to both you and your husband for choosing the healthiest lifestyle there is. By the way, Atkins reversed my Type-2 Diabetes, kicked my high blood pressure to the curb, and brought my blood chemistry to the healthiest levels ever. Not to mention allowing me to lose over 140 pounds.
    You and your husband are going to get healthy, healthy, healthy!
    Welcome to ADBB abd to Atkins.
    I would like to invite you to come on over to Century Club Roll call and check in everyday. Great group of folks with lots of support.
    Hope to see you there.
    Sincerely, Sherri

        You're very welcome Kari! Work the Atkins Plan 100% and you'll get 100% results!
        Thank you for the compliments, means alot to me.
        I remember a day when I thought there was no hope. I felt trapped in a body of nearly 400 pounds. It was when I found Atkins that my life turned around for the best.
        This will happen for you and your DH too.
        Stick with us, we'll support you all the way and you can tell those nay sayers to stuff it.
        Sherri
        P.S. I'll be here reading your success story some day in the near future.

          Welcome NDGirl-

          For you and your DH, illy started a great thread on this topic last month:
          Atkins Diet Bulletin Board
          http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/second-time-around-club/58685-i-have-rant.html

          We owe a big Thank You for illy and the others in this thread.

          As Sherri (one of ADBB's fantastic sources of both information and inspiration and another Thank You) says, people are mis-informed.

          If someone asks or if I volunteer information, I've evolved my message lately to something like, 'Yeah I'm eating veggies and fish and good stuff and working out a lot." It's all good and positive.

            I just say I've removed sugar and flour from my diet. No intelligent person can deny that those items are unhealthy.
