Atkins and Pizza Hut - funny true story

[snorkelman]

Before I was on Atkins I ate at Pizza Hut’s all you can eat buffet. While I was piling on the pizzas, I came across this man who was misinformed and was attempting to be on Atkins. I watched as he piled on about 20 pieces of pizza over the course of an hour and he scraped off the cheese and the pepperoni and sausages and ate everything except for the dough.

Clearly he must have not understood about tomato sauce and the large quantity of cheese.

I laughed at the time because I was imagining what that quantity of cheese would be doing to his bowels.

Now I know that he must have had about 100 carbs during that meal.

Geez! I did stuff like that the first time I did atkins. I never gained but I surely never lost. People need to read the book! I carry some of the wallet sized cards in my purse now to pass out to people who I think might be in need of some guidance with this WOE. Only after I know they are on Atkins though, not just random people, how rude would that be, hee hee.

He had the right idea though, to eat the toppings and toss the crust, and it could have been he was up in OWL where he could handle that extra tomato sauce...but you're right, there still are cheese limits. :yikes
lol Holy Constipation, Batman!

In a pinch though, go ahead and eat the toppings..scrape off the tomato sauce as best you can, but odds are the toppings are going to be just fine.
