    Re: Day 18!! Q: Atkins Haters!! What to do??

    Wow. I guess I'm just meaner than most of you. LOL

    It never fails. The fact that I've lost a considerable amount of weight and that I exercise regularly comes up more often than I'd like - but it's hardly a secret. I absolutely tell people that I've been an Atkins devotee for sneaking up on 4 years now.

    I put it on my Random Thoughts page - and it's something I use on a regular basis when talking to people.

    Don't come at me with the ever-tired "Atkins is soooo unhealthy" garbage unless you've done more research on it than I have - and that means you've invested some serious amounts of time. I'm not interested in interpretations of what your sister's boyfriend's aunt's half brother's girlfriend's cousin's mechanic had to say or anything that came off Hard Copy. If you haven't read the book you have not educated yourself on the Atkins program. The end. 99% of what we hear about in magazines/on TV/from other people is the Weight Watchers equivalent of someone who spends their entire point allotment on Skinny Cow ice cream and Fat Free potato chips. Technically, you *can* do that within the framework of the program, but it's a blatant abuse of the structure and intention of the program and I will treat it as so.
    Generally speaking, it shuts them up. This is a good thing - because having a battle of wits with an unarmed person isn't very much fun. - And really, it's like the old saying goes - "Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level and then trump you with experience."

      It is SO true that these people are un-educated in Atkins, but as some of you have said they still say that they "Know the truth" and it is SO bad for us.
      There are some great responces here!! I guess I will have to hope that I keep losing and show these people real results!! I havent felt this good physically in, well years!!!
      Many thanks everyone!

        I would take a pic of myself on the beach in my 2 piece, smiling my off. With a note in bold letters that read...."HOW DO YA LIKE ME NOW!" They're jealous because it takes a real soldier to sail through induction and beyond. They are the same ones that will come to you later and ask " Hey, do ya still have thata, atkins book?
