I am a woman, Chris. Don't make me come over there and smack you with a boob flap.

My dad used to unbuckle his belt, too, when he wanted to punish me -- just not for the same reason!

Re: Funniest Rubbish Written About Atkins?

here's my favorite come back to the Atkins is going to kill you or is not good for you "Which do you think will kill me first, being 160 pounds over weight or doing Atkins to lose it?" I also point out that I eat more veggies on Atkins than I ever did before. Before french fries, mashed potatoes, and pasta were my favorite sides. I would go days if not weeks without eating a vegetable. Now that can't be good.

Cheryl, were we twins separated at birth? That is exactly what I say to them.

How do you smack someone with a boob flap? Sounds funny enough to try on Cory when I get home.

You throw it over your shoulder like a boa. Not that I've done that. Not publically.

I don't think mine can stretch far enough...I'll have to boob-slap Cory like the Fembots in Austin Powers (you know, the ones with guns in their bras )

Re: Funniest Rubbish Written About Atkins?

Yes a lot of us had very veg-free diets before we came to Atkins. I for one definitely had potatoes or pasta INSTEAD of green veggies or salad.

A common misconception is that Atkineers eat vast amounts of meat. I'm going to make sure that I make it quite clear to anyone who says that to me, that we eat a normal amount of meat and swap our spuds and pasta for salad. Absolutely no-one can say that is a bad thing!

Re: Funniest Rubbish Written About Atkins?

I have thought about when folks sit and say Atkins is bad for you, all the while scarfing down a heavily carbed out meal. I think, what they mean is, IF they were dieting, THEY would go low-fat, because they think it is better for you. SO they think low-fat is better for YOU to go on, however, THEY are not dieting, so they can eat whatever they want.

They are sort of back seat dieters, so to speak.

ROFL, I have known a few of these in my time!!!!!!

Helena, That is a GREAT way to defend your lifestyle. I have a post here somewhere talking about the food pyramid in the US. They recommend only 2.5 cups of vegetables a day!!! Can you believe that??? We get that on induction. And on OWL I eat 2-3 times that much of vegetables every day.

Re: Funniest Rubbish Written About Atkins?

That is SO true, G-MOM, just like back seat drivers who cannot drive and want to give you advice!

Your pictures and your stats make me want to cry. You must have weighed about the same as me. I'm 321 today. I dream of the day (will it ever come?) when I can add that to my siggy too! I have lost 2.5 inches off my hips and oh what I would not give to be able to say it's 12 inches! Wow you have done fantatically well. You look amazing. I'd love to read your journal, if you have one. Helena

Re: Funniest Rubbish Written About Atkins?

Oh, Punkin, I was 322 lbs and 100% miserable when I started, and believe me, you can do it, if I can do it! Thank you so much for the compliments. I tell you, it has taken me a long, long time to lose this weight and I still have 40lbs left to go . I know losing weight is not easy for you, but think of it this way (you have heard it before, but it is so true), you can be 321 lbs (or more) in 3 years, OR you could be down 100 or 120lbs. So what if it takes 10 years, you will feel so much better working on it, than eating whatever.

Honestly, I don't have a journal! I was never quite comfortable revealing everything to the world. I did write my story for the Loser's Lounge (it's a sticky on the main forum) when I was 84 or so lbs down. I have had my ups and downs and now, I am struggling getting my exercise in. This simply must get done!

I will check out that link ASAP!

Keep pluggin' away darlin', I know you can do it!

Re: Funniest Rubbish Written About Atkins?

This has been a delightful romp! I have chuckled, and agreed...The funniest point is about Dr A's death and the assumption He died eating his own diet...His untimely and accidental death via slipping on ice and causing a brain injury is just tragic! Then to have the whole world turn and agree for a moment with the low carb facts was bizarre...and of course now, they are right back to their low-fat dogma...
All ya can do is LIVE IT OUT THERE AND LET ME SEE THE FRUIT...
I don't argue or debate, I just do it. It works for me, it's great for me to be free of sugar cycles, appetite issues, cravings and the terrrible moodiness of blood sugar issues...I feel like a new person, let them yak all they want, I have a bike to go ride, a trail to walk, or fun to have!!!

Re: Funniest Rubbish Written About Atkins?

How about when Atkins Nutritionals filed for bankruptcy? People were like, "How are you going to do the diet? They went bankrupt!" Umm...hello....I can still buy meat, fish, eggs, cheese and vegetables!

Re: Funniest Rubbish Written About Atkins?

anybody remember the egg and meat price jump back in late 03 and 04? the news said it was cause of all the Atkins dieters eating when in fact id was a bird virus wiping out vast supples of birds and the mad cow ban on canadian beef but we got the blame.
