    Many of the Atkins questions are pretty well balanced, but this one got off to lopsided start.

    Anyone care join in?

      I admit I'm new to Atkins, but why is there so much negativity towards this wol? I'm assuming most of the posts in the link were fake- really, your Dad's skin turns grey? You pass out and knock your front teeth out? What is up with that? And what's next? Atkins gave me athlete's foot?

        There's so much negativity because apparently we just eat greasy slabs of meat cooked in fat, wrapped in some more greasy meat, cooked in fat. All day long. Breakfast, lunch and dinner.

        If people didn't jump to conclusions and make assumptions, theyd actually learn what Atkins really is and how it works. I seem to remember a LOT of people being pro-atkins circa 2001...just because they didnt have the willpower to follow through with it shouldnt give them the right to run it down, which they do.

            Is that on the same rung are bacon wrapped butter sticks?

                Sally and Julie- great answers both of you on Yahoo!

                You certainly told 'em - just hope they listen to you and not those other mis-informed unfortunates.

                I get so frustrated at people's incorrect views of Atkins. But people who are genuinely interested in how I have lost my weight and how I look so well are usually keen to understand more. The rest I can happily ignore!

                              You could definitely tell the answers from the Atkineers! I thought they were eloquent and convincing - but then, I'm biased!
