    I wanna slap people sometimes!

    So I had to take a very long bus ride today and brought along DANDR to peruse since today was my first day back to induction. I love that book btw! Anyway I'm merrily reading along when a lady sits down next to me. A few minutes pass and she says, "Is the the Atkins Diet book you're reading?" And I say "Yes it is!" Thinking that she's familiar with it and a proponent of Atkins. WRONG! She launches into how dangerous the diet is and that Dr. Atkins died from a heart attack from the diet and that people get gout and gall stones and kidney diseases and heart attacks and yada, yada, yada, yada...you really shouldn't do that diet! And you know I could've launched into a counter-attack on her but for some reason I just didn't have it in me. I just decided to say one thing and I told her... "That's your opinion and you know what they say about opions, they're just like assholes, everybody has them!" And turned back to my book and that was that! LOLOLOL! I'm just amazed at how you can go to the store and a restaurant and get low carb options for eating but yet people still have this belief that Atkins is dangerous for you! UGH! Stupid people!

    I often wondered how eating a ham salad could be bad for someone. Trouble is none of the anti Atkins brigade can ever come up with an answer for it. Baffles me that does

        That was a good answer, I'm sure not the one she expected. Get used to it though, people are going to lecture you on this all the time. Just let it roll of your back and keep moving. It can be frustrating!

          Sorry she lashed out at you like that. I always ask people if they've read it, and when they say no...I just smile. Of course if they had, they wouldn't be making such a remark.

          Good for you, I take my DANDR with me all the time in my purse. It's excellent reading and I always feel more motivated and powerful after each read.

                    Yeah you know it's true. As I was reading it today there were things that really struck me as kind of "now I get it" feeling even though I've read the book. I think it's just really good to re-read it! I had a highlighter and was highligting a lot of good quotes!

                            You so right Rich.
                            (It wouldn't let me rep you, but I tried)

                            Since starting this WOE, I've eaten so much more salad then did before. Not just a bit of salad. I mean whole platefuls of salad.

                            I think the woman, was trying be helpful, and warn of dangers, that she thought existed.
                            However I agree, you want to slap people like this.

                              That was a great comeback... I wish I had the nerve to say something like that.. I won't even read my Atkins book in public..
