i just read an interview from the sisters of the 3fat chicks website and book. they stated "you might like the atkins diet if you love meat and hate veggies" omg, i guess they have not read the book. i eat more veggies now than i ever did low cal. people only want to sell their way of thinking. i got really upset, but i guess its because i have never felt better than when following atkins. thanks for listening to me rant!! good luck everyone

Re: 3fat chicks opinion of atkins
I also eat more salad and veg now. People often say 'what are you going to have for dinner - cheese or meat? as if there is no other option!'. Crazy.224/200/165

Re: 3fat chicks opinion of atkins
i have to admit i always though of atkins like that too.. and thought well south beach is healthier.. after i read atkins the first time i realized uhh its very similar to south beach and atkins is healthy. eventually you can eat pasta again just in small limited portions.. if it wasnt like that idk if i would want to stick to this "diet" very long lol but really if you sat and think about it people were eating like this before all this processed crap came along.22/F/CA SD: 12-3-08

Re: 3fat chicks opinion of atkins
I completely agree with you! I tell people all the time that everything I eat I can pronounce, lol. And most of what I eat I could grow myself, hehe. Let's see someone try and grow some cheese-its, lol.Originally posted by MySkinnyMission View Post
One of my favorite things to do is....Someone will say, oh how are you losing your weight? And I say, I eat tons of green veggies, and chicken, fish. I eat Italian salads with pepperoni and olives, I eat Portabello mushroom cheese burgers....some people call it Atkins. And so far not one person didn't drop their mouths =) Fantastic! If I'd started with the fact that it was Atkins they wouldn't have let me get in anything else after that.

Re: 3fat chicks opinion of atkins
Great response, Liss
Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!
Check out our Low Carb Recipes website and add to it!!
