So everytime there is a family event, he's always there shooting his mouth off that Atkins is bad. He also looks that what we are eating and says stuff like "Looks like someone is cheating on their diet!" if he sees broccoli or other non-meat foods on them.

I'm surprised he didn't change his mind about Atkins after seeing your results. I mean, hint, hint... something I did might have been wrong since she seems to be doing much better now than she did before Atkins.

Your poor sister though... Half a package of Bologna?! He must have had quite a stinky breath.

Wow...that's all I have to say. I am afraid of eating strawberries, but apparently I am allowed to eat frosted flakes with lots of milk!

Yeah, but it is eaten separately, so it is ALL OK.

Even my endocrinologist was shocked when I told her I get 3 cups of vegetables a day while doing Atkins. It's really an uphill battle to explain to people that I'm not actually on a "Steak to Eat, Bacon Grease to Drink" diet.

He doesn't think its Atkins because it wasn't the way he was doing it. When I moved to OWL and was able to eat things like fruit, etc. he used to snarkily smile at me and then whisper something like "I knew you wouldn't last" or something like that.

He would sit across from me and eat things that I couldn't like mashed potatoes or pasta. And of course, ask me if I wanted any.

Anyhow, I only put up with him because I love my sister. If it wasn't for her...........

Re: What I OVERheard from someone doing "Atkins" today.

Thats so funny.I have experianced some frustration trying to get my mother-in-law and sister-in-law to understand this diet.i have had great sucess with it by strictly following the rules.They just cant seem to understand that even if you keep your carbs under 20 during induction, at the end of the day you cant have just 1 butter tart. They have said they read the book but just dont understand why i lose weight and they cant drop a pound after a few weeks.It just couldnt be the little treat they give themselves every night.lol.I have given up trying to explain but they still tell people that it doesnt work for women.
Just to tell newbees i have lost 22lbs in 2 months,my sugar craving is gone,dont miss it,and sleeping better,feel great.

Re: What I OVERheard from someone doing "Atkins" today.

these dummies dont understand that it doesnt matter if you eat well all day then you can "afford" to cheat at night. It ISNT CALORIE COUNTING. one cheat will knock you out of ketosis, and take you like two days to get back in. Its CHEMISTRY. If they could wrap their tiny little brains around that, it might work.

Sigh. my best friend is in the same calorie counting 'eat right then cheat' mentality, and it just ticks me off. Today she told me she was going to lose 30lbs from now till the end of october(we all have an annual camping trip then), start eating right and working out. so I was like yay good for you! until she said "yeah weight watchers is what works for me so im going to do that."
I said "i really suggest you try atkins. I've lost 17lbs in less than 2 months" She goes "atkins is too much reading and rules, on ww all i have to do is stay under my points. plus I can have candy" then proceeded to eat a bag of m&ms. I'd bet 100 bucks she never joins the gym. On top of that... she has 110lbs to lose. And she says weight watchers WORKED?
STARVING works... doesn't mean its the correct way to do it.
