Bought the new Woman's World with "Turbo Atkins" on cover

[imagood1]

The first line says "Lose as much as 16 lbs a week on the breakthrough new Spanish university Turbo Atkins. What happens when you combine the super-effective Atkins diet and the super healthy Mediterranean diet? You get a plan so powerful it can help you lose five, 12 even 16 pounds in a single week....

They go on to give Atkins menu's: White following these Mediterranean-Atkins menus, aim to make fish a main protein source every other day. Add extra protein (from fish, eggs, poultry, lean meat) if you're hungry, but be moderate, as extra calories can slow results. Use spices, vinegar, lemon and Splenda as desired. Drink unlimited water. If desired enjoy two cups of coffee/tea and two 3.5 ounce glasses of red wine daily.


I can hardly wait until the newbies who think that's what this forum is all about start and try to tell us we don't know what we're talking about because they read that this is Atkins......and how many of them are going to think they can loose 16 pounds EVERY week.....

Why can't the company leave well enough alone -- one of the doctors that is quoted in the article is Dr Fred Pescatore - one of the doctors who worked with Dr Atkins and the one who wrote Atkins for Teens.....

Why did you have plain tuna? We are allowd to have fats like mayo to make our food taste and look appetising. I eat tuna at least once a week with mayo and sugar free Mt Olive relish.

You're right - Womans WORLD not Womans Day -- once again I was wrong

Day - world - they are all the same to me.


I have not seen it yet - I get too side tracked about the covers with Brad Pitt on them
Changed the title for you Carole - and thanks for letting us know what it was about.

I think if it does bring persons here to ADBB it is not all that bad. Many of us who come here (and that included me) are not necessarily super knowledgeable about what the Atkins plan is.

Thank you Liv -- you always come through for me!! I agree, anything that gets people here is great - it's just sad so many come with the wrong information - some of which comes from the Atkins Corp to begin with.

if that was Women's World they have a habit of quoting Dr Fred Pescatore whenever they use the word Atkins in ther article, but as was discovered after he was quoted in the infamous kimkins article he was not ask about that diet just somewthing about atkins low carb. That could easily be him being quoted out of context or the question was not about a low fat low carb "atkins" with caffeine and wine included.
