    Just on a soapbox for a moment!

    As I sit here with my Whole foods salad which consists of two cups of mixed greens, 6 oz. of grilled chicken breast, cucumbers, broccoli and olive oil and vinegar......I watch as a guy, who berated me about atkins, eats his Lean Cusine, rice cakes and diet Dr. Pepper and whines all day about being hungry.....Plus, he has lost three pounds in three months....I have lost 35 pounds in three months. His blood pressure has remained high and his pre-diabetes is still there......All my numbers, BEAUTIFUL!

    His sodium intake from that meal alone is 59% and mine is non-existent. His veggie count...hmmmm...zero!

    His "natural" food count? Maybe he would get a point for that if he ate the box it came in!

    He said, "my lifestyle choice is inappropriate." I'm sorry, did I just beat a an endagered baby seal to death and eat it in front of you while stealing food from a homeless orphan.....NOOOOOO, I ate vegetables.

    Ok, I feel better. Sorry for the rant!

          It's amazing to me how people think they are eating healthy food when they are eating processed food full of unpronounceable stuff, yet they don't think that those of us eating this WOE is healthy.
          Keep on doing what you are doing - the results should speak for themselves.

                Nice visual on the eating of the cardboard box.

                Compared to the contents of some of those meals, the box may also be the tastier choice, plus it has the added benefit of fiber!

                And, how dare you eat vegetables. You are on Atkins. You are supposed to show off your inner caveman carnivore by standing up high on your desk eating the internal organs of a goat with your bare hands, necktie tied around your head and warrior striped hunter facepaint. After you've finished a portion that would put most family's protein ingestion for a week to shame, you're smear your hands and face with lard and slowly lick it clean.

                    Re: Just on a soapbox for a moment!

                    I was at a family party on Saturday where a relative who just lost 5 pounds on WW was telling me how "unhealthy" Atkins is...and then she proceeded to talk about how she spent all of her points on Saturday on Twizzlers and beer (???????) Do they not HEAR themselves???? Are they kidding?

                    I mostly just ignore people and don't talk about my weight loss or what I eat. It's too exhausting most of the time!!!!

                      people can be so ignorant.

                      i got the "you know it's bad for you not to eat carbs right?"
                      my response "i eat carbs, just in the form of veggies mainly"
                      her response "oh. well gosh that must be so hard. i would DIE without bread or pasta".
                      and that, my friend, is why you have a very large butt. lol

                          Awesome! Since you are planning on recording, make sure you raise your head high after the first bite and belt out a primal scream so big it will please the gods of meat consumption. If you have particularly sharp canine teeth, a small closeup with a little blood dripping would make for better viewing as well.
