  • Adbb?

    Just curious,

    I know that the word diet refers to everything that makes up what a person takes in or ingests; the diets of some are good for them, bad for others and down right ugly for the rest! However, in today's society diet has come to be a bad word, referring to a fad or short-lived change to your way of eating to loose weight.

    Just out of curiousity, why was this forum named the "Atkins Diet Bulletin Board"? Why not the "Atkins Bulletin Board", or the "Atkins Plan Bulletin Board", or maybe the "Atkins Approach Bulletin Board" or even the "Atkins WOE Bulletin Board"?

    Again, just curious!

    Dr. Atkins always tried to avoid the word "diet" by inserting approach or plan, instead of voluntarily allowing his work to be placed in the growing category of "diets"!

    Kind of makes you go "HMMMM!"

    Congratulations on achieving normal blood sugar without insulin!

    Personally, I think the board is named appropriately, because that is how Dr. Atkins referred to it, a New Diet Revolution.

      Thanks for the kudos!

      I wasn't saying it wasn't named appropriately, I simply pointed out that I find the name to be an odd sort of conundrum.

          That makes sense to me. Since the board was formed in 2003, right after DANDR came out, and at the height of the latest peak of interest in low carb, the name would get a lot of hits from people searching for "Atkins diet".

            Maybe the other options for a domain name were already taken by other organisations/companies?
            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!
