    Touche for that one!!
    If you eat a bowl of ramen noodles for a meal, with a sugary soda to drink, you get about 650 calories, a heap of carbs, Zero real nutrition, and you will still be craving more because you've deprived your body of healthy food. (So you'd probably go eat some more)
    OR....
    you could have had fruit, veggies, meat, cheese and some dressing for the same meal, been fully charged nutrient-wise, and be fully satisfied (with equal or fewer calories)... the Atkins way. The most intelligent choice is pretty obvious....

      I just completed my first solid 6 months on Atkins - now passing the longest anyone ever said I could eat this way without it being dangerous to my health.

      Well I think the people who say this are all wrong - so long as the diet is followed properly!

      So I'm staying on Atkins for yet another reason: to prove them wrong!!

      I feel great!!

              So when someone says Atkins won't work and is bad for you, you can show them proof otherwise!

                Not having to keep buying larger clothing is a teriffic reason to stay on Atkins, even after reaching goal.

                    Best Reson for me: To save my life. Even though I'm not losing as quick as I want...my blood work is at its healthiest level in years. (Blood sugar - low, Cholestral - low, Tri's at level.) Its a shame all my Dr. can tell me though is that I'm morbidly obeese and I need to drop the weight. He's a jerk, but hey, its Kaiser.

                                If you stay on Atkins, You'll still have friends at ADBB to talk to.

                                BUT if you DON'T stay on Atkins, you can count on !!!
