Well your skin is a touch pale. That could be due to your body shutting down from insufficient carbohydrate consumption.

Oh and how's this for an eye rolling emoticon:

You are super bold for that one.

I'm not for any of these diets or whatever but if you look at her other pics you will see she isn't pale. lol

Are you referring to every carb as a starch? Fruits and veggies have COMPLEX carbs. Mr Atkins is an overweight man, I wouldn't take advice from him.

Um, Dr. Atkins is dead. I wouldn't take advice from him, either.

Just live off salt tablets and water for a month.

Ghandi did it, so can you.

Don't be a wimp.

Or, make it simple by just drinking ocean water...

Without providing references or studies, the above statement is no more than an opinion. Shrug*

I tend to agree they are fabs and not ideal.
But I'd like to see some backup they are bad for your health.
Can it be worse than the "McDonalds Diet" which shown to actually be good for your health?

Um, Dr. Atkins is dead. I wouldn't take advice from him, either.

So are hundreds of well renowned nutritionists.

OP - I'm following the calories in calories out thing which is working for me. :drinker:

Have you seen Sharon Osbourne's commercials for Atkins. They are advertising how they have sweet things to eat so come to Atkins. Nothing about their commercial said healthy eating. Marketing fail!


**Note - I do not want hate email. This was just my opinion of the commercial. I do not hate Sharon Osbourne. I have not finished my morning coffee so hateful remarks may spark hateful replies.

Ask and you shall receive. You're welcome :bigsmile:
