    Right?! It seems to be what works for me! I think people have a problem with the Atkins way, and totally eliminating all carbs.

    Everybody argues with you. doctors argue, friends argue, the AMA argues, the Department of Agriculture, etc etc. when I tried it, and my wife tried it, it worked, and everybody still argues with us that it won't work, it's unsustainable, it will raise our cholesterol, we'll get cancer, it's immoral to eat meat etc etc.

    I don't bother arguing or defending my eating style anymore.
    I just smile, nod, and watch them continue to complain about weight gain, bloating, etc.

    It seems like when I tell people I eat low carb, people think low carb = no carbs. So not the case. My mom was upset with me when I told her I was eating low carb. "Why can't you do Weight Watchers?!" "Mom, the WW newer method is low carb eating. I'm just accounting for every carb I eat rather than following a made-up point system. I'm more aware of the quality of food I'm eating." My doctor was the one who told me to eat low carb. She's super smart.

    It would be even more sustainable if my local grocery store actually provided fresh produce. Most of it is already past due. And, if local restaurants provided better low carb meal options. Sure I could order a hunk of meat and veggies, but frankly I'd rather eat that at home so my meat isn't dry and over cooked. Give me something creative at a restaurant.
