...the uptight Nutrition Nazi regime known in its current incarnation as "The Atkins Diet"?

Huh?
Eat bacon & eggs for breakfast, or big fluffy omelettes made with lots of butter, mushrooms, sausage, cheese, and topped with salsa. For dinner? Big, juicy rib-eye steak, big salad with blue-cheese dressing, glass of merlot.
Lost 50 pounds in 8 months.
"Nutrition Nazi?" Hardly.

But I want STARCH! You want HEART ATTACK ON A PLATE, which is fine, I guess. Where is the balance?

Me too, only it's 45 lbs. But I am getting tired of bacon an eggs for breakfast. So I've slipped back into the bad habit of skipping breakfast and I think that's part of the reason I've hit a plateau. I like the results when following the diet religiously, and some days it's easier to comply than others. I'm just having a really hard time right now stringing together more than a couple of days when I'm able to follow all the restrictions. I've gotta get more than a couple of days of ketosis to lose more weight.

I'm happy others don't feel as challenged by this as I do. I find however, more and more days when the plan feels if not Nazi-like, then at least very restrictive. I don't miss sweets, nor pasta, nor surprisingly, potatoes nearly as much as I thought I would. But, I DO increasingly miss non-soy tasting bread.
