Thanks :) :) :).. see now even you must be feelin better because of ATKINS, got all of that off of your chest.. Great post, and something everyone that embarks on this or any diet should research before diving in..

That said read the posts and tell me that this diet hasn't captured the attention of soo many grateful folks that haven't been harmed or died as is the rant for the past.. you did good, I want everyone to check this out as do you.. {{HUG}}

Generally, I wouldn't bother doing research for anybody but myself. I just don't appreciate having sound advice labeled as a "cliche". As for the success stories...well, see how they're doing in a two to three years. They'll either gain the weight back or, if they stay on the diet, they'll have health problems they didn't have before. There's no substitute for exercise and sensible eating. And that's coming from me, not from the FDA food pyramid.
