"Because it was eliminating foods your body needs and causing chemical changes in your body."
Which foods are those? Sugar? High Fructose Corn Syrup maybe? How about Wonderbread?
If you think Atkins was about eliminating all fruits & veggies you are mistaken.
The problem is, many people mistake the failure of business side of Atkin's crappy low carb products with the diet itself. It's the business that failed. The diet works if done correctly.
See my post #48.
