Everyone wants a quick fix - "I can eat a pound of bacon for breakfast, as long as I don't eat a slice of bread? Cool!" The Atkins diet is for sluggards who are more concerned about their appearance than their health.

Pardek, Being slim instead of fat *IS* a health issue. [and yes, I do look damn good!Nothing wrong with that!] Obesity is very unhealthy. Not only that, but healthy cholesterol levels reduce your risk of heart disease. That is exactly what this diet achieves. On the other hand, junk food diets [sugar and bread] are directly linked to obesity, cancer and heart disease. I am willing to bet you have had more junk food in the past 24 hours that I have had in the past 3.5 years.

Yes, but eating a pound of bacon every morning is linked to those diseases, too. Why is everyone here assuming I'm for a high-carb diet? This is hilarious!
