Atkins diet

[Bushbaby]

Sorry Joan if this seemed like a personal attack. Some of the sentences in your post were harsh to me because they were almost word for word what people have been telling me my whole life. There has always been an assumption that I was fat because I overeat. That has never been true.

I also took issue with the fact that the Atkins diet was again being criticised, when it was the one diet that actually worked well for me. I wonder how many overweight people for whom this diet might have worked were turned off trying this diet because of negative word of mouth?

In retrospect my posts are harsh, and I apologise for that. We have our separate points of view, and I respect that.
