What? There are people still in this world that still subscribe to this fad? I was sure everyone had moved on to the next faulty slim-down craze of Palm-Beach-Juice or whatever it is. Anyways, I've got a way to lose weight that doesn't involve eating chemically generated snacks that taste like soot and poo.

Step 1: Eat less.
Step 2: Exercise.

Contrary to what you were told as a child through the wonders of television marketing, it is not essential to eat a bowl of sugary cereal, two glasses of juice, a glass of milk, four slices of toast, a grapefruit half, a plate of sausage, and a banana "as part of this nutricious breakfast". We live in a world were most of us go to "work" and sit for eight hours, not raise barns and drive cattle to the pasture before eleven in the morning. Its not a bad thing to put as much energy into your mouth as you plan to expend during the day.

And yeah, if it sounds like I harbor a bit of animosity towards Atkins, its because I know a woman that insisted on dieting in this method before and during part of her pregnancy. The result is a child that is going to have a very difficult time growing up. The human body was not intended to survive on what is prescribed by that diet, child-in-progress or not.
