Many of our faculty members went on the Atkins Diet this year and boy, do we all look better! However, it's more expensive because we can't just tote in a sandwich--we have to make a chef's salad or buy lots of meat. Or for breakfast, we can't just grab a bowl of cereal-- we have to, say, cook eggs and bacon.
The low carb snacks and baking mixes are much more expensive than what we'd normally buy.
But....Atkins works!
