Okay, you need to re-read what I wrote. Did I tell you to eat loads of sugar? No I didn't. As a matter of fact, I try not to eat refined sugar at all.
What do you mean not everyone is a runner? Who is born a runner? No one, Americans need to get out there and stop making excuses. WHY aren't you a runner? Bad knees, fine, most likely b/c you never run, go walk then. It is just nuts that 70% of our country is considered fat. What a bunch of crap. We most definately are NOT the most powerful country in the world when our people can't find the energy to get out of their chairs and exercise.
Fruits, Vegetables and whole grains are not a part of Atkins. So, if you want to go edit your post, feel free. Atkins restricts those foods. Atkins diet was made for heart patients that had to lose weight very rapidly for surgery. In this scenario, the risk of death from obesity out-weighs the risk of screwing up your metabolic rate. I wish all of you on Atkins the best of luck. Sure, you will lose weight now, I just hope you keep it off. WW on the other hand is a great way to lose weight. Go that route. It teaches you to eat in a sensible manner. I am not mad at Atkins people, I just cannot believe what you people are saying.
By the way, Atkins has been around for 40 years huh? Well, sure has worked on us Americans, hasn't it.
