IMO, it was a scare tactic and these people were probably sick pre-Atkins and didn't know it.

I also tend not to trust the media as far as I can throw them. And there are days I wish I could throw them.

I'm on my third day veggie free and feel excellent with the exception of my wisdom tooth - which is not a no-veggie problem and started way before I even started Atkins, let alone no-veggies. My fear of the dentist is responsible for this problem... not my diet

I haven't had to nap a few times during the day like I used to. Zero cravings, even tho I ate doughnuts the day before I started this which would ordinarily give me cravings for days. Oh, and I'm down an inch on my waist and 1.5 on my hips.

Works for me
