It goes something like this, no offense to the casual dieter, or this is much too strong for someone only wanting to lose 10 lbs. Started with one product, now going to many more. They are actually getting the best of both worlds, someone wanting to lose only 10 lbs. will not be able to resist, thinking in a couple days this will work, and catering to those who have much more to lose, thinking this stuff must be really powerful and work! Shows the power of advertising, manufacturers are getting very smart, you need to be smarter! -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything....

The were suposeed to make you sweat the pounds away. lol -------------- I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it is gone past me I will turn to see fear's path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain

They are probably selling it as fast as they can ship it out the door. Also, what is your take on the huge participation of this Atkins thing. It is incredible. Has a diet approach ever had this much popularity? I am amazed. If I were in younger, I would seriously consider cardiology as a career.

This time the media got hold and again, shows the power they have! look at the low carb thing, every time I am in a store now, or a food place of any kind, I overhear people talking about this is low carb, that is low carb, and really don't have a clue what they are doing. Just following the herd looking for a quick fix. Losing weight is one thing, your health (long term) is yet another. I hope folks aren't going for aesthetics only right now and overlooking the bigger picture, long term health. This should be everyones goal first and foremost. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything....

lordxena Posts: 58 Joined: 2003/01/26	2004/01/27, 04:02 PM Well I for one am really glad all that "load of crap" is around since I now actually have more places where I can eat and better food choices. While I too wonder where all this hype suddenly came from, I'm gonna enjoy it while it lasts. I've been doing low carb now for many years and I've been loving the additions that doesn't make the diet harder than what it has to be.

Up until now most food establishemnts especially resturants suffered from fad diets. But now most items you find in resturants are acceptable. Big fat juicy steak....things dripping with butter.... As bad as it is, there are more people than you think pushing for this diet. Unfortunatly it is about the almighty dollar. Just my opinion of course.
