I've noticed that so many people think Atkins is so unhealthy now. Which I guess is good for us, because now that the fad is over, meat prices have gone back down.
My parents especially get that worried look if I tell them I'm on Atkins. But then if I tell them what exactly I'm eating, they admit it sounds healthy.
I kind of wonder if perhaps the introduction of all the frankenfoods, and the marketing of Atkins nutritionals etc... has made the Atkins diet unhealthy? Like, it's fooled people into thinking that the Atkins diet consists of eating bars and shakes, kind of like Slim Fast or something?
Somedays, when I don't feel like explaining, I just tell people that my diet consists of fresh healthy meats and vegetables.. with a touch of fruit every few days.
