I know what you mean about Atkins ranters! it's not about what foods we choose to put in our body to best assist in the weight loss journey, is it? bottom line is that there has to be less calories consumed, and more calories burned, period. You have to do what's best for YOU. I've tried South Beach, it's not perfect either. What diet is?! If there was a supreme way to go about weight loss, every scientist in the world would finally come to an agreement! So be healthy, eat well and get in that exercise! BACKATCHA!! :)  

Hey Glenn. I'm sorry you may have experienced some negativity on this site regarding Atkins. It's really a shame, when in fact we are all equal. We all have the same goals and dreams yet some believe it needs to be their way or the highway. Too bad it discouraged you. I do wish you well and hope for oodles of success in whatever you decide to do. One good thing - their dark chocolate soy beans are a mouthwatering snack/desert. Again, best of luck! 

Thanks BA, I will always catch your posts through mbhpro, I think I need the grains, beans and rice to lower my grocery bill a bit. I know to eat them in very low quantities and now that spring is almost here I'll try to get out and do that exercising as much as my body can take. I realized Atkins is high cost for me - I was using my credit cards to buy groceries most of the past year and a half to maintain the Atkins lifestyle, so cheaper foods in the mix will do me good and also sensible things like cutting back my cable in May once the contract is over, etc. and I should do well to move to a nicer place and afford it too hopefully...
