Most friends and family tell me I am going to die on this diet , it is so dangerous, but I see happy people here no complaints except that it is hard. Thanks for the laugh!

Michelle, my husband has the same fanatic idea about low carb, that it's going to kill me, but I don't see how it's any different to put a piece of cheese in my mouth as opposed to a bag of chips...he's ok when I'm gorging on ice cream and cookies but when I start eating a little more meat and veggies and stay away from the junk food, he starts in on me...It's worked for me before and it's going to work for me again, and I'm going to stick to low carb for the rest of my life because it's what I have to do for me. Hang in there and don't let people who don't know what they are talking about get to you...if you read the Atkins book it really isn't a bad way of life, what's bad about eating meat and vegetables?? You can do it, just stick with it!
