Aw thanks! I could have written much better insults, but I didn't want to have angry SBers stalking me to shove pineapples up my orifices.

Nice one! I tried to vote but a cookie must have been saved on my PC (hope it was low carb,,,, humph) and it won't let me.

SB was a total nightmare for me.... I tried it and ended up heavier than ever. Never again!!

Excellent reply Cleo, and soooo true, I know many people who went onto SB because they didn't have the will power to see Atkins through and SB sounded easier, such a cop out (oh and by the way, none of them are following either anymore) Hmmmm

Thanks for the kudos you guys! I really disagreed with the method of tearing down Atkins only to so closely resemble Atkins.

From what you've written, it's really hard to believe that we read the same book.

First of all, Doctor Agatson is a respected cardiologist and not just Mr. South Beach as you call him. In the beginning of the book he goes through a history of other diets. He does not take any credit away from them.

On page 22, he says that he knew and admired Dr. Atkins. He writes that Dr. Atkins, "successfully fought conventional wisdom via improved diet and lifestyle." He goes on to write that Dr. Atkins and Dr. Pritkin were criticized for their commercial successes and have persevered. He gives Dr. Atkins and Dr. Pritkin credit for popularizing the science of nutrition.

No where in the book did I get the feeling that Dr. Agatson was disrespectfull to Dr. Atkins or to Atkins dieters.
