When I was doing some banking today, I found out that the teller is on a

business people in this small town who are doing lc also ... an insurance
broker; a maintenance worker, etc.

It's surreal to me because when I started Atkins three years ago it was
anathema. When someone was on a low-carb diet, it was right up there on the
"top-ten-list-of-things-you-want-to-keep-secret" just ahead of cocaine
addiction, child molestation, wife beating, embezzlement and cross-dressing.

But with all the positive publicity in the past few months, Atkins has
seemingly been "outed" and is becoming mainstream. What's next -- a TV show
entitled "Low-Carb Eye For The Fat Guy?" ;-)

I love that show- and what a good idea, except that instead of a one night
makeover, they'd almost ahve to follow the victim about for several months
to see the improvement.
