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.

I feel constrained to point out that cross-dressing is nowhere near as
serious and negative as the other things in your list.

Never said it was ... this was a tongue-in-cheek list of thing that people
keep secret, not necesarily a list of "serious" and "negative" things."
That was my whole point -- although Atkins isn't a bad or negative thing,
it's been hidden and frowned on; until recently people have been embarrased
to admit that they were on Atkins.

Hmmmm, kinda takes the fun out of the joke when you have to explain it ...
