Remember Dr ATKINS!!!!!!!!!!!
Irregardless Dr Atkins has helped many people. Why should he not of
benefited from what he did? I for one don't like to spend a life time doing work and not get paid for it. I dont see any other high profile person who works with helping people lose weight to turn down any monetary benefits. Even the YMCA takes your money. Ann "Mu_nlight Drive" wrote in message ...

I guess Mr. Moo thought Dr. Atkins was supposed to spread his ideas by word of mouth and not write anything down. You guessed wrong. |

Nah, you lost 71 lbs because you had the good sense to decide to do it and the sticktoitiveness to get the job done. You should feel proud of what you've done and make sure you don't devalue it by backsliding. Dr. Atkins? He made respectable, and backed up by convincing argument, the sort of diet that was touted as the way to lose weight when I was young, many decades ago, IOW he enabled many of us to shake of the mesmerizing effect of the endless drumbeat praising carbs and damning protein. But the strength of mind to get in shape comes from within. |

Irregardless Irregardless is not a word. Regardless *is* a word. It means "without regard to." That is the word you want. Sorry -- it's a very common mistake, and it's just a pet peeve of mine.

Technically you lost the 71 pounds thanks to yourself, with his diet
principles as a guide. You thank him every time you tell someone how you lost the weight, which is a great accomplishment BTW. Congratulations. -- Cheri Vile wrote in message ...

That's why we live in a capitalistic society. I'm just glad Dr.
Atkins lived long enough to be vindicated for his work. I'm sad we didn't get to see how he aged -- I mean he was in great shape for a 71 yo, but from 70-80 is when you really see the effects of a lifetime of habits, good or bad, it seems. That would have silenced the naysayers! You can't argue with that! I find it amusing that people will follow The South Beach Diet because it was developed by a cardiologist -- I love telling them that Dr. Atkins was a cardiologist as well. (So there!)

What motivates someone who is obviously not interested in a low carb lifestyle to post on a newsgroup dedicated to it? Are you just bored? Why not get a hobby, or if you really enjoy usenet so much, post on a newsgroup that talks about something you ARE interested in? I just don't get it. I'm not trying to be a dick or anything, I'm just curious about your though process... |
