overheard at breakfast....

Conversation at the next table:

Woman: "So she eats no carbohydrates or only carbohydrates?"
Man: "No carbohydrates."
Woman: "Oh, it's the Atkins diet."
Man: "Yes."
Woman: "Oh, yeah, I know 3 people who've lost a lot of weight on that
diet. I don't think it's healthy for you though." All while digging
into a huge plate of Eggs Benedict: eggs, ham, and cream sauce on an
english muffin. I guess the the english muffin was the only thing
standing between her and poor nutitrion....

LOL!

I was staying at a hotel a few weeks ago, and it finally dawned on me
that if I just didn't eat the English muffin then eggs benedict would be
a lovely low-carb breakfast. Put cream in my tea, too. YUM!

Haha! - that's funny. Good thing I didn't just take a sip of my tea.

There are these two women who go to Curves at roughly the same time I
do and they yack at each other non-stop throughout their workout. The
other day they were discussing a woman they knew who was on Atkins.

"Well, you can lose a few pounds on that diet, but you can't stay on
it for very long or else it's dangerous," one of them said.

"I think it's only good for losing five or ten pounds anyway, and then
it stops working," said the other.

I just kept working out and didn't bother to tell them that I'd lost
over 40 pounds on the diet and was the healthiest I've been in years.
There really didn't seem to be a point.

Hehe. I've been eating them at Sunday brunch--without the muffin,
of course. Quite acceptable.
