and eating nuts

PRICELESS!!!

And another thing, I don't think most followers of Atkins eat the way
that was noted in the article. Perhaps that's on induction but when
people get to OWL, there's lots stuff.

LOL!

What you eat typically:

small tossed salad, seltzer water Dinner - shrimp cocktail
with mustard and mayo, clear consommé, steak, roast, chops,
fish or fowl, tossed salad sans dressing, diet Jell-O.


Wonder where they come up with this as a typical menu? Sounds
closer to an induction menu to me. Menu was probably determined
by some loser journalist that read the part about induction and failed
to read or understand the rest of the book, (if they read the book at
all) the Atkins diet in terms of ongoing weight loss or maintenance.

Horse hockey! Seltzer water? Shrimp cocktail? Steak? I
don't personally have any of those on a regular basis.
These are reserved as "treats" for me. I have ground beef,
more than a "small" tossed salad and other veggies, tuna,
pork chops or roast when they are on sale, chicken. All of
these are frequently on sale at any one of several local
markets and I spend much less than that.

Damn. All that consommé and shrimp cocktail's really screwing with my
budget.

I can understand why it could be considered costly. All the things
that people eat BECAUSE they are cheap fillers (pasta, potato, rice,
bread) in meals are removed. You are left eating more meats, fowl or
fish(definitely more expensive here). All your meal stretchers are
removed. And vegetables aren't always cheap either!

Yeah!

With four lobster dinners a week and the 2 daily snacks of shrimp it
gets *really* expensive. G

The reporter must be figuring in expensive cuts of steak and the more
expensive fresh seafood.
