Just as a quick follow on from comments made on another thread, I'm sick to death of having to justify my choice of diet, all because people dont fully understand it.
One of my collegues who is a nurse spotted one of the bars on my desk, so I explained that I was doing the Atkins. Cue a horrified expression.
So I gave her a run down of an example days food as follows:
8am 2 eggs with mayo
10am Perhaps an Atkins bar.
1pm Chicken salad
3pm half a small tin of tuna with small amount of diced red pepper
6-7pm Salmon/Chicken/Pork with brocolli and mushroom.
I asked her if she could tell me how that could be deemed unhealthy.
Well no she replies, but thats not "proper" Atkins is it!!!!!!
To me it goes back to people giving Atkins a go, not getting in their 20g of Carbs and making themselves feel like dog poo. Then telling everyone how bad the diet is.
It really does make me angry!
