Atkins what a joke, I work with a guy who is very overweight (20+st) and has just started Atkins.

I took him aside and asked him what he ate in a day, it was utter sh1te and worked out to about 500g+ of carbs everything that is bad (lots of white bread, chinese take-aways, rice, chips etc)

Now he is eating pure saturated fat, fried foods (bacon, eggs, burgers, beef) he is a walking heart attack, I feel sorry for him because he is a naturally big boy and he obviously likes his food but his eating habits have clearly been fcuking awful from a young age.

Now he is down to about 20g of carbs a day and is crashing bigtime, I told him not to avoid carbs but to get better quality ones from vegetables/fruit and cut down on starchy foods.

Yet he sits next to this woman who thinks she knows everything about nutrition and she keeps talking up the Atkins diet like it's some kind of miracle.

The way he is going he will probably be dead in 10-15 years time and Atkins is doing him no favours.
