Low carb diets

Point about Atkins I find is...

...if you miss out one of the major food groups, of COURSE you're gonna lose weight. Makes sense, really. o_O

Life is much, much, much, much different as you approach 30, that's for sure. :)

I know how you feel...I used to be able to eat a whole can of Pringles or a whole bag of crunchy Cheese Doodles in one sitting with no ill effects, Taco Bell every single day, etc...I'm in my late 20's now, and while my metabolism hasn't slowed down much, I can't really get away with eating like that unless I get some exercise in.

Huh? You have a high school education, no? Can't work the metrics? Even with a calculator? Wow Mzo, I sincerely hope you're joking with that one.

DUDE! Of COURSE it was a joke. Come on. The metric system is insanely better than the weird ass units we use in the states. It's just funny to be stereotypically american and put down the metric system every chance I get.

I ate one of those atkins wraps in Subway once. I saw the word bacon and I immediately thought it would be something good. Little did I know that the first emotion that I would have felt after eating it was rage. The thing was about the size of my pinky toe and was as satisfying as air flavored tofu. The bacon did not help.

And to top it off, my friend told me that once you start the Atkins diet, you cant go off it. So that means Im on the Atkins till I die. Thanks alot Subway.

Hey man, you never know at a place like this. Sorryass modes of thought/behavior abound. You being one of TNL's shining lights of true wit, should have been all the information I needed, but it's early and I'm still confused about having to wake up and accomplish stuff. Happens every morning :)
