More Atkins reportage

Cancel that chocolate alert

It turns out that the protein bars already have bilingual labels and are not getting stopped at the border. The Atkins Peanut Butter and Choclate Hoarder I mentioned in the previous post had just bought out my store’s supply, but Karen the manager told me that more was on the way. The Hoarder and his wife, it turns out, have a fondness for Resse’s Preanut Butter Cups, and the Atkins bars are a very-close-in-taste, lower-carb, no sugar, no-trans-fats substitute. I guess I should pull the pins out of the voodoo doll.

Contradictory reports

FARK listed these two Atkins-related stories, one after the other for humourous effect:

• New study reveals Atkins diet is better than lowfat diet
• New study reveals Atkins diet is not better than lowfat diet

Sometimes you never know what to believe.

As far as I’m concerned, it works — at least it did for me. Keep in mind that your mileage may vary and this is a small sample size, but other blog writers out there have lost at least 25 pounds in their first three months on the Atkins meal plan/diet/lifestyle eating methodology: Cory Doctorow, Doc Searls and Oliver Willis are a few whom I can name off the top of my head.
