dear Atkins diet:

reminder: there is only opinions about atkins, because, as said before, it hasn't been around long enough and/or studied extensively enough. my scientific opinion is: it's bad. but that's just me. i'm not going to lie and say it's awesome here b/c i don't want to give a false safety to it. that said, who cares? i won't argue about it b/c opinions are only that.

azal: that sucks. i used to get really really sick. then they gave me medication that gave me fucking cancer. then i said: FUCK OFF. and now i am not sick anymore. your aunt probably has a severe case of raynaud's phenomena. that stinks. and it hurts.
 
Well, my anti-Atkins words should be taken into consideration that I'm not saying being on Atkins is necessarily less healthy than the fact that I smoke cigarettes or eat bacon cheeseburgers or whatever. Whether or not something's "healthy" isn't the only factor in deciding if you should do it. :)

In Atkins' case, losing the weight and suffering the health problems associated with Atkins is a perfectly reasonable risk to decide to take, on the same level that the deliciousness of bacon cheeseburgers make them a reasonable health risk I sometimes decide to take. My only issue is with claims that Atkins is not unhealthy.
