GlennM's Journal, 05 March 2010

Today I have been trying to back up Atkins and how good it is for us who are using this approach for losing weight. A group of people have over the past few months repeatedly come onto our site and have bashed Atkins continuously. I am done discussing Atkins with them. Perhaps if they're ignored they'll go away and find another forum to vent their rage against our form of losing weight. Also, we do not pig out until we're overly full by the way, despite misconceptions. Our site used to be a happy place, one of understanding, kindness, acceptance and now all I read in numerous postings how dreadful Atkins is and it is sad our Atkins FS forum has disintigrated into this because some people want to wreck it for us and won't leave us alone or offer constructive advice but instead attack and criticize. I don't go on other forums on FS and tell other people their approach to weight loss is wrong. It is quite sad. It is too bad these people are messing up a once kind, happy place to come to that has now devolved into nasty comments about Atkins and how horrible it is if someone has a question about possibly switching off of Atkins. How I wish the site was like it was when I came on, a kind place where one didn't have to justify what diet they were on and instead now being told by others on different diets that the Atkins approach to weight loss is completely wrong...

It is true. But a whole group of nasty and rude troublemakers have tried to "destroy" the friendship of the Atkins FS site and write horrid things about Atkins and one said today something like "I'll write where I want and I don't give a damned." Well she and her ilk are turning Atkins FS from a supportive group of friends into a group of rude unwelcome badmouthing people posting continuously to be just obnoxious. If I see this woman I will ignore her and her ilk of nasty cohorts who post on Atkins to tell everyone we're fools for following what more and more medical professionals are considering a very healthy diet/lifestyle. A physician assistant I saw last year said Atkins done properly is very healthy...

I totally agree with Suzi - it's unfortunate but similar to any group situation. It is ashame that people can't live by the old saying "if you don't have anything nice to say..." I am a true believer that all bodies lose weight in different ways, we all need to find the right method for our body. That doesn't mean you discourage others, but support them. Hang in there and ignore the naysayers.
