When I was doing some banking today, I found out that the teller is on a
low-carb WOE. Then she told me that the bank Manager as well as the Loan
Officer are both on low carbohydrate diets! I talked to them and swapped lc
stories for quite a while; they were telling me about a lot of other
business people in this small town who are doing lc also ... an insurance
broker; a maintenance worker, etc.

It's surreal to me because when I started Atkins three years ago it was
anathema. When someone was on a low-carb diet, it was right up there on the
"top-ten-list-of-things-you-want-to-keep-secret" just ahead of cocaine
addiction, child molestation, wife beating, embezzlement and cross-dressing.

But with all the positive publicity in the past few months, Atkins has
seemingly been "outed" and is becoming mainstream. What's next -- a TV show
entitled "Low-Carb Eye For The Fat Guy?" ;-)

LOL! Only us oldbies could appreciate your humor LOL!!!! I love it!!!
ROFL
Larry threw a big BBQ for all the people who worled for him thhis past
summer. I made Potatoe Salad. Larry BBQ'ed the hmburgers and hotdogs
and we had chips and cookies there. Out of like 15 of us 9 were LC'ing
and all the carby stuff like buns, chips and salad went home with
Connie the girl who assists Larry!!!!! No ne wants people to know they
are on a diet but once one person in the crowd confesses the rest out
of the woodwork. Its like a religion LOL So what diet do you
practice????
We lw carbers knew as soon as Atkins died that he would be outed and
people would admit he might have had a valid point here with the high
protein diet. I giggle at the LC for the Fat Guy!! And PS I love Queer
eye for the Straightguy and watched the marathon last night.
Cheers!
