Default article in the sun today.....

Was just flicking through the Sun Newspaper and ive come across a small article that states:-

" Are you an Atkins Fan? Are you one of the two million Britons on the controversial Atkins Diet? It has become one of the most popular weight loss methods ever. Celebs like Brad Pitt, Victoria Beckham and Jennifer Aniston swear by the diet - which allows you to eat bacon and sausage but bans brea, pasta and beer.

If it has changed your life, sun woman wants to hear from you. Call us on 020 7782 4328 or email sunwoman~the-sun.co.uk."

Perhaps we should rise to the challenge and tell them the truth about the diet !!! I know ive only been on it for two weeks, but I cant believe how much better I feel already, and I dont care what they say I have actually been eating healthier than before I started this new WOL !!

Anyway, just a thought !!!

Lisa

Thanks Lisa

I've looked at the article on the web and have just sent an email. Wonder if I'll get a phone call. I've plugged this forum, in a round about way, by giving them the link to my journal.

don't forget to tell them how difficult it's been due to Boots refusing to sell us those little deadly sticks. But how wonderful Superdrug are for allowing us to take a 'risk' at poking ourselves somewhere delicate!!
