I think that this kind of stuff goes against what we have all achieved. We have all manged to lose thousands of pounds between us, many of us have achieved this without atkins bars and other processed foodstuffs.
I heard in the news a while back that the sale of sweets had dropped significatly, their profits were down. It made me think of how much I would have spent of sweets and crisps in the months that I had been following Dr Atkins' plan. It was roughly £50 in 4 months. No idea how many people in the UK are doing Atkins or any low carb diet, even a guess at half a million, thats £25million in just four months that people who ate as much as me have not spent on junk treats.
These companies have seen whats happened and they are producing the same junk food they have always produced, with probably more rubbish in them, hoping to win us back into keeping their profits up.
We have come so far without them, we don't need that juunk food anymore. We are being manipulated yet again by these massive companies. For instance did you know that Nestle produce baby milk powder for African countries (probably all third world countries) while the mothers are in hospital its okay, the babies would benefit from breast milk, but that doesn't bother nestle. When the mothers are discharged they might not be able to afford the baby milk powderor they might not have clean water to make the milk up with. added to that, nestle won't put instructions on the tin in the local languages as it would cost them too much. But that doesn't affect us, does it? We are safe here.
So as you might gather, I won't be buying this stuff. Those who do buy it, just be careful they ain't taking you for a ride back to fatsville, we are all worth far more than that.
