Tell them you eat meat, eggs, fish, lots of vegetables, a few nuts & seeds. What's to argue against in that?

On plans and plan attacks and plan defending:

Most people who have poor opinions of Atkins have never read the book and never known anyone (including themselves) who actually followed the book. Right or wrong, they are attacking a straw-man of the plan not the real plan. I wouldn't engage with them if that is what they are doing.

If they want to argue about TNT - tell them after they have read the book and can accurately explain each of the TNT plans to you in their own words you'll engage them in discussion. Until then - no discussion, no defending, no arguing.
