Ev, please reread my message, I noted that Dr. Atkins encuraged exercise. I did not in any way criticize Dr. Atkins, his diet or book. I did criticize the american public, thinking that the Atkins diet is an easy way to lose weight with out much of a life style change. So, the cure zone has one exercise forum, I'm just saying everyone could bennifet from more encuragement to exercise. GEEEEEWIZZ! Why are you so defensive?
