One of the comments I get from time is why or how dare I may comments regarding weight loss.  "Am I a doctor?"  The associated statement is if I were, I would never dare support the Atkins Diet.  One of the things this ignores is that many of the creators of low carb diets (Atkins Diet in particular) are actually DOCTORS!
