| I just saw this commercial from Atkins, and got such a kick out of it. The guy explains how doing Atkins helped him meet his girlfriend when he nearly conked her in the head with a head of swiss chard. "I wouldn't even have been eating something like swiss chard if I weren't on Atkins" he explained. Then he holds up a card that tells one of the things "Atkins is good for" and it says "Picking up chicks." It is a funny way to remind people that veggies are an important part of this program. I'm sure it was intentional that he didn't hit her in the head with a side of bacon.

| I saw that commercial a couple times already. I like the fact that it kills any controvesy about low carbers only eating meat. We eat things like swiss chard too. Cute. Teri |

| Yep, Gilley...saute like spinach with a little olive oil and garlic. It's really good and healthy, too!! I haven't seen that one yet, Maggie, but I hope I catch it. It sounds funny.

| I like their commericals also.. neat way to make a point.. especially about veggies..don't see how we can be accused of not eating them... I've ate more veggies on atkins then I ever did before.
