My climbing partner revealed that she's on the Atkins diet. Quoi? You mean the fad diet that shortened its founder's life? I tried hard to stifle a laugh. Now, I'm no Taoist but it seems that any diet, or exercise regime for that matter, that encourages unbalanced input to gain a magic bullet output immediately cocks my head sideways.
She's smart, works out often, and very in-tune with her body, so I really don't understand where she's going with this. She talks about maintaining weight a lot, and probing further, she admitted that one of the benefits of Atkins is that you lose weight quickly in the first week. I don't like the sound of that.
I've mentioned Crossfit to her, and she occasionally asks for advice on lifting, but nothing more. I don't push her about it either. There's nothing worse than an evangelizer.
Update:
She quit less than a week later. "That diet sucked," was all she offered.
