Beef-Scarfing Couple Booted From Buffet

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Saturday April 24, 2004

SALT LAKE CITY, UT—A couple on a low-carb diet were kicked out of a buffet restaurant after the manager said they'd eaten too much roast beef.

Sui Amaama, who along with his wife has been on the Atkins Diet for two weeks, was asked to leave after he went up to the buffet at the Chuck-A-Rama in suburban Taylorsville for his 12th slice of roast beef.

"It's so embarrassing actually," said Isabelle Leota, Amaama's wife.

"We went in to have dinner, we were under the impression Chuck-A-Rama was an all-you-can-eat establishment.''

Not so, said Jack Johanson, the restaurant chain's district manager.

"We've never claimed to be an all-you-can-eat establishment," said Johanson.

"Our understanding is a buffet is just a style of eating," he explained.

The general manager, who was carving the meat Tuesday, became concerned about having enough beef for other patrons and asked Amaama to stop, Johanson said.

The offended couple asked for a refund.

The manager refused and called police when they would not leave.

The couple said they had eaten at Chuck-A-Rama's $8.99 buffet at least twice a week, but did not plan to return.

how big are these slices we're talking about exactly?

i wonder if we'll be seeing "All-You-Can-Eat-Atkin's" restaurants and buffets, or if all the followers will die off first

12 slices of roast beef and diet don't go together.

I don't know what it is about these idiots and their fear of carbohydrates.

You don't get fat from eating rice, bread, pasta, and noodles!!!! You get fat from eating too much beef!!!

Carbs add a lot of fat, too.

Not enough to make a person fat.

All I eat is rice, pasta and noodles, and I'm skinny.

I eat very little beef.

Like anything else, carbs have to be used in moderation.

Simple carbohydrates = sugar
Complex carbs are healthier, but also has to be used moderately.

You are probably young and have a high metabolizim(?). You are burning more than you put in. The bad thing about these carb diets is when you are on it you are basicly starving your body of carbs. Fat people stay off the carbs and their bodies burn the fat for energy. Once they get of the low carb diet their bodies start storing carbs like crazy because they haven't had them in a while. Which when unused turns into fat. Cattle farmers do the same with cows. They starve them of protein for a few weeks and then they load them up so that they look fuller and thicker when it comes time to sell them to the slaughter house. The best way to diet is to cut back on the total calories with only about a 20% to 30% intake of carbs. BUT one very inportant factor is exercize. People diet and lose weight but they don't realize that along with burning fat they are also burning off muscle. Do some cardo work and lift some weights to keep your muscle mass intack. Burn the fat over the muscle but keep the muscle by lifting 2-3 times a week.

This is wrong. Eating too much beef will clog your arteries. Too much carbs will give you a big belly in guys and a fat arse in girls.
