Robert Atkins' Bathroom Scale

Origin
Robert Atkins was a famous nutritionist who created the controversial Atkins Diet. Consumers main source of calories came from protein and fat while they would carefully limit the amount of carbohydrates they ate, restricted mostly to vegetables. Although successful at trimming away excess weight, many in the medical community decry his methodology. Many state his explanation of metabolic processes to the average person are oversimplified and therefore incorrect, and that the dietary restrictions can cause long term health problems.

Effects
The scale causes weight loss after it is stepped on. Any carbohydrates they eat will only possess a mere fraction of the normal caloric intake. Afterwards, any fried food they eat will make them feel and appear 10 pounds heavier.
