Well... almost a month into this WOE, I have lost 12 lbs.  The scale hasn't
moved since Friday of last week.  Fortunately, it hasn't gone up, but it's
not dropping either.
I eat less than 20g of carbs per day.  I really haven't changed anything

First, I want to thank Jenny for the excellent resources on her

I've been lurking for a long time, and thought I would introduce myself.
I've been doing the LC WOE for about 7 years off and on...sometimes more
"off" than "on," but that's a long story...I found most of the time when I
went "off" it was when I would hit a plateau and get ...

This was the 2nd time in my life that I have bought ground beef.  It was on
sale for $1.99 a pound.  (The first time was when I tried making spaghetti
sauce, years ago.)
I tried giving my dog some raw hamburger.  Wow, he loved it.

ok so I gave it a go

I am counting down to my wedding day in June of this year (only 4
months left) and i started Atkins yesterday.
I tried the diet in Noveember 2003 and lost 17 pounds in 3
weeks....but then Christmas struck and i ended putting it all back on.

A newbe here and I was wondering if anyone has CHF and has tried the Atkins
diet and what were the results? I'm pretty sure I can define the approximate
age where I developed the CHF and it coincides with weight gain (water
retention) of about 20/25#. Since "official" diagnosis and ...

First, it's nice to see you posting.  I think of you as one of the
LC dessert goddesses.
Anyway, I am thinking of making either your tiramisu or just the
almond loaf for an experiment (or I may split the loaf up and try

Last night I went to dinner with my son and daughter-in-law, and I persuaded
them to go to TGI Fridays to check out the new Atkins menu.
We all shared an order of the Tuscan Spinach Dip with fresh vegetables, and
it was awesome. I loved it, and certainly plenty big enough for 3 as ...

I buy the Wal-Mart brand Peanut Butter and it has 5g of carbs and 2g
of dietary fibers. Net=3g. Me or my kids can't taste a difference. And
it's MUCH cheaper than Skippy!

I'd like to have some frozen meals, made with real products and
vegetables. I'd like less snacks and ice cream (those -- and beer and
pizza -- are how I got fat in the first place) and things with
"polydextrose" and "maltitol" and other evil-sounding names.  Stuff that's

Just in case any of you haven't heard of them or tried them- these
things are amazing!  I couldn't tell them from regular white flour
ones and they brown beautifully for quesadillas.  MMMMMM  If I may say
so, 100% better than La Tortilla Factory (and I used to like those

could someone explain net carbs to me?  this only makes
sense if fiber is a carb

Hello, everyone. I lost 35 lbs. low carbing a year or so ago. I
have held fairly steady (I haven't weighed lately, maybe I
shouldn't say that), but I still need to lose some weight and
improve my cholesterol so I'm going back to the low carb. I had a
