Hi all. It's been awhile since I've posted here and I'm sure there are
a lot of newbies.
I just wanted to let everyone know that there is an inciteful
interview with the author of the new and popular low-carb diet book,

I started the Atkins diet today...bought some ketone test strips and
wonder what you guys think?  Anyone done it, tried, been successful?
I am relatively healthy, Type II diabetic with about 25 - 20 pounds,
mostly around the stomach to lose.  I work our regular and am pretty

i just made FRENCH TOAST out low carb bread, eggs, cream, and a
pinch of splenda.
topped it off with DAVINCI LC PANCAKE SYRUP!
all i can say is

This weekend I made lasagne using extra firm tofu in place of the noodles.
It was very good, in fact, I couldn't tell the difference. I made half the
pan with noodles and half with tofu. I had my SO taste the tofu version
without telling him what was different. His comment "Yea, so ...

After a long aerobic exercise session the colour of ketostick has fallen
from dark purple to light pink. Has anyone had this happen? Any ideas why? I
would think that it would remain in purple as your body has been using more
energy.

This week has been miserably cold.  That plus some online
conversations led me to try a few baking experiments.  I baked
pumpkin bread pudding, "cornbread", and peanut butter cookies.  Oh
yes, almost forgot the spice cookies that were like sawdust when

Oh boy, i am in trouble. I just went to jenny's site and figured up my

do you guys do to get your protein everyday?

Hi, I'm a new old lady on this list.  I lost 60 lbs with this diet back in
the early 70's before it was Atkins.  We just called it the "High
Protein/Low Carbohydrate" diet.
I kept the weight off for 15 years then went into a nosedive during a bad,

I'm always confused on this so somebody please help me out.  I like
mayonnaise and lots of it, in salads with garlic salt, with tuna, on
burgers, etc.  When I enter my daily info on Fitday, my carbs are very
low but my calories are so high.  I entered my mayo (Best Foods) in

My George Foremen grill is getting a bit old. I like it except for the way
it leaks onto the countertop at times. It is also a pain to clean at times.
Being that Friday is going to be a big sale day, I was wondering what the
best Foreman style grill is on the market? Anyone happy ...

2 weeks down and another successful week.  This week was fairly easy for me
to stay on track, although a couple of days I was up around 25 carbs, it was
good carbs or LC bread type stuff.  No sugar :)
Hubby's doing well too, he lost more the first week, I lost more this week.

I bought a bag of Bonito flakes, 2 bags of Shiritaki noodles, a bag of Agar
noodles (very stuck tgether)
and Sea Tangle noodles. I think the sea tangles and agar noodles are the
same! Its all just seaweed.

I checked Google Groups and saw the many explanations that
phaseolamin is a protein which is digested in the stomach before
it can do its carb-blocking thing in the small intestine. OK, I'm
fine with that.
