I found some great-looking asparagus, red and orange peppers, some
basil/sun-dried tomato cheddar cheese, cornish hens, large scallops and
ground chicken on sale today.  Woot!

Thursday  I went in for my appt. I have been low carbing since July 03. My
Dr had suggested I was a candidate for stomach stapling. I seriously
considered it even knowing all the risks. Thankfully I found the Atkins
diet. I have numerous health problems not related to my weight but ...

My wife and I...both on Atkins are celebrating our 25th this year and
wanted to go on a cruise. But Atkins has no cruises scheduled. Anyone
familiar with any cruise lines that cater to Atkins addicts?  Don't want
to pay for a cruise then have to pass up the meals or be very ...

How about artificial sweeteners?  I drink it in coffee and diet sodas.  How
much is too much?

I had to give up table salt to lower my blood pressure. And, it's working!
Are salt substitutes still quite harmful or are their any relatively safe
replacements?
Thank you!

I thought he slipped on some ice and bumped his head . At least that is what
I have seen in this newsgroup. But this Article came out in a well respected

Good afternoon all,
I'm going out tonight with a bunch of friends, we're going to a mexican
place.   I was figuring on eating a tostada or taco salad, no beans and of

After reading that a well-conducted study showed that people eating

decided to test it out with my trusty blood sugar meter.

I was wondering if anyone makes their own bread in a machine or no machine
that is a low carb version?  I usually don't allow any bread, but I am
testing waters now and want to try and make some.  Anyone?

Just a heads up to those who may be interested.....HEB is now carrying "locarb"
tortillas--like someone else mentioned, right next to the regular ones at the
tortilla making stand.  However, the bag is sealed, not twist-tied like the
regular ones, so I dont think they make them ...

Particularly, I'm a lover of Bread and Butter pickles and I've been looking
for these here in San Francisco and can't find them.Granted its only been
like 4 stores, but still. Any clue on where to get them in the Bay Area? SF,
Marin, peninsula or SJ are all cool. Not the east bay ...

When I was in a health food store a couple of weeks ago I bought a can of
"Keto (brand) Instant Pudding Mix," banana flavor.  Because a serving has
just 1 effective gram of carbs, I thought it must be too good to be true.  I
made some tonight and boy, was I ever right!

Does anyone know of a store in Canada carrying the DaVinci line of sugarfree
syrops?

Mueller's has a new Reduced Carb Pasta.
Granted it's not as low at the Atkins and
Keto Pasta.
