Not only was I indoctrinated my entire life that low-fat, low-cat was
"healthy," but that cutting out as much salt as possible is also
"healthy." Don't *ever* *ever* *ever* put salt purposefully on foods
because they are probably already salted, and you get enough salt from

Two weeks ago, the GF asked me to go on the South Beach low-carb diet with
her.   Becoming increasinly dissatisfied with my nascent obesity, I was more
than happy to participate.
Well, it's day 14 of my non-carb diet, and I've lost 10 pounds, and had a

Apparently the eggs I get are relatively fresh, because they are quite hard

Somebody posted here about a month ago about how to make hard-boiled eggs

Yesterday, I discovered that one could extract wheat protein (gluten)
from flour quite easily.
The process is decribed in all recipies for Seitan, a Japanese meal.
I did it with whole wheat flour, but I'm on my way to buy the right kind

I would like to make this soup which is in dana carpender's 15 minute
low-carb recipe book.  However, I only have 1 cup of heavy cream, not 2 as
the recipe states.  I am wondering if I can use the 1 cup of heavy cream I
have and then add 1 cup of half and half?  Has anyone tried ...

What do you all think about a low-carb restaurant, opened by people
(investors) like you and I? The menus have all the nutritional information
on them. The menus include a vast array of meats, cheeses, creams, etc. No
bread and no sugar can be found anywhere in the restaurant. Once ...

I have recently had some success with a new approach to my eating. In the
past, I found myself plagued with hunger pangs. I didn't eat because I was
upset or emotionally triggered - I was hungry. In the past, I had success
with a Protein Sparing Modified Fast that migrated to a ...

Well, I survived the business trip without too many problems; was
starting to slip at the end there (I actually let them give me some
mashed potatoes, but I only ate 1/3 of the portion) and got home still
in ketosis.

When is AOL going to start offerring a Low Carb alternative to their
regular internet service?  And what about a Low Carb hotmail email
account. I wouldn't mind paying a few cents or even dollars more, if I
could have a low carb account.  One that's current with the times.

Hi everyone :-)
This is my first post here, I've been lurking since last December, a month
before I started a low-carb woe with my hubby, we're doing a combo of
Protein Power and Atkins. I've lost 30, he has lost 25, we make a great

"Other experts argue that the debate over the relative merits of various

Prior to LC, I rarely took supplements.  Now, as part of an overall
plan of improving my health, I'm taking some.  I started with a basic
multi and calcium, and have added a few others I learned about here
and elsewhere in my 'net perusal.

Well, we're back from the hospital and Howard's surgery went well.
The surgeons left as much of the forearm as they could, and went to
