Greetings, I am on Atkins and have lost about 35 pounds (down to 227
at 5'9"). A friend just emailed me about a new "great opportunity"
since he knew I was into low carb big time (trying to be "littler"
time). Anyway, the pitch is that this network marketing company is

no headaches and no carb flu and 8 lbs down. I know most of it is water but
it's gone :o)  Finding that I am eating less now as I am full up and more
satisfied more easily than before this.  I have prepared DH and children's
carbs for their lunchboxes and dinners in the evening etc ...

I have been good and followed my low carb diet since last June.  I dropped
down to about 233 from about 295.
My wife says I look good, but I still see a huge gut when I look in the
mirror.  I have lost a lot of weight in my legs and butt, but I really

Been On Atkins for approx. 4 months. Have lost 30 pounds and feel
great. Noticed, however, darkness in urine when I get dehydrated. Went
to Doctor for check up and urine test revealed "moderate" amount of
blood in urine. Checked prostate and said it was fine. Has ordered

All of you who are doing atkins and counting calories at the
same time are not doing it properly.
It is not how it is written.
If you are doing it that way then the reason it has worked so far for you is

At the store beef jerky in the package contains some carbs and often some
sugar. On fitday.com they show beef jerky as having like 10 carbs.
I bought some london broil steaks and sliced them up. Rolled the slices in

Okeydoke.  I started tracking everything I eat on Fitday today, and I mean
_everything_.  Well, almost.  I didn't enter my water because I have no
idea how much I drink, I just know it's a lot.  But I even entered how much
salt, pepper, and basil I used, in my best estimation.

A few days ago I posted about bad reactions I had to a hard candy with
sucralose and sorbitol.
I decided to try a different brand of sugarless hard candy. It didn't
specifically list sorbitol or sucralose in the ingredients. In fact, the

I was driving by a local Arby's yesterday and was shocked to see on
their sign "Our New Arby's Low Carby Menu is Here!".  I had seen no
advertising of it anywhere else, no commercials, nothing.
I just went to their web site and sure enough, near the end of their

I'm starting to eat less of low carb/low cal foods and my weight loss is
once again moving forward.  I just have to finish off my spare tire.  My
question, is it better to eat less, do cardio workouts, or both?

Here's my deal...
I'm a fairly new low-carber. Have gradually "eased" my way into it. I
started off taking smaller carb portions. At this point I do not eat
bread or pasta. My diet includes meat, eggs, cheese, nuts. I freely

Binges don't work.

Has anyone else tried taking megadose Vitamin C during a low carb diet?
I recently upped my dose of Vitamin C to 12 to 14 grams per day using timed
release tablets.  My weight loss didn't stop, but it did slow down quite
bit.  I'm not sure if it is a coincidence or not.

I was in a mall at lunchtime today, and after scouting around the food
court, the chargrilled chicken garden salad from Chick-Fil-A looked like
the best choice.  Along with the useless bag of croutons, they included a
packet of sunflower seed kernels too.  I was pleased with that (I ...
