Hello everyone.  I have been lurking in the Low Carb newsgroup since Late
December of 2003.  Some of you have seen my post within the past couple
months.  I wanted to apologize because I have never properly introduced
myself to the newsgroup.  Here is my story...

I have quit smoking for 2 months now and just started atkins 6 days ago. Yo,
this drug kills cravings I used to crave pizza and chinese food and wings
and alcohol. I am a new person  I have to make an effort to eat my 20G a
day( lots of salad) Not to mention that most people who ...

Well, I got a reply from Atkins this morning.  It sounds pretty lame to me.
What do y'all think?

ATKINS REPLY ABOUT LOW GLYCEMIC CORNSTARCH

Does anybody have any references to studies that describe
clothing sizes in the US and possible modifications to them
over the years?  I've been searching but haven't hit on
anything that describes what I am looking for.  I vaguely

I have been following Atkins WOE for almost year and over the past 4 months
have increased my exercise level.
I'll be doing several fund raining walk/run events over the next two months
and people are telling me that I should not just drink water when it gets

So they're finally realizing this NOW?
Isn't this what Atkins was saying way back when a guy named Kennedy

I have a question for all the shrinking guys out there... Or rather an
observation that I'm curious about. You see, the smaller my husband becomes,
the larger his, ah, well... <insert favorite penis phrase> seems to get. How is
this? Less fat on the pelvic bone? Better circulation ...

As many of you know, I was diagnosed as diabetic in December, when a fasting
blood test shoed blood glucose level of 135 and HbA1c of 9.0.   My
cholesterol was high and triglycerides had crept back up to the deadly level
again.

I picked up a package of tortillas made locally.  The nutrition label sounds
wrong to me, but I thought I would post it to get others opinions....(it's
in Cdn measurements)
Per 34g serving (1 tortilla)

On the positive side, I was down to 190 on the scale this
morning so that was okay.  How I got here (two pounds in two
days) is not good at all.
I have had as rough a week at work as I have ever had in my

How's that for a provocative title?
Now drag your brains back to lowcarbing. <g>
I chronicled my adventures in off plan eating last week. For those of you
who missed it - I scheduled an off plan day in order to kick my metabolism

Here's the deal.....I had a Sunday "food-up" that consisted of lots of carbs
and fat.  Went way over my 1700-1800 kcals per day limit.
To keep the weight loss going, I decided to basically not eat much for a

After starting this WOE last August, I have never gotten to
the point of finding my CCLM.  It was difficult to add carbs
exactly as the book recommends, since my TOM was (and still
is) very irregular and my weight fluctuates wildly, thus it

Went to the Oriental Market today to buy shiratake noodles and bought
a package of seaweed nori sheets on a whim. Each sheet is 8" by 8".
The nutritional info on the package says 5 sheets per serving, with a
total of 1 carb, but since most of the writing on the package is in

Anyone using this stuff for coffee (or recipes)????
Just wondering what the damage is with it and whether or not it tastes okay? I
need to cut calories and so I'd like to switch to something lighter for coffee.
Comments??
