Thankyou

Because it is my birthday [happy birthday to me :) ], I am
marking a series of milestones in weightloss and change of WOE.
First: I've lost a total of 55 pounds, which is well past
my usual 30-pounds-and-bail process for any previous diet, so

I went on the Diet Rite web page and the only available information is
a copy of the label from the can.  I contacted their customer service
and explained that Atkins requires us to count a Splenda packet as a
carb (even though their label says zero carbs) and could they please

HI, I have been checking my blood pressure in the machine at my local
supermarket since before I started LC. Since the first time it has
gone down 15 points in both numbers the numbers this afternoon where

I have been on Atkins for 5 weeks and 500 mg. of metformin for 3 weeks
now. My a.m. blood glucose has dropped from the 130's to the 110's. I
see my primary in a week and I plan to increase the med to 1000 mg.

I just wanted to share this. My DH and I had to take a driving trip out
of town today. We had to stop for gas and use the facilities on the way

about 180 lb.  He listens while I babble on and on about the

Yesterday and today I was using nutrasweet instead of splenda (it's a lot
cheaper) and I notice I have a return of the heartburn I used to have
before lc.  Anyone else have this problem?

all-meat, low carb tortilla..."
And to save you the next Google search:

Just found these at the A&P here in NJ.  Tried the pickles and they
are very good, hard to tell from the real thing.  Only 1g carb per 6
chips.  I love these with tuna salad, I also add some of the liquid to
the tuna salad.  I'm sure the relish will be good too.

I started Atkins induction on 2/23/2004 (or for my fellow
"foreigners", 23/2/2004 :->)  I have adhered to the rules of induction
scrupulously.  Atkins allowed a little wiggle room on SF Jello and I
wiggled, and it turns out, I could be one of those who have a problem

Someone here mentioned depression as a side effect of low carbing.
