I am confused as to what your body does with sugar-alcohols.  Does it use
them but not raise your insulin level, therefore slowing down weight loss
but not adding weight or does it not use them at all?  It seems when I use
products with sugar-alcohols I am not loosing weight.  I ...

This picutre is a little old when I was a little fatter.

I wore a ALMOST size 42 Dockers Pants in those days. Now I wear maybe
a 38. But it does more or less represent the shape of my body. IE

I have been on the Atkins induction phase for about 8 weeks now.  My
weight was 168# when I started following the plan.  It is now 152.5#.
I have been following the plan stricly.  Meats, eggs, some cheese,
approved veggies and salads with oil dressings.  Three days ago I

         Hubby brought home a bag of these and they're pretty good toasted.  I
made a big batch of egg salad yesterday and tried it on 1/2 of a bagel and it
was  good.  Not for induction, but on maintenance I can afford 1/2 of one per
day.

It was great. Some folks seem to have gotten the impression that I was
worried that I wouldn't be able to find lo-carb items on the menu. That was
not what I was confronting.
For me, it was whether or not I would stick to lo-carb eating or go for

I am running rehearsals for an upcoming show and one of the things I
do is provide munchies for my actors.  Gnereally speaking, I put out
veggies, fruit, hummus and pita.  However, one of them is following
Atkins, so obviously this is not a good assortment for him.  As he is

Today was a fairly decent eating day.  I had an Atkins breakfast bar for
breakfast - it was an early, too-fast morning - with coffee and a T of
heavy cream.  For lunch, it was a salad with 4 ounces turkey breast, 2
ounces of the cheddar/sundried tomato/pesto cheese and oil and ...

As promised Curt. Here are theTuscan and Siena sausage recipes that I said I
would post. I forgot about them. Sorry
With the Tuscan, it's especially important to keep everything COLD. The
pancetta's fat content makes it very difficult to work with if not cold.

Has anyone out there had any experience with the soy flour that is on the
market?  I bought some tonight at Kroger but haven't made anything with it
yet.  It was the lowest carb flour I could find and I figured I may be able
to do some baking with it.

Man, just when I'm trying to get my snacking under control, I come up with
this idea. Well, it's a new idea to me, but I bet someone else thought of
it first and I'm just slow.
I spread a light layer of olive oil on a toaster oven tray, put some clumps

Since it was so nice today, 60 and sunny, I put on a short
sleeved shirt and did some outdoor work.  When I reached out
to lift something, low and behold, I saw little biceps.
Kinda cool...spent the next five minutes staring at them : )

Fellow Low Carbers
I have reviewed and tried many Low Carb Ice cream recipes from this newsgroup and several websites and have modified them to make it better tasting and smoother while maintaining it low carb. Below is my version of the ice cream recipes that is as creamy and ...

Just thought that I would share my progress with you all.
So, this morning I tried on my target jeans (I don't like weighing myself,
so I don't very often).  Not only did I get them on like last time, I could
do them up easily, and there is a little slac here and there.  Not only

I was rummaging through a pile of papers and found my lipid
profile as tested shortly before I started low-carbing it,
when I was still hovering around my heaviest weight.
