After a few hard months of low carbing, I have finally lost 5 lbs.  I
have some questions for some of you that have lost 50 or more lbs.
Keep in mind, I am a middle age woman so that might affect your
advice:

If there really is a huge metabolic advantage to being in ketosis, like
Atkins describes in his book, I want to know. If it really is true I want to
try one more time to bring myself back into ketosis, restrict just carbs
again and keep track of calories carefully just to see what ...

Heya, fellow LC'ers,
Well, I have been on the Atkins induction diet for well over 4 years,
now, and it really worked for me.  However, I am on a plateau that I
cannot break.  See, about a year ago, my then-girlfriend said I was

Hello, all,
With all the negative posts about most of the new "low-carb" products,  I
just want to make sure I'm not missing something about my one low-carb
product that I buy. It's Advant-Edge's Carb Control (ready to drink) shakes.

Anyone care to recommend any books pertaining to Type 2 diabetes?
It looks like dh will soon have the dx--pending blood test results.
Tested his bgl the other day just out of curiosity(I got a new machine for

Sorry if this has been discussed here, but I was wondering what the general
feel is for the South Beach diet.  I did low carb pretty religiously for
about 3 years starting in August of 2000.  I went from 268 to 195 in less
than one year and felt great.  Stayed in maintenance until ...

This must have been asked a hundred times on here already but scanning
through the posts, I could not find a good recipe for a cheesecake and I
want to make one tomorrow since I have most the ingredients.  I know you
need cream cheese, vanilla, eggs, splenda...What else and how much ...

I had an interesting comment from my wife this morning.  We
were comparing weight loss numbers and she told me she wants
to lose 16 more pounds (53 gone so far, yeah for her!)  She
also stated that she is happy with where my weight is now.

Do they sell kon'nyaku (also written konnyaku or konjac) in the U.S.? It is
a very common food here in Japan, and has almost no calories or carbs. You

There ... I've got my signature working now ... and despite my detractors,
over a hundred people registered since my last response.  We even have
people like Dani, who was looking for another low-carber - and she's in
Canada, so the ZIP search feature isn't even helpful to her!  But ...

I posted about my low bp (85/45 - 95/55) a while ago before starting a
lower-carb diet.... And...
I know there's no clinical data about this out there, but it worked
for me.  My bp is up to 105/70!  I haven't had a systotic reading

Hi, I have just completed the 1st two-week induction phase of Atkins
and lost absolutely nothing!!!  I even took the L-Carnitine, CQ10,
Vitamins, and chromium picolinate that was suggested in the sluggish
metabolism section of the book just to be on the safe side.  I work
