I was born in 1972 as a normal weighing child.  I pretty much led a
normal life, but have always been heavy.  At the age of 3 months, my

I think I'm allergic to coconut meat. Does that mean that I will be allergic
to coconut milk and oil?
Can I get tested for coconut allergies?
I enjoy the flavor (this means I am hah? lol )  and would like to start

does anyone know of any liquors that are low carb?  i dont like beer, so LC

Since lowcarbing, my nails are growing at 200% of their "normal" speed.

again but not neccessarily together.
I made the Cod wrapped in Grape Leaves and also a baked caulifower with
white cheddar. The cauliflower was awesome, I will make that with burgers

I still have mixed feelings watching this Blaine guy on Fit TV. He'll have
a marathon on Monday I think.

I've just begun experimenting with root veggies like these, and they're all
delicious and make wonderful chips. They're so good I wonder if they can
really be low-carb. :)
Has anyone got a quick comparison chart of these vs each other and vs

Below is a summary of my weight and sodium intake from 2/1- 2/11.  As
you can see, it started to jump up after ingesting 2000+ mgs of
sodium/day.  After cutting it back down to less than 2000 mgs/day, my
weight returned to what it was before the jump.  CAVEAT:  My TOM is

While reading the March issue of Low Carb Energy magazine, I came
across an article by Dr. Fred Pescatore regarding common myths about
fat.  According to him, canola oil is the most unhealthful oil on the
market because it contains from 5 to 15 percent trans fat right out of
