I know there are some low-carbers here and thought maybe this would be a
place to ask my questions.
I tried the low-carb diet amost two years ago and it wasn't for me.  But
that was before the low carb diet was as popular as it is now and I'm

A friend and I went to see a movie last night, we both have a similar food
plan, which is free from processed grains, sugar, etc.  So our normal going out
for cheesecake or some other treat was out.  It was late so grabbing a coffee
didn't seem to fit the bill either, neither of us ...

I have been dieting (~1300 cal/day) / exercising (1/2 hr jog or 1 hour
walk daily) for about three weeks now and I have lost about 2 pounds.
Is this normal?  Should I do something different or just wait?

and starvation for NOTHING!?! The only reason to ...

The scale said 192.5, my excel spreadsheet moving average says 194.0,
with 75% of my weight loss goal in the bag.

Diet of Low-Fat, Low-Calorie Foods
May Trick the Body Into Eating More
June 29, 2004; Page D1

I have lurked on this group for several months and have always enjoyed
reading the posts. Like many of the people here, I have gained/regained most
of my life.  Losing weight has NEVER been a problem (but neither has
regaining weight!)

I have always read that yogurt is a healthy snack, a good alternative
to cookies, etc.  But I have trouble finding any that have less sugar
than a full can of Moutain Dew!  I have four flavors here, they range
from 43g of sugar to 51g.  And it's not good (natural) sugar either.

(forgot to put my pedometer back on when I changed my clothes at 5 p.m.  -- but I
didn't walk a whole lot after that -- maybe 200 -300 steps?

I just spoke to my friend, who has some background in nutrition (she
studied "nutrition") somewhere, and she said an interesting thing,

loss. Is that really true?
