You're bad Roger. Very bad indeed. <G>
==========================
Well if I couldn't lose on Atkins and 1200 calories a day, I figured
I'd try
something else after a 2 year stall LCing. My NP suggested I do
this and
it sounded great to me. But it seems the LC diet has *changed* on
this NG
from SUMPTUOUS meat based meals, to LC veggie meals. I wonder why?
CALORIES
perhaps? So Carmen, tell us, how much are YOU losing each week on
LC? ;-)

that calories count.
# That is fantastic! :-) I truly am happy for you.
I'm diabetic so I need to stay low-carb. Of
Quoted message said:course the fact that calories count has been known and told in this
group for years.
# At one time no one on this NG wanted to hear that. They took the Atkins
books for GOSPEL truth! Anyone mentioning calories was quickly told it's
not a diet and no need to count calories - that it was a WOL and blah,
blah,... now I see most posters *HERE* are actually on a LOW CALORIE almost
vegetarian diet. That was NOT the case 2 years ago. There were endless
posts about meat dinners and salad, salad and meat, meat and..... when it
switched to veggies I was gone by then.
People hear what they want to hear. Hell, Roger

1200c when you're on a diet like Atkins which contains a lot of fat is not
much food. Look at the calories in bacon, cheese, cream, nuts, butter etc.
Of course I could drop under 1000c and lose weight, but then I had the
headaches, heart palp's etc.

# I see more posts about veggies than I do meat, unlike 2 years ago.
