You could help by not quoting him in your posts. Otherwise, I wouldn't see
his rants at all....

Exercise and try counting calories. I estimate calories and so far it works
pretty well.

I find any amount of sugar is a huge problem, just the taste of it increases
your appetite. Plus coleslaw is made with very starchy vegetables... the
carrots at least.

You gotta love some of these posts huh? "I'm doing Atkins but I'm eating 4
snickers bars a day, plus a bottle of Coke and I can't seem to lose any

It's not a bad idea, although you don't have to do this. Personally I just
assume everything has more carbs than it says or I'm eating a larger serving
size and adjust my diet accordingly. Works like a charm.

I find this practice most frustrating and even dishonest for something like
a scored bar. Serving sizes should always be practical measure, IMO.

Actually, typical not many calories or carbs from the tiny amount of carbs
in carrots. Added sugar can be a problem, though.

I understand.

No question. Brains and nice personality are more important, especially
later down the road.

Yep...
It's the sequal to T2.

Arnold is a great role model.

Thanks for understanding!

Oops, that's usually what *I* say :) Sorry about that. He's been gone
for a while, so I've been out of practice.

There are studies hat show that going low enough in carbs
causes T3 to start falling after 2 weeks. Funny how the
directions state that OWL starts on day 15, that Induction
is very low in carbs, and OWL moves back up in carbs.
It adds up nicely as the standard process being designed
to handle T3 issues. Yet another reason to move on to OWL
on schedule.

The point of OWL is that each person has a carb level that
gives them their best loss and that the initial 20 is only an
undershoot to get nearly everyone into ketosis.
