There are "low carb, low cal, low fat," Wolfgang Puck coffee drinks now.
Only they have 110 calories per bottle, 54 calories from fat, and 9 grams
carbs. I'm using them to flavor my coffee, so they're not bad for that,
but still, they aren't really low carb and certainly aren't low calorie or
low fat.

The only way that I've found to lose weight on the low-carb lifestyle is to
do what Dr. Atkins originally stated: Limit your carbs to fresh vegetables
(and later fruits), and fill the rest of your diet with meats and other
low-carb items such as fish, cheese, and eggs.

Going willy-nilly over foods that approach the look and flavor of higher
carb foods but are advertised as low-carb products is, in my opinion, going
to lead to failure.

If it works for you, please feel free to argue and tell me I'm wrong. I'm
of the solid opinion that such foods do not lead people to weight control.



Unfortunately, you are correct. ;-)
If you continue to crave and eat anything other than what is in the low
carb guidelines, at least on a routine basis, this lifestyle is not
going to work for you.

OTOH, the occasional carb indulgence, say, no more than once per week,
is not going to hurt in the long run as long as you don't go nuts on it.

I had a horrible craving for chicken noodles tonight. First real carb
indulgence in at least a month or so.

Cooked a serving of bean thread noodles in organic chicken broth and put
in 1/4 cup of heavy cream.

56 grams of carbs.

sigh

Gonna pay for that for at least the next 5 days but it was really good,
and killed the craving. ;-)
