Convinced the battery in my scale was surely dying, I replaced it. Then
I dragged the damn thing all over the floor to find the "right" spot,
the spot where the numbers would read, "190". Inagine my dismay to
finally come to grips with the hard fact----only one pound gone in a
week.

AAAAAGGGGHHHHH.

OK. Life is full of dissapointments. I warched "Hud" on TV this
morning....and a least I didnt have to shoot all my cattle due to Hoof
and Mouth disease....so, things could be worse.

Now....my thinking was...."as long as I keep it to 20 carbs a day, it
shouldnt matter where those carbs came from."

Evidentally.....this is not true. If I've learned anything this week,
it's this:
Ya cant drink a liter of wine a day and lose weight.

But what I want to know is.....WHY?

why are wine carbs dfferent from food carbs? Where did my logic err?
What exactly is it that makes this happen? Does alcohol....stop ketosis?
Or...what?

Of course, I also did O exercise this week.

There is no such thing as a Free Lunch.
Nor a "get out of jail free" card.
Do NOT pass GO. Do not collect $200.

Color me bummed.

sigh.

Is there anything worse than the knowledge, "I did this to myself"?

Moving aside from the engaging online argument, here....

Low-carb diets largely work for about two reasons...focusing your meals on
lower-carb foods cause you to feel less hungry while your body switches to
fat-burinng mode (burning up all those carbs your body stored as fat while
you were eating more that your body needed), and also it seems that it takes
more energy to burn stored fat than it does high-carb foods taken in
directly.

I do not believe in eating the "low-carb" tastealikes that often end up
being higher in calories than the natural foods that are higher in carbs,
but are similar in calories. Calories count, and there's no way around
that. Fewer calories in and more calories out results in weight loss.
Nothing magic about a low-carb diet. It mostly keeps you from having sugar
spikes and keeps you from being hungry a lot, while using more of your body
energy to digest what you have eaten.

A lot of people here don't like JC, but he's been telling the truth for a
long time... eat less and exercise more. Of course, he's a Texan. We do
that a lot, tell the truth whether people want to hear it or not.

Lots of people don't like George Bush, either, he does the same thing.
Tells the truth whether people want to hear it or not.

Except for Weapons of Mass Destruction...... and more.

Presidents lie.

Some more than others.

Amd peope who don't
exactly want to hear the truth usually getting snake-bit on their butts.
And then want to blame someone else for it.

Go figure.
