I have lost 73 pounds on Atkins since last July!


Good for you.

I did level off in
February, and my weight has not gone up or down since. I consume
roughly 50 to 60 carbs a day now.

My cholestorol went down from 270 to 185!


That does happen when one loses 73 pounds.

I no longer eat Bread, pasta, ANY sugar, etc. etc. and have never felt
better in years.


I would attribute the latter to losing 73 pounds.

I DO need to exercise more though.


However, you have shown that exercise though great for cardiovascular
health is not essential for weight loss.

Just my observations. I'm a DEDICATED ATKINS fanatic!


Uh-oh.

You don't have to switch to another way of eating to reduce the calories.
Just east less.


You probably meant to write "Just eat less."

Couldn't agree more with what you meant:

No switching is required with the 2PD approach which can be dovetailed

I've discovered where the two pound diet comes from. The idea was first
put forth in chapter 1 of that hilarious classic, "Three Men in a Boat"
by Jerome K. Jerome, published in 1889:


I've never read that. However, thank you for your interest.

The inspiration for the 2PD approach can be found he

om...

I must say that even if it would cut year or two of my life, complete
disappearing of so much of minor medical problems (heartburns,
occasional shaking muscles, atopic eczema, unlike my wife and childer I
have not got flu since on LC, etc, etc..) would be worth it.

I DO need to exercise more though.


That is my problem too...

May God make time for you to exercise, in Christ's name.

I can understand people not wanting to be constantly hungry....however,
being hungry a few times per day, say before mealtime, should not be too
much to ask. The fact that most of us don't like it must, I suppose, come
from conditioning -- we're just not used to it, and like something
unfamiliar, we have become afraid if it. However, for weight loss, not all
of that fear is unjustified, because some will definitely lose control after
getting too hungry when dieting, and end up blowing the day. But generally
speaking, those of us in the US have easy access to food, so we should know
intellectually that food is only moments away.

What was your BMI?

I will rather relly on myself, but thank you (BTW, more exercise now
means more than one hour of cardio daily).
