relatively new Low carber

I started LCing in June after reading the
2002 Atkins Diet Revolution book. Before that, I had lost weight low-cal,
low-fat,
you name it, it was low (along with my enthusiasm). I used to post on asd
and occasionally lurk here a few years ago. Reading the posts, I found the
people here very knowledgeable, although I was still doubtful. "I'd never
eat *that
way*", I told myself. But I kept on reading.
Later on, I quit reading the diet ngs, gained weight back, and put that part
on my life on the back burner. Then for some inexplicable reason, I picked
up the
Atkins book. It totally debunked everything I ever thought about low carb.
I mean, I got it. It wasn't about "all meat, all the time".

So, whatever LC plan someone is doing, read the corresponding book. It does
make a difference. Well, at least it did with me. Now what helps me is
reading about living LC in the real life here.

Wonderful story, Lisa. And welcome to the biggest group of losers on the
net. I hope you're getting comfortable with the low-carb lifestyle, and
enjoy good health with it!

You're quite right about reading the book. I keep meaning to get and read
the South Beach diet book for comparisons, but haven't done it yet.

Hi Lisa, welcome (back) to the group! It's so nice to "get it", isn't it? Of
course, once you DO get it, then you'll get frustrated with the ones who haven't
"got it" yet and feel the need to come here and beat us over the head with their
haven't-got-it-ness :-) (yes, I DO like to make up my own words)
