This CARB business has gone way too far.......... - porta.jpg (0/1)
wrote in message ... This CARB business has gone way too far.......... Unfortunately I can't see your photo, but would you care to elaborate? Many folks are loosing big pounds and keeping it off, while at the same time eliminating the worst of the carbs that kept us from loosing in the first place. Been on other diets and done them. Low carb is the way: it works. MW (see photo in next post) |

"Proprclr" wrote in message om... This CARB business has gone way too far.......... I agree. It's yet another fad that the sheeple follow, and folks are making plenty of money off of it. Not true. The total cost for me has been $10 for the Atkins book and not another cent spent on anything but normal food. Remember that MANY common foods are naturally low in carbs so there's no need to spend big bucks on non-necessities. My advice: Forget the hype, and consult a reputable doctor And you don't think doctors charge enough these days? What is health coverage costing per year for someone who runs their own business, such as myself? MW |

Low carb is the way: it works. I've been on low carb for 4 months now and love it. I got my blood test results today: my tryglycerides dropped from 165 (normal limit is 149) to 93, cholesterol dropped from 180 to 161 and my "good" to "total cholesterol" ratio is a perfect 3.3:1! Congratulations! That's what I've been saying. The cholesterol numbers should improve in most people unless there is a health related problem causing the higher numbers. A lot of folks are fearing Atkins and other low carb diets because they fly in the face of conventional diets and thinking. This is unfortunate because obesity and diabetes have become epidemic, yet they still pound the low fat diets at us! Michael |

This is unfortunate because obesity and diabetes have become epidemic, yet they still pound the low fat diets at us! why anyone would go for low-fat without trying low(er) carb is beyond me. Mainly because you can eat a lot more on low-fat, given that carbohydrates and proteins only have 4 Kilocalories per gramme, whereas fats have 9. Do the arithmetic..... 1500-2500 kcal/day is plenty of caloric headroom for some good-tasting foods, once you cut out the sugar and starch. That, of course, is the big trouble with the low-fat band-wagon; pre-made foods that are touted as "low-fat" very often have extra sugar added, thus undoing all the good that cutting out surplus fat might do. I think that if you are serious about losing weight and/or eating healthily, you will prepare most of your food from scratch, thus maintaining control of what goes into it. Having said that, why do so-called "low-fat" yoghurts *have* to have artificial sweetener added? It does taste so disgusting. -- Annabel Smyth http://www.amsmyth.demon.co.uk/index.html Website updated 18 July 2004 |

I've recently discover Total (the brand name) Greek-style yogurt, which comes in regular fat and also fat-free. It has no added sweetener, and even the fat-free is unbelievably creamy. I don't know if/where it's available in the UK, though. Chris 262/143/ (145-150) |
