72-100 grams of carbs a day
The amount of carbs you can eat is all an individual thing. Yes, some can..
and yes, I eat that or pretty close to it and lose weight. Not as fast as when I cut way way down but I can still lose. I think it's been easier for me to do it more slowly but without feeling like I am depriving myself all the time. I don't obsess over counting carbs.. I don't eat white bread.. I get whole wheat sugar free bread and have that a few times a week.. I eat some of the *carbier* veggies that some people prefer to avoid.. even carrots and fresh corn once in awhile. I just mostly make a point of staying away from white flour, sugar, potatoes and pasta.. although sometimes I have whole wheat pasta, but not more than once or twice a month. I am just not a really huge pasta fan. I make lasagne using sliced zuchini in place of pasta noodles. My kids don't even care that it doesn't have pasta in it.. they love it. Sometimes it can be a matter of just leaving out the *really* bad stuff and substituting healthier alternatives.

He lost 45 pounds between April and October. It was the reason I decided to switch to LC from Weight Watchers. Hi, I've lost 16 kgs[35lbs] in the last 4 months, by cutting down on bread, potatoes, and pasta. Minimal exercise, a bit of walking early in the time frame, but none lately. Eating plenty of fruit, salads, and vegetables, eating pasta about once a week. Huge late breakfast Sundays, eggs, bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes, black pudding, no toast though. Charlie |

72-100 grams of carbs a day
I have! Started the diet on 06/09/03. Could not do induction. Just felt like
crap. Changed to this: - 100 grams of low glycemic carbs. Stone ground bread, whole wheat pasta, brown rice. But for example, for breakfast I eat 1/2 egg sandwich on whole wheat bread, with tomatos and bacon. - for lunch I eat ham or turkey on whole wheat breat. With mayo and tomatos. - for dinner, a burger in whole wheat pita, or whole wheat pasta with a meat sauce. - Went from 158.5 to 131, which was way too thin. - My maintenance weight is 135 now. I blow the WOE once a week with a big night out. - My trick is to keep exercising. And the weight is staying off. - Read "Eat, Drink, and be Healthy" Rich R.

72-100 grams of carbs a day
A friend of mine was diagnosed with diabetes in February of this year. Her
doctor put her on a diet 75-100 carbs per day. She was married in June and had lost about 35-40 lbs. It is a slow weight loss (apposed to the 30 is lost in just over a month with induction) but she is keeping it off. So I would say it certainly works, just depends on the results you are looking for "Rich R" wrote in message om... I have! Started the diet on 06/09/03. Could not do induction. Just felt like crap.

72-100 grams of carbs a day
That sounds about like my experience, sans the diabetes and the wedding. I
started by just trying to stay under 100 grams a day, but in the first two weeks of tracking on Fitday I believe my highest was in the 80's, my lowest in the 20's. I've been losing 1 - 2 pounds a week, which is plenty fast enough for me. In article , "Jackee" not available wrote: A friend of mine was diagnosed with diabetes in February of this year.

Since Atkins is a process to find your own body's ideal carb levels for loss and maintenance and I followed that process, I know my two numbers. My CCLL is 50ish and my CCLM is 100ish. So below 50 I tend to lose. Above 100 I tend to gain. Between 50-100 I tend to remain the same weight. I'm sure some would lose at 72-100. I'm sure some would gain in that range. |

Ditto re losing 30 lbs in induction. Some people do, and some don't. There seem to ba a lot of variables involved. -- Jean B. |
