Ok, I swear on the Low Carb lifestyle!!! I have been off and on a LC eating plan for the past 6 years. When I am on LC, I no longer have to take high blood pressure meds, diabetes, depression and bi-polar meds, I AM MEDICATION FREE!!! I have done so much research about the science behind it and I have so many low carb…

I am joining in too. I am researching the "calcium leeching thing" because my bones are actually stronger on a density test since low carbing over the past few years.............and I have done low carb off and on.

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Great advice.

He didn't die of a heart attack. He was a heart doctor that helped many people get healthy. A head injury killed Dr. A. Do not slander the man. Check out my blood work in my signature.....................It is better thanks to Atkins.

We are all here to help as we have been there and done that. Cut the cord to the vicious cycle, don't let it win.

I would say Gimmick. I would go with getting a juice or something from a health food store that contains the actually fruit.

People don't care if they bleach something, take all the nutrition out of it or anything else the food manufacturers do to the food we eat.............. As long as they are at their caloric intake for the day, they don't care what the quality of the food is.......... I found that out the hard way today concerning high…

There is a book called Eat Fat, Get Thin by Barry Groves. Also, I specifically do Atkins and the book is called Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution, 2002 version. It goes deeply into the science of low carbing and how it works for your body. Also, watch these You tube vids.......................…

Get on a low carb plan and exercise!!! Not only will you get healthier, but you will lose weight and FEEL GREAT!!!! Read the posts in this thread, come join us!!! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/60340-battle-with-carbohydrates?page=1#posts-724348

Yes, you are absolutely right............... The way I understand the science, is you can eat refined, low fat carbs OR Fat, but not both. When you eat both, is what causes you to gain weight............ Me, I am so sensitive to refined carbs that I will gain even when doing low fat and low calorie........... So eating…

Me too, I lose beautifully on low carb................ And that is the GREAT thing about watching carbs, you don't have to count calories, you the the freedom to eat.............. We as humans are NOT designed to eat grains, that is why so many people have intolerances to different grains..................we are meat…

Yesterday alone, I ate 78 grams of fat and was still under my daily goal. According to my Dr, I still don't eat enough fat. My ratios are as follows though: Fat 60% Protein 30% Carbs 10%

Actually they are finding that saturated fats are not bad for you either, in moderation................. Here is a post from another topic on here under the food and nutrition category............

I guess in everyone's eyes, I am the new Dave198, LOL

You need to stop being so sensitive as no one is coming off as high and mighty. No ones words from an internet forum should affect them, that is being overly, overly sensitive. And those same people that come across as sensitive probably can not take constructive criticism in real life................ I see people on this…

Well if you were sitting in front of me, you would know that everything I say on this board and any board I belong to is not said in a mean way or anything............ I say it with a caring heart and the best of intentions............. The thing is with the internet, people perceive things the way they want to because…

The fiber gourmet has 24 digestible carbs............ With carb counting, you don't count the fiber carbs, as your body doesn't digest them. So the fiber gourmet has 42 total carbs -18 fiber carbs24 grams of carbs to count that could have an impact on your blood sugar. I don't know how sensitive your body is to carbs, but…

You count 5 grams of Digestible carbs because Dreamsfield is made using a non-digestible fiber called inulin. Since inulin can not be digested, you don't count those carbs, only the 5 grams of carbs has an impact on your blood sugar, which should not impact it much at all. Hope that helps. I have never heard of Fiber…

To each his own, I guess. I was only trying to help. I shop at my Neighborhood Coop, the farmer down the road from me and another farmer down the road in the opposite direction...........Saturday morning farmers market.

High Fructose Corn Syrup if BAD, BAD, BAD for you, even in the smallest amounts..............It is not that far down on the list, so there is a LOT of it in the cereal. Food manufacturers use that stuff because it is cheap, but it is poison.............. You all can eat what you want, I just think a website that is geared…

I can not in GOOD conscious encourage someone to eat something that contains something as bad as HFCS. I am sorry, there is nothing good about it. So, in essence, by not label reading on your own, you are falling victim to the food manufacturers and saying it is ok to poison me.............Go ahead and keep doing it…

I eat coconut oil, use it for cooking eggs and veggies................It is considered to be the healthiest fat on earth. I also use coconut oil to cleanse my face and moisturize my face and body.

Your hubby is healthier for the sunflower seeds..................I am sorry, there is nothing good about HFCS. Read about the dangers of HFCS................... http://www.westonaprice.org/modernfood/highfructose.html http://healthmad.com/nutrition/dangers-of-high-fructose-corn-syrup/…

What the government is trying to cover up, is.............It isn't how much we eat, but WHAT we are eating......... I can eat 2000 calories a day of protein and fat and drop 3-4 pounds a week. And be a lot healthier for it.............. I can eat a 1000 calories of what they call the food pyramid, chock full of processed…

OOOOOOOOOOOOPS!!!!!! I forgot to post the link!!! http://www.forbes.com/2009/05/15/healthy-foods-eating-lifestyle-health-healthy-foods.html

I use Jay Robb protein and I have one every morning along with green veggies and fruit blended up in it for a green smoothie. That is my breakfast during the week.

No, I no longer eat commercially made cereal. Anything that is defatted and has to be fortified with vitamins and minerals is not nutritious and does not go into my mouth............. here are the ingredients................They say Special K is so nutritious........Why do they put High Fructose Corn Syrup in it????? HFCS…

I wonder why they are doing that?

I am not weighing in this week...............TOM is here and it is BAD!!!! I have been going to a naturopathic Doctor and he has me on amino acids and natural chemicals that your body makes to make my body work like normal. I am on an appetite suppressent and an endocrine support............. I am finally having monthly…
