Just curious, do you think they zapped the post because I was mean to you or because of the "side-swipe" at the forum?

If it was because I insulted you, you essentially restated the insults in your retort.

BTW, this whole exchange is hyperbolic, you realize that, don't you?

My local library has a book called "Low Carb Meals In Minutes" by Linda Gassenheimer that looked interesting.
You may want to check the shelves of your local library for their cookbooks - try before you buy! Just go to the online catalog and under Subject type in:
'low carbohydrate diet recipes'.

You're an inspiration, Maven, and you figured large (NO pun intended! < g >) in helping me get going and find my footing in Atkins. I'm sure I'm not alone in that. You hang in there.

Thanks, Dan - that's so sweet! But I'm doing fine - back on track and feeling great again.

January will be six years of low carb for me, and I've found it to be a bit of a cake walk - three steps forward and one step back. But, the constant trend has been downward, and the "back steps" get shorter and shorter.

So, life is good!

Don't feel sorry for her. She's 5'7, 125 pounds. She's never had a weight problem.

I didn't say I felt sorry for your wife because of her size. I said I felt sorry for her for working with such unenlightened people.

There are a couple of other things I feel sorry for her about, but no need to get into them....

Rest assured, however, that they have nothing to do with her size, height, shape, weight, hair color or taste in clothes.

I've not seen the Russell Stover low carb candy, but will make it a point to look for it. Thanks!!

Well, here are my numbers, 1 June 2003 - 5'8", 233 lbs, maintaining, on Veterans Administration high carb diet, and 1200 calories per day. No weight loss, and constantly sick and hungry.

Start Adkins diet. No change in exercise.

15 September, 192 lbs. and losing, on Adkins diet, and 1800 calories per day, and drinking hi-protein low carb shakes, lots of meat, bacon, and chease, never hungry, feel much better, much more energy, joints stop hurting.

You figure it out - there is my personal anecdotal evidence, you and your sister and her doctors and the VA doctors can take youall's diets and calories=calories and stuff them.

I just tried some Thomas Carb Counting bagels. They have 18 net carbs per whole bagel. I don't know if that is actually good or bad, but I think they are tastier than the normal kind.

For bagels, 18 net carbs is pretty good! (But that says a lot about how sinful bagels are to begin with.) I'll have to look out for those. I do miss a good toasted bagel with cream cheese.

Would it have helped if I had called it the "Queen of Hearts" diet plan?

MUST you punctuate my self deprecating humor by pointing out my speling errors?!
