Thanks

And I think exercise is one of the most important things.

I found a Breyer's ice cream tonight named "Carb Smart". We have been on the Atkins diet for 6 months and have never felt better.

I have been making a low carb custard to compliment the berries we eat, but this ice cream will do......

BUMP

Oh great, I am going to look for it.

I did find that too much dairy stuff slows weight loss.

Hey, eat and drink whatever the heck you want, enjoy yourself, and take the consequences! If you don't react to excess carbs, knock yourself out!

All I'm saying is that *I* just can't do it anymore, many other people can't do it either, and there are good reasons why we are that way.

Well, I have recently started eating low carb -- and cut out orange juice -- and for the first time in years, I am sick as a dog. I can't stop coughing, I have been sneezing, I have a headache, and I am tired and weak all the time.

Consequently, I think I will return to drinking a lot of orange juice, because when I did, I was never sick like I am now.

Every time I hear the Atkin's zealots pontificate I am reminded of the unforseen results of Steve Martin's invention in 'The Jerk'...
