thanks for the ping

I have a classic pear shape... it comes from both sides of my family. I'd like to look like J.Lo that's as realistic in weight loss as I can get. The low carb diet is my only option with the kind of food my family eats. Plus I don't do Atkins full on, I really like protein power which to me is a knock off of Atkins. I didn't bother picking up South Beach, I know it's a Atkins rip off.

How much pasta does the Carbonara recipe take?

[WVNan]

((((CARLO)))))...you were reading my mind. Hubby has just yesterday gone on the Adkins diet per his doctor's orders. Now I'm struggling with what to fix for him to eat aside from meat, meat and more meat...yuk. I can't imagine life without bread (pastries, fruit, POTATOES!). It's his diet and I refuse to partake of it. Is this a new book you are writing?
