• If it works for you -- Lori, 13:11:56 08/15/02 Thu
  • Thanks Lori. I also have over 100 lbs to lose, so I want to do something I can live with and feel good on. If I lose 2 lbs a week that will be wonderful. Lost 60 on low fat a while back, practically starving to death. So, this will be great, to lose and still eat real food... (NT) -- Elizabeth, 15:46:42 08/15/02 Thu

• If it works for you (and you lose!), great going. But did you really give low carb a fair chance? Almost everyone feels a little queasy at first on low carbs until their body adjusts back from all the over-abundance of carbs. Then all becomes great. Low carb has been our natural nutritional system for hundreds of thousands of years. Most doctors know very little about nutritian and usually parrot the "low-fat" myth.

  • 50 carbs a day is pretty low, especially for some one who was eating low fat 'junk' Maybe you could move to fewer carbs if and when you stall out. (NT) -- Lynne, 15:32:21 08/15/02 Thu

• When I ate 20 carbs per day or less, I was fatigued easily, grouchy, moody (well I'm still that lol), and I stalled over and over. I now follow a plan that is kind of a combination of Schwarzbien Principle and Protein Power, but not everything is as natural as Dr. Schwarzbien recommends & I don't pay much attention to the technicalities of Protein Power. I have no more than 40-50g carbs per day, and about 120g protein. I happily lose 1-2lbs each & every week. I no longer have fatigue and irritability like I used to either. Good luck!

  • Thanks Kel, I so much needed to hear and know that I'm on the right track. I feel terrible when I do 20 or less also. I will be very happy to lose 2 lbs a week. Thanks! (NT) -- Elizabeth, 07:27:14 08/16/02 Fri
    • You are most welcome Elizabeth. I am convinced my new diet (with moderate-low carbs), has made me so much stronger, alert and has enhanced my weight loss. Anything you want to talk about, you may ask anytime. I've included my email on this one for ya. (NT) -- Kel, 08:35:17 08/16/02 Fri

• Protein grams -- Janet, 19:48:21 08/15/02 Thu
  • My doctor is a local doctor here, who has come up with this diet & I have had a good amount of success with it. If you get the book, "Food Counts" by Corrine Netzer, it lists all foods with their carbs, protein grams, fiber, fat, sodium, and calories. I only count carbs, protein & I try to keep my eye on the calories too. (NT) -- Kel, 04:36:32 08/16/02 Fri
    • Protein, fiber and calories -- Wendy Kanhai, 19:08:48 03/23/06 Thu
  • There's a formula to figure how much protein you need in the Protein Power Plan book. (NT) -- Elizabeth, 07:22:12 08/16/02 Fri
