Don't fall off the boat, Cath. Actually, I hate veggies. Another problem. Yup. After about three months I was ready to kill for just one single cheeto. And the Atkins chocolate bars only vaguely began to taste good after about four months. The Carb Solutions bars tasted better, but I heard they actually had more carb in them then their label said. Right now I am enjoying a nice hot cup of Swiss Miss before bed time on this cold evening. Mmmmmmm, good!
It is ok if I fall off the boat.....I heard swimming is good for you too I am a champion dieter, I have been doing it for 40 years! Sometimes I am tempted to have one of those operations, but then I read about all the side effects. Has anyone had surgery for weight loss? Are you happy with it?
I caught the Phil Donahue show a week or so ago which had Dean Ornish & a Atkins representative on. They both agreed that eliminating carbs would make you loose weight but that is about all they agreed on. Overall Dean Ornish made more sense.

on the "after hours" show with Maria B last evening...very good advice, IMHO....he talked about lifestyle changes to reverse heart disease and the emotional aspects of why people overeat. Trying to cut down on the sugar in my chai recipes..splenda just does not taste the same...
