dietary question

Cut down on processed foods, ie. foods in a box or package
that are quick and easy to prepare. They are full of empty
calories and high in carbohydrates. Eat whole foods, meats
and vegetables and cut down on sugars. Keep up the exercise.

Don't look at weight alone as a determining factor of
whether you are overweight or not. Muscle weighs more than
fat so look at your shape and tone rather than the number on
the scale.

Some weight problems are caused by internal health problems
while most are caused by external problems, like overeating,
eating junk, and drinking sodas.

Atkins has it right. The science proves it. But people who
take his approach to the extreme are just as bad as those
who follow the couch potato diet.

The posts trashing Atkins in this group are full of
misinformation, using emotion and fear to bolster their
misinformed arguments. If you want some science backed info
about carbohydrate intake and weight gain send me an email
and I'll gladly share it with you.

Doug, Thanks for replying to my post and offering the
information. I appreciate it. Is there a good online
resource that will help guide me on whole foods to eat? I
hate to say, but I'm really not knowledgeable at all about
what constitutes whole foods or the proper foods to look
for? Perhaps something that would be a good starting out
guide of things to eat, meal plans? Anything of the sort?
Thanks again for your help! -D-
