LC?

What you are eating sounds right on. I know a lot of people who just cut
out the carby stuff and lose weight and feel better. The correct approach
is the one that works for you. That means it helps you lose weight if that
is one of your goals, it reduces your hunger, makes you feel better and is
comfortable for you to maintain.

And why would you want to roll your own, rather than follow the Atkins
plan, which is quite simple and effective? Sounds like what you are
on is the induction phase of Atkins anyway.

Can you identify why you "don't want to completely go on Atkins"? Dr
Atkins actually created a quite good and healthy program that has
allowed many people to do remarkably well. While many people like to
include Atkins bars and shakes, the plan actually calls for a healthy
mixture of protein foods, fats and non-starchy or sugary vegetables
and salads. A lot of us, me included, have had success without ever
touching an Atkins-branded product except the book.

I suggest, if you haven't already done so, READ the Atkins book. Not
a 2-page Women's Magazine overview. Not your best friend's cousin's
brother-in-law's precis of it but Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution.
Paperbacks are readily available in many bookstores, or even at the
local library. If you like, there are other plans out there that are
LC which don't have the Atkins name on them. Try Protein Power by Drs
Michael and Mary Dan Eades. Try the South Beach diet, which claims
not to be LC but ends up that way anyway. Dana Carpender's How I Gave
Up My Low-Fat Diet (and lost 40 pounds) gives an excellent overview of
many LC plans out there - I highly recommend this one if you can only
afford one book.

Reading the basics from the source(s) is one of the best tools you can
give yourself in your LC way of life.

Best of luck.

I think you don't actually know what the Atkins diet is. You have just heard
rumors and snippets from people who don't know. Before dismissing it, study
it!

you could check out the book "Atkins for Life" in it, they specifically
mention people who dont need to lose a lot of weight, and how to low-carb
for life, it gave some really good info.....

I guess that I'll get the Atkins book ,or at least I'll look it over.
I'm not sure how much carbs are allowed after I get away from induction?
Anyways, I NEED to get away from carbs as my cravings are UNDER CONTROL

I can only speak to Atkins. In a nutshell: for the first two weeks
(known as "Induction"😉 you limit carbs to 20 per day, which should
mostly be in the form of vegetables. After two weeks (which is more to
give your body time to adjust to burning fat rather than burning
glycogen for fuel, not to mention dump excess water weight associated
with the accumulated glycogen store) add 5 more carbs per day for a
week. Each week, add back 5 carbs per day for a week at a time until
you stop losing weight. Then back down by 5 carbs. That's it. Some
carbs are not allowed during the first two weeks (such as nuts), but can
be added back in after that as long as they fall within your daily carb
budget. See http://www.atkins.com for a list of allowable foods. See
other websites for rules regarding other low-carb diets.

Depends. I'd suggest you pick up a book or two on the subject and
start reading ASAP. Until you can finish reading one of the books and
figure it out, keep your carbs under 30g or so/day and stick mainly to
whole foods like meat/fowl/seafood, eggs, veg, salads. Avoid meal
replacement shakes or bars, LC convenience foods in general, sugar
free candy, etc. Read labels.

I don't mean to imply that LC can't be done without following a
specific plan (I don't anymore), but one reason why folks keep
recommending that you get a book and read it is so you'll develop the
knowledge base to make informed decisions for yourself.

If you're leaning towards a more moderate approach, I recommend
reading either Protein Power or South Beach Diet (or both).

Thanks for the info , to those who GAVE me advice rather than sarcasm.

I really think that some of you should STOP to think BEFORE you speak.
This group is NOT what I need.(except for the decent answers) BYE !!!

Is there any way that the door COULD miss your behind?
