I started LCing in June after reading the
2002 Atkins Diet Revolution book. Before that, I had lost weight low-cal,
low-fat,
you name it, it was low (along with my enthusiasm). I used to post on asd
and occasionally lurk here a few years ago. Reading the posts, I found the
people here very knowledgeable, although I was still doubtful. "I'd never
eat *that
way*", I told myself. But I kept on reading.
Later on, I quit reading the diet ngs, gained weight back, and put that part
on my life on the back burner. Then for some inexplicable reason, I picked
up the
Atkins book. It totally debunked everything I ever thought about low carb.
I mean, I got it. It wasn't about "all meat, all the time".
So, whatever LC plan someone is doing, read the corresponding book. It does
make a difference. Well, at least it did with me. Now what helps me is
reading about living LC in the real life here.
