Are you doing Atkins? Rosie and Jen are doing S. Beach, but I think ecurb, BibChr and I are the only ones doing Atkins. I'm just counting my carbs, which really isn't doing Atkins, because you're supposed to re-introduce items slowly...but Steve is doing it right...he's just now started the 5g more per week fruit rung...he can have blueberries now.

I think Jen is doing Atkins, too. I'm the only one doing the SBD.

Reducing refined carbs = same difference. I'm avoiding soy and low-carb "products" this time around. Just plain ol' whole foods. It's cheaper that way, too.

The problem is that I am such a sugar addict. :(

Wife and I have been talking about doing Atkins together. I can keep up with the diet I was on last year, cause I know the routine. But I told her if she'd do the planning, I'll go along.

'Course Atkins does make me a bit Elrondish...

Are you doing Atkins?

I was last summer and fall, but not so much any more. It did change the way I think about food, though. So I (mostly) don't eat white bread, white rice, pasta, or sugar.

Hair and I didn't like the "Low-Carb" breads they had at the grocery store, so I just go with a regular whole-grain bread with lots of nuts and seeds in it. And I avoid sugar as much as possible... use a creamer made with Splenda in my coffee, for example.

So we try to focus more on whole foods... meat, eggs, fresh fruit and veggies. We do lots of salads.

My main weakness is tortilla chips - gotta have my chips and salsa!
