AMERICA - The Right Way!! (Day 740) [Remember the Trade Center!!]
Various News Sources and FReepers | January 30, 2003 | All of Us

Posted on 01/30/2003 4:28:36 AM PST by Chairman_December_19th_Society

We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail!

Good morning!! Do not let the victims of the attacks on New York and Washington, nor the brave members of our Nation's military who have given their lives to protect our freedom, die in vain!!

This is a quick start this morning as I am getting ready to head on over to CPAC, but I will leave you with this thought - Fox News Channel had, for the State of the Union Address, the highest ratings in the network's history.

For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.

And if you've got a sweet tooth at all, sugar-free jello and whipped cream is a delicious dessert and very low in carbs.

Attention ATRW: We return this thread to its regularly scheduled discussion We apologize for this Atkins interruption.

A word about cholesterol. My overall number stayed about the same, but my HDL went up significantly so the ratio went from about 5.5 to 1 in teh beginning down to 3 to 1 or less at the end. That 199 may not change much, but it's getting less concern than it used to if it does hover around 200 or slightly more.

Daughter #3 woke up from a nap a while ago and had to drive the big white schoolbus. Her fever was back too so she was miserable, but I've got her drugged up again and she's perkier.

Just had to get in on this discussion of the Atkins diet...

I started on it, after reading the paperback book, the week before Christmas. Not a good time to start, but it worked. I have lost about 7 lbs (that's all I can afford to lose) but feel wonderful. I have not had any blood work done but plan to do that in February sometime. I am looking for the tri-glycerides to go down and hi-lipids to go up. My BP yesterday was 128/68 (without BP meds).

The tough things for me were giving up the sugary things and breakfast cereals (lots of carbs and sugars).

BUT... in all this, I've learned to cook!!!

Learned to boil water first, then put an egg in it for a few minutes, then learned to put an egg in a cup and let it poach. Actually tried frying eggs... turned the heat up too high at first, took a couple of tries on the electric stove but it seems to work well with the dial between "2.5" and "3". Have no idea if those numbers relate to temps on the stove tops.

Breakfast this morning was 2 fried eggs, 4 strips of center cut bacon. Yesterday I had steak with the eggs. I use cheese for snacks. (Snacks are not permitted but I eat about an ounce every 4 hours between my meals).

I have found that during the induction phase, when I used the ketosis strips, my ketosis level never got higher than "small" (meaning the strip did not turn very dark).

Have also found that I can't get much above the 20 carbs a day before I go out of ketosis entirely. Eating a salad (about 2 cups) at lunch puts me out of ketosis.

The only questions I have about the plan deal with this idea of continuous eating on only about 30 carbs a day. I spoke to one MD who does not agree with the plan at all. Thinks Dr Atkins is crazy and will one day be sued by third parties whose family members have died as a result of the diet.

My main purpose in doing the diet was to get off my BP meds and get my blood work in better shape. When I have the blood work done next month I'll know the results of about 60 days on the diet. Not sure that is long enough to prove anything but I'll try it.

Ham and eggs for brekfast sounds great. On the week-days I'll need to get up earlier that usual to make breakfast. We are committed to losing weight and eating healthier, so we'll keep you posted! your marvelous success and others here on ATRW is an inspiration!

Good for you, ong.

I will try to find the study put out by Duke University giving Dr. Atkins much credit. Check back in a while if you can.

ong, that is just excellent! My husband has never gone thru that induction phase either, just managed to lose weight slowly and gradually, but enough to keep him going.

After 2 months on it, his lab results were excellent! I'll look them up and get back to you in a few min.

He did hit a plateau for awhile, but has finally moved below that point.

His endocrinologist is sceptical, but can't really argue with the test results - the best in 10 years of taking meds. The dr. took him off tricor, but kept him on a small dose of bp Rx.

I just spoke to The Coopster by phone. He is trying to get DSL installed at his house, and it has been a mess, consequently he has not been on line for a few days.

He wants me to let you know that all the guys arrived safe and sound from Mexico. No family members injured, everyone ok, and he is very grateful for the prayers and kind thoughts.

This was the report:

HDL; 59
LDL: 98
Trigl.: 86
BP: 104/60

It had been years since these readings were so good.

Sounds like you have fairly high-resistance to ketosis, ONG. I never did get those ketosis strips so can't be sure, but I think I got into ketosis fairly easily. Perhaps not so easily this time as my starting weight was about 20-25 lbs less than last time.

I have improved my skill at making omelets on this diet. I make some pretty darned good 3-egg omelets, stuffed with all kinds of good things: olives, onions, mushrooms, sausage, cheese, etc.

I am not too worried about Atkins getting sued. He's been at it for about 40 years and if it hasn't happened yet, I really don't think it will. Frivolous lawsuits, of course, happen all the time. But I think he'd stand up in court pretty well to any charges.

BP: 104/60

Molly... I wonder what the reasoning was for keeping Mr MP on a small BP Rx with readings like this? Perhaps he is skeptical and wants to protect himself???

Good news about the guys from Mexico. Please pass on my greetings to the Coopster. Hopefully his DSL will be worth the wait and hassle he's had to put up with.

Just talked to my sis. She has Dish Network, but my parents, next door, have Direct TV. She gets FNC, but don't know how much she watches it as her husband can't stand it.

I just mentioned this deal to my 10-year-old. She doesn't seem interested in it and said we'd end up watching too much TV. Good for her, I think.
