last night-hubby & I had maine lobster(1 each) butter/lemon dip & a toossed bibb lettuce salad with balsamic vinegar & olive oil. Dessert-decaf & heavy cream and atkins choco vanilla ice cream YUMoh and re wine-3 glasses each. Mega YUM

We went to Denny's last week for lunch and ordered the mushroom-swiss cheese burger-we put the buns & fries in a takeout box to bring home to our 7 dogs(don't ask)-I swear by all that is holy-we could NOT believe how HEAVY that doogie bag was. Try it next time you go out-and KNOW that normally all the SH$$ would have been in YOUR body. Without a bun...damn right..it is called steak tartare.

I love low carb eating. Last night's meal was a large chicken breast topped with mushrooms sauteed in butter and wine. We also had a delicious spinach salad (with real bacon bits and bleu cheese) and steamed broccoli. Dessert was a homemade cheesecake topped with blueberries and real whipped cream. Quite frankly, there are so many wonderful and satisfying things I can eat, I don't miss the 'bun and the fries'.

My husband and I are permanent converts to low carb eating. I lost 100 pounds and have kept it off for going on five years now. This was after nearly 20 years of failure on low fat diets. I have literally been given my health and my life back. And yes, my bloodwork and blood pressure have returned and STAYED at better than normal values. My migraines and acid reflux are gone, I have great energy and my moodiness is gone. Life is good.

I hope those of you reading this thread will keep an open mind concerning the benefits of reducing carbohydrates in the diet. You will continue to hear more about this. If you are interested in the science behind it, I recommend reading "Protein Power" or "The Protein Power Life Plan" by Dr. Michael and Dr. Mary Eades - a husband and wife physician team.
