The Seattle Times,Nov 6th published an article that convinced me to try low-carb. The article titled,"In brief study,Atkins diet adherents lose more,their average loss is 18.5 pounds". The basis of the article is a study which enrolled 53 women, ages 31 to 59,for six months. Half followed a low fat approach, eating 30% of calories from fat.The other half ate the diet populized by Atkins. Those in the Atkins group shed on average 18.5 pounds, about 10 of it from body fat.(The rest was water and lean muscle)By comparison, the low fat group lost about 9 pounds,about 5 from body fat.This backs up the Veterans Administrtion Low Carbohydrate Study which was presented a year ago.End of article. I would like to add a book by Michael Eades,"The Low Carb Comfort Food Cookbook",I think it has some good recipies, some of the ingredient's you will have to go to a health food store or natural foods type store to purchase. I bought it through buy.com about 2 months ago, and paid a lower price and no shipping. I have lost 10 pounds and my craving for sugar and wheat.

I wanted to mention the study I refer to in my post,paraphased from the Seattle Times article, was from a report released at the annual meeting of the American Dieteics Association.In addition I wanted to thankyou chilepepper for your lesson in physics!
