Crusty bread, stinky cheese(white ten year old cheddar), and Bully Hill red wines are proof that cows can live a long and happy life without facing someone at the end of a fork.

That is except when I feel like a good New York Sirloin or a tender ribeye cooked au piorve as thick as a brick and medium rare. Then I omit the cheese out of respect for the sacrificial beast I'm masticating.

Well, you're right about the crusty bread. But cheese (the stinkier the better) and filet mignon are perfectly allowable on a low carb diet. And I'm not talking about Atkins; I did this to combat low blood sugar years before Atkins was known. I think you had some bad information. It's simple: very low on the bread, desserts, potatoes, some fruit (canteloupe and papaya are great) and very high on the proteins. Then just count how many carbs per day. Easy. I did miss the high carb fruits, but not that much.
