Yes I can. In fact, I'm having a glass of Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout right now. As I said, I allow myself up to 100g of carb a day. Since I don't eat any processed foods or refined flour and sugar, I have a lot of leeway. I usually have a cup of natural yogurt (23g of carb) and a couple of beers a day with plenty left over (most beers have about 10-13g of carb per bottle). The rest of the carbs come from the vegetables and berries that I eat.

Great (love oatmeal stout myself, but nothing can compare with Chimay Blue). You have not told us, however, what the diet is, if not Atkins.

I have been leaning towards "Power of 10" which is based on weight lifting (slow motion), low carb (lots of water), and rest.

Can you recommend a book/plan?

I eat pretty much meat & cheese & protien supplements & I drink all the alcohol I can stand & I still lose weight

Of course I am fairly active

Great post...it put a smile on my face. My friend Walt and I have been doing the same "normal carb" diet for about a year now. We have both stabilized our weight, and feel alot healthier. In addition, we have noticed that our mental agility has improved noticeably. Have you noticed the same thing?
