* RECIPE FOR FOREVER *

Gather all of the ingredients together, so that they are close at hand!
Get a clean cloth and wipe the bowl clean of any lingering *dust* from the past.
Take MATURITY, RESPECT, and FRIENDSHIP, and stir gently.
Add unlimited amounts of COMPASSION and KINDNESS,
And mix well.
To this, add CARING by the handfuls, and fold in TRUST.
Continue stirring gently, adding LISTENING,
HONESTY, and large amounts of COMMUNICATION.
Slip in some DREAMS, GOALS,
And firm pieces of KEEPING PROMISES.

Bake in a home filled with PEACE, BEAUTY, and SERENITY.
Before you taste the finished product,
sprinkle liberally with PATIENCE, LOVE, and a touch of SPICE.
Serve very hot, with IMAGINATION on the side.

Thanks, thanks, thanks.. All kidding aside this is just terrible.. and should be understood by anyone suspected of this condition.

178-"Also can't handle the thought of giving up vegetables. What's your method, if you don't mind me asking."

a good way to start is to keep eating non-starchy fruits and vegetables, and quit the starch - pasta, potatoes, bread, corn, carrots etc.

green beans, spinach, broccili, cabbage, salad, eat all you want

[XBob]

sorry for the multiple post - my FR server is acting up

[jellybean]

Your perceptions of the Atkin's plan are totally off base. It is not unlimited amounts of protein and fat with no fruits or vegetables allowed. During the most restrictive part of the plan--the induction phase, which lasts a minimum of two weeks--you're allowed 3 cups of salad vegetables or 2 cups of salad plus one cup of low carb, non-starchy vegetables (brocolli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, etc...) per day. Fruit is restricted during this phase, but can be included in limited quantities during later phases.

Check out Dr. Peter Gott's no sugar, no flour diet and see if that is more suitable to your tastes and life style.

Sucralose (brand name: Splenda) is NOT aspartame and is the recommended sweetener on the Atkins website. Click HERE.

No .. it is not .. it is chlorinated sugar, I believe. Aspartame/Equal/Nutrasweet is a different chemical -- with documented neurotoxic effects. Splenda is what made me sick -- within 20 minutes of intake of a lowcarb shake I got at my Wal-Mart Supercenter.

I'm sorry that you have an allergy to it -- I've been ingesting it in a variety of foods for the last 4 months with no discernable effects.

Except for the loss of about 50 pounds.

And what's Kohlrabi?

Kohlrabi is a vegetable in the cabbage family. It looks like a turnip but grows above the ground. If you have ever eaten the core of a cabbage you will like Kohlrabi...

I believe I did post it on one of the cookbook threads eons ago geesh...I feel so old! It's hard to believe this clasic isn't more widely distributed. There's so much truth and good advice in that short little recipe. It also contains no fat, no carbs, the ingredients are free and the supply is unlimited.

[Oorang]

Thanks. I was obviously under the wrong impression. I'll read Atkins book and check out the link. Sounds quite do-able with the daily allotment of veges. I'm not a vegetarian. I raise my own beef steers and chickens. I just love my veges. Will do some reading and read some of Carlo's previous threads.
