big FAT bump (for later).

I've tried the Atkins diet before, but giving up the "ultimate carb" (i.e. the kind that comes in 12 ounce cans) has been the hardest part! Invent a low-carb BEER and we'll all be happy and slim !:-)

"Invent a low carb BEER and we will all be happy and slim..."

Michelob Ultra has 2.9 carbs in 12 ounces and has been made and marketed specifically for the growing low carb market.

Incidently...I lost 100 pounds and have kept it off for over 4 years on a low carb diet. This was after 20 years of nearly low fat dieting myself to death. If you know the statistics, you now that well over 90 percent of overweight people will never lose the weight and of those who do over 90 percent will gain it back. I - and now 7 others among my closest family and friends - are beating those odds.

I was scared to death to try this diet because everyone said it would kill me. But it was the only one I had not tried and I figured a 3 month trial could not make things any worse. I have never looked back.

From dangerously high cholesterol and blood pressure to excellent checkups (without medication)time after time. My doctor was horrified when I started and is now a believer. He now recommends this way of eating to his patients not only for weight loss, but because it is good for them as well.

If those of us who are eating this way are quick to defend it, it is because our lives have literally been saved and changed enormously for the better by it and we are frustrated by the incredible resistance by others to even consider that conventional wisdom on this subject could be wrong.

As in the article above, people are beginning to question why low fat dieting is failing us. I urge all of you to keep an open mind. You will continue to hear more and more about this and, as usual, you heard it HERE first.:)

I know lots and lots of low carbers who drink beer and wine!
