I'd like to put up a small warning. Not about the diet. I've been on it since February and have lost 39.5 pounds and a whole bunch of sizes.

Here's my warning...

Alot of the low carb products have sugar alcohol in it. While in most people, sugar alcohol has no effect on them, on some (me, darn it) sugar alcohol does stop weight loss.

Even though the Atkins breakfast bars do not have sugar alcohol in it, one of the chief complaints on the atkins message board is that they stop weight loss.

My friend has lost 34.5 pounds and she can eat the candy bars and the breakfast bars and all the bars and it doesn't affect her.

Dan, it doesn't sound like it effects you either. I hate you because of that :)

If you want ice cream, Splendor puts out great ice creams also. Just watch the sugar alcohol.

One more warning... sugar alcohol can act like a laxative since manitol (I know I didn't spell it correctly) (manitol is another form of sugar alcohol) is the main ingredient in baby laxative.

Good fortune on your diet.

Dan, keep up the good work. I totally agree with you. This stopped being a diet for me and became a way of life because I feel great.

D'oh! So many hate me for my good looks! NOT!

I don't know, maybe it's slowing me down. But I figure, I'm losing, I'm happy, thank God and don't mess with it.

Dan
