I had a friend who saw me and was amazed at the 38 pounds I have lost since starting Low carbing jan 7th. When I told her how I had accomplished it she kinda frowned. She said Oh I tried that low carb diet and it didnt work for me the food wasnt good , and when you go back to eating regular food you will just gain it back.RRRRGGGHH I was aggravated for a min then I just turned to her and said. This is not a Low carb diet, this is a life change. I proceeded to tell her I do eat regular food and love it. I told her some of the things I eat and some of the recipes I use....She looked at me in amazement and said I had no idea you could eat stuff like that!!!!! She said I just ate meat and cheese, and eggs when I tried it!!!! I had to laugh.....It just amazes me that this is the mindset of alot of Low carb doubters...The dont take the time to actually read thru the plans and realize this does work and we do eat what they call regular food.......As i sit down last night to my dinner of Grilled steak with mushrooms and peppers, Asaparagas and yummy califower ( faux pot) and dessert was a piece of low carb fudge.......I just laughed and thought about her sitting in front of her Lean Cuisene tiny little dinner.......Lovin the Low carb way of life.......it is here to stay in my book......

You are so right, Margaret. It's easy for someone to "knock" low carb programs when they actually have no clue about this way of eating.

Congratulations on your wonderful progress!
