| (Please let us know if any of the links here become obsolete! We'll change them. Thanks! Maggie) I am going to try to keep this as an INFORMATION ONLY thread. You may add to this thread, but try to keep it Induction/Newbies info, and post questions as a separted thread. Thanks, Terese -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Topic: Just starting? check out some of these links Newbies Guide from this site: LCE Beginners Guide Atkins' Acceptable Foods from the Atkins Center Site http://www.atkins.com/articles/atkin...ceptable-foods a few others; This takes a long time to load..... so give it time. It will list foods as to their glycemic index http://www.mendosa.com/gilists.htm "The Glycemic Index (G.I.) is a numerical system of measuring how fast a carbohydrate triggers a rise in circulating blood sugar -- the higher the number, the greater the blood sugar response. So a low G.I. food will cause a small rise, while a high G.I. food will trigger a dramatic spike." here is another Glycemic site http://www.glycemicindex.com USDA Nutritional Values site: http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/cgi-bin/nut_search.pl Book mark it... you will use it often it's great for carb counts, amongst other values Protein Power's Protein Calculator: http://www.proteinpower.com/faq/protein.html#calculate Here are a couple of sites for fast food and chain restaurants in N America and the UK. Dietfacts and FastFood info Here are two for vegetarians (i've been asked for them a few times) but I guess this would be a good thread to post all our fave recipe site on. http://www.consultclarity.com/recipes http://www.immuneweb.org/lowcarb/products.html -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Topic: Body Fat Calculators this one I really like and have found it to be pretty accurate, you will need a tape measure http://www.biofitness.com/abodyfat.html another one that's not bad... I found it accurate too http://www.healthcentral.com/cooltoo...s/bodyfat1.cfm {those last 2 gave me the same reading for LMB and BF%} a site with info, http://www.healthchecksystems.com/bodyfat.htm Also, Don't forget to check out all the great info on this site regarding Just starting the Low Carb way of life http://www.chowbaby.com/10_2000/fast..._nutrition.asp This site is awesome for your popular food chains when counting your carbs....I love the starbucks info http://www.calorieking.com/foods/cat...unt=137&page=5 I love this site for carb calculations at fast food restaurants. __________________________________________ Common Acronyms: ADA - American Dietetic Association AMA - American Medical Association or "against medical advice" AS - Artificial Sweetener ASAP - As soon as possible BF - Body Fat or Best Friend or Boy Friend BFL - Body for LIFE BG - Blood Glucose BIL - brother in law BMI - Body Mass Index BMR - Base Metabolic Rate BTW - By the way CAD - Carbohydrate Addicts Diet CALP - Carbohydrate Addict Lifespan Program CCLM: critical carbohydrate level for maintaining CCL: Critical Carb Level CHO - Carbohydrate DANDR - (the book) Dr Atkins' New Diet Revolution DD - Dear Daughter DH - Dear Husband DIL - daughter-in-law DM1 - (insulin-dependent) DM2 - Diabetus Mellitus, type II (Diabetes, Type 2 -- non-insulin dependent) DS - Dear Son DW - Dear Wife FIL - father-in-law HFS - Health Food Store HG - Hunter Gatherer HIT - Hang in There HTH - Hope this helps HRT - Homone Replacement Therapy IBS...irritable bowel syndrowme IDD - Insulin Depedent Diabetes IR - Insulin Resistance IIRC - if i recall correctly IMHO - in my humble opinion JMHO - just my humble opinion KISS - Keep It Simple, Sweetie LBM - Lean Body Mass LCE - Low Carb Eating or LowCarbEating.com (this site) LC - Low Carbohydrate LCWOE - Low Carb way of eating LOL - Laughing Out Loud MIL - mother-in-law NIDDM - Non-Insulin Depedent Diabedes Type II NT - Neander Thin - the book OMG - oh my god OT - Off Topic OWL - ongoing weight loss PCOS - Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome PCOD - Polycystic Ovarian Disease PP: Protein Power PPLP - Protein Power Life Plan ROFL - Rolling on the Floor Laughing ROFLMAO - Rolling on the Floor Laughing My *** Off RM - Reward Meal (for the CAD/CALP woe) SAD - Standard American Diet SAD/SADD - Seasonally affected depression "...depressive disorder" SAHM - Stay At Home Mom S/F - Sugar Free SIL - son-in-law or sister in law SO - Significant Other TOM - time of the month TTYL = Talk to you later USDA - U.S. Department of Agriculture WOE - Way of Eating WOL - Way of Life WTG - way to go YMMV - your mileage may vary Feel free to add more.....
