Low Carb Help
Low Carb Help Topics
If you want to learn about low-carb diets (e.g. the Atkins Diet, Protein Power Diet, South Beach Diet, or other low carb plans), this is a great place to start. The most important tip we can give you is this: no one diet works for every "body." In fact, we've come to believe that no one diet works for any one "body" at every stage of life. You'll fine-tune your eating plan as you learn what works for you and what doesn't. We want to help.
The route to success with low carb dieting (or any weightloss program) is to understand that you are making permanent lifestyle changes—not simply going through the motions "until you lose the weight." So stop thinking "diet" and start finding your Low Carb Zen, baby!
Fat Baggage - Is Yours Packed?

How do other people's comments affect you on your own journey, anyway? If you've spent a good part of your life overweight, I'd be willing to bet it's more than you may think. Even if you've lost all or most of the weight, you may still carry the sensitivity on all things weight-related with you.
That's what I call Fat Baggage.
When "I Can't" Becomes "I Don't"
Submitted by Maggie on Wed, 12/31/2003 - 06:00.
I made a statement in one of the discussions the other day, without realizing that it described a fairly significant milestone in this way of eating. What I said was that when you find yourself saying ' I don't eat that', instead of 'I can't eat that', you're there. You've attained some kind of low carb zen. Since most of you have known me only since I've been in maintenance, I want you to know that my first steps on this journey were much rockier than you might have guessed.

My story starts in May of 1999. After years of eating low fat everything, my doctor, who is also a personal friend, threatened to put me on medication to lower my blood pressure and cholestorol. I weighed 290 lbs - I'm a 6'1" male.
