Quote: As soon as I walked in the door last night my roommate told me she had coupons for a meal deal and was picking it up. I told her I don't want it. She was pouty for a few hours but got over it and took her son. I hung out with her for a while so she would know I wasn't rejecting her just the food. It was the 3rd time in a few days I've told her I don't want french fries, I think it may have sunk in this time. sounds...

I didn't know that happened in brazil, thats really awful. Life is confusing and we all make our choices I guess, its just scary cause most people never really know. My mum grows alot of our veges, oh there free range alright =] there my mums pets..Along with a turkey.. Can you believe we live in the city? XD It was worse once, we raised ducks as well. Im a vegetarian =] What are egg creams?

So basically Truvia IS erythritol - just that now it is sold in stores and given a brand name, right? I just bought a box, which still isn't cheap, but I guess neither is Splenda. If Truvia is as natural as sugar (as the commercials suggest) why isn't it as cheap as sugar?

love my taco salad w/ jalapeno peppers!! The spiciness slows you down and boosts the metabolism and gives u a glow that bare minerals can't even do LOL

I'm so glad you tried eating a little more! I'd starve on what you first quoted. Sorry, I didn't notice what plan you're following,...

ImOnMyWay - you were asking if I had any data on how fermentation affects the goitrogen content of soy. I didn't have any at the time, but I just saw this today: http://wholehealthsource.blogspot.c...s-part-iii.html Quote: The second paper Dr. Lindeberg sent me was on the soy isoflavone genistein. Here's the executive summary: it's bad. Unless you are a man who really wants to embrace his feminine side. It gets into all tissues...

Definitely a your mileage may vary. If it's a choice between going off plan or having the ATkins bar becuase those are the only choices, I'd go with the Atkins bar. But, if possible I would stay away from them--at least until you're in the upper rungs of the carb ladder and even then far and few in-between. I wouldn't make a habit of them. There are some people who eat them regularly without problem. Me?, they make me...

I was thinking the same thing, I feel bad for thinking it but I have seen it before. People don't like change, its...

This sounds like my sister. She's had T2 diabetes since 1988, is about 450 pounds, extremely sedentary due to other health issues including CFIDS, MS, and on and on, mostly in a wheel chair. She won't touch low-carb with a 100-foot pole, even when her dr. has tried and tried to get her to go that way. When I did Atkins in the past, she totally bashed it ... all the while eating foods I had cooked when she'd visit. (but downing...
