Did you all see the story in the paper and on The Today Show about how they are rethinking the Atkins Diet? They did a study on the Atkins Diet, and the American Heart Assoc. low fat diet, and in the Atkins Diet, people lost more weight, their triglycerides went down more, and their good cholesterol went up more. But of course, they have to do more studies.
We're supposed to have our warmer weather starting today. I hope it's true. I'd like to get this crunchy ice melted.
Jennifer, congratulations on the 5 lb. loss. That's terriffic!
We have a GF Grill which we use all the time. I do miss having our hamburgers cooked outside though.
mauvisroux, here is a list of whole-wheat flour that has been tested using SS bread machine. King Arthur WW & White WW, Stone Buhr, Bob's Red Mill, Arrowhead Mills WW Pastry Flour, & Gold Medal. Hope this list helps you. We also got some snow last night before we went to bed.
Su, I was wondering how you keep your points so low while combining low-carbing & WW. I'm having a hard time keeping them low. I do eat oatmeal most mornings, but when I have bacon & eggs I end up using 6 or 7 points! I do make a vegetable soup that is 0 points, and I rely a lot on that for my meals. I do use reduced fat cheese, so I can keep my points fairly low there. Any tips you can give me?
nikki, even with whatever moisture we've gotten these past couple of months, we are still in a drought situation. There was a news story about it last night as a matter of fact. We are hoping that we get a lot of snow this winter so that come spring our well will be up where it should be. This winter we'll probably have to live with our well being low. How are the new tapes working out?
ANNE, I'm sure the Atkins & PP will make a big difference. It's funny how most low carb books say you have to balance your carbs & proteins, and eating carbs alone will spike your insulin level. That does make a lot of sense. Good luck with Atkins & PP
It's time to go make breakfast, take my shower, then start my day. You all have a great day.
