Dieter's Diary

[Kimerpuff]

What this diet is about, is avoiding carbs which are the cause of high blood sugar. Its very similar to alot of things.. primal blueprint for another example. Atikins was to high in fat for me

The trick is for me, to get full on protiens.. add in my veggies (rarely salad!) and I dont want or really crave much.

I get to eat lean meats.. like Top sirloin steak, shrimp (sauteed in extra virgin olive oil) baked skinless chicken.. ect! I am so shocked that I dont want to cheat, Its amazing!
While I agree with the moderation, Totally.. its also about what you eat that makes you fat or skinny.. high blood sugar or normal. So much misinformation out there, even shocker the goverment! The food pyriamid is all messed up! 60% of your daily intake from carbs WTHeck!

I don't understand why it's 60%... Most all of the popular diet have you cut out a large portion of carbs. But I can't give up my potato's or bread.

The reason the gov tells you to have 60% carbs.. follow the money Fudgey! We as vapers have learned that lesson! Big tobacco/Big Pharma.. The only difference is the size of the markets, and the Food Market is HUGE! The gov has alot of subsidies for grain/crops.. If sales went down they would be in a world of trouble

There was an interesting documentary, sort of a response to the Super Size me one.. its called FatHead, you can see it on Hulu for free.

Oh yes the wonderful government! And when there is a shortage of wheat because of crop damage the prices sky rocket!

I will have DH try to find that for me.
