I agree with Hatetocook. I have read several LC books. I think it gives you a better understanding of what is going on in your body. It was interesting to me how you can control your insulin levels by controling you sugar (carb) intake. I would NEVER go on a "diet" or change my lifestyle without a lot of research.

This forum is good for support and information. Just take some of what is said here with a grain of salt. Not all the ideas are fact based.

I knew last summer on Labor Day (9/2/02) when I reading DANDR that he was talking about me and the life I was living. I was drinking a homebrewed beer (Czech Pils, my favorite) and eating pretzels while reading the book! Makes me smile just thinking about it...

Anyway, education is very important to your success in this WOL. I stay away from the LC bars. I do have maybe one shake a week.

Have a great weekend!

Cheers!
