My carb count (as an example) for the last four days is:
Monday 9.5
Sunday 13
Saturday 7
Friday 11

This is accurate information. I don't lead a sedentary lifestyle,
my food/carb measurements are exact (I'm a scientist),
WHAT GIVES?

(I know...I've seen the stuff toward the back of the book about
metabolically resistant people...but why does it have to
be ME? To add to that, I LOVE fruits and vegetables, so I'm
feel utterly restricted by this diet...even bored.)

Things I can see as an answer: 1. I take an SSRI daily,
2. I'm a vegetarian normally, so all my protein is coming
from fish, eggs, tofu, and cheese 3. I have an ileostomy
(no colon) 4. I'm borderline menopause
5. Until I spotted it in the book a few days ago, I had at least
some nutrasweet in my coffee in the morning, and some
aspartame soda in the afternoon.

To reiterate, I count every carb, including the ones in the
nutrasweet packets, and in the Walden Farms dressing that
labels itself as "0 g". (They can legally say this if
it's less than 0.5 g...therefore I assign 1 Tbsp a figure
of 0.5.)

Does any of the above sound like something I can DO something
about?

Thanks in advance,

(P.S. - Ignore the stats on my email header. I started at 141,
and am now at 140. Want to get to 115.)
