Thanks for all of your replies and a big CONGRATS to those of you who are successfully controlling the medical problems along with the weight loss! Just yesterday I was telling hubby how I'm still amazed that I can freely eat as many eggs as I want to each day because for years we've all heard how bad they are for us. Just that one section in that book jumped right out at me and from then on I was a low-carber. As of today I have lost 22 pounds in less than 2 months so something obviously works in this diet. Even though I may cheat now and then I do believe I can reach my goal doing this.

May you all have happy low-carb lives so you may live long and prosper
