To me this sounds like a concession to those people who can't get past the idea of counting calories....doesn't necessarily sound like it's a rule of the diet. I wondered about everyone on the boards saying 10-12 x your body weight in calories, too.

Yes, freckle, I agree with you there, this is NOT a "count calorie" WOE. But for some of us unfortunate enough to have a very high metabolic resistance, - for those us who are turtles/stallers or whatever, it's not necessarily enough to count just carbs. We might need to look at the whole picture. There's where this recommendation comes from. I also have an e-mail from atkins support stating the recommandation of 10-12 x bodyweigh in carbs if you are metabolicly challenged.
I wish we all could be the same. I wish I could be like my friend in here who loses 3-4 lbs a week without doing anything "extra". I would be a happy cucumber !!
I'm having problems keeping my carbs AND cals high enough, - but I'm learning ! |
