Hi, Sylvia.

....and in my experience, calories DO count. I'm a short woman (5'2") and I can low-carb and be in ketosis, but if I eat more than say 2000 calories a day I seem to stall. Having said that, I eat till I'm full too; but I can be full and still lose (though slowly; 1 pound a week) on 1500 calories a day.

Atkins (somewhere) recommends eating till you're full, but not stuffed, which seems to be pretty good advice.

I think it's a case of Your Mileage May Vary.
