HI KAREN.
THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY.
MY MOM WAS ON A LOW-CARB DIET FROM A BOOK TITLED. "CALORIES DON'T COUNT" BY HERMAN TALLER, PBLISHED IN 1961.
TALLERS PREMISE WAS TO GET ENOUGH "GOOD" FATS TO MELT YOUR BODY FAT.
MY MOM WOULD DRINK AN OUNCE OF SAFFLOWER OIL PRIOR TO EACH MEAL. (this was way back before they came out with oil in capsule form). I DO NOT REMEMBER WHAT HER BREAKFASTS CONSISTED OF, BUT DINNER WAS USUALLY STEAK AND A BAKED POTATO WITH BUTTER AND SOUR CREAM (along with the oil, of course). I LEAFED THROUGH THE PROTEIN POWER BOOK, BUT IT LOOKED TOO COMPLICATED FOR ME. I AM JUST TRYING TO GO LOW ON CARBS. I HAVE BEEN THREE WEEKS WITHOUT "SUGAR" AND I AM DOING WELL. THE FIRST WEEK I LOST 4 POUNDS AND THE SECOND, I LOST 4 MORE, BUT NOW I HAVE BEEN AT A STANDSTILL FOR ALMOST A WEEK.............I HATE WHEN THAT HAPPENS!
HAVE A GREAT DAY.
