Right on, Liz! Red and Summer, if you're serious about doing low carb, there are two phrases you can (make that "must") eliminate from your vocabulary....lowfat and low cal.

I've been doing Atkins for just over 6 months, eating beef (with the fat on the steak), chicken (with the skin on), lots of butter, real salad dressing, cream (including whipping) and mayo--plus lots of other good things I wouldn't dare touch on a low cal diet.

....and the result? I've lot 44 lbs. (Not bad for 60 years young.)

Low carb works if you remember that fat is good for you.

Good Luck to you both!
