Welcome aboard. I know what you mean about trying to shed the old ways of thinking ie. low-fat, high-carb drilled into our heads by all medical institutions. You'll get over it soon. I'm having a heck of a time with my husband. He still asks me to cook more chicken (5 days a week) because he doesn't want too much red meat. I tell him he's being silly and explain the Atkins wol and how the body processes protein in the absence of carbs from sugar and starch, but he give me the ol' "deer in the headlights" look. Give me time and I'll eventually convert him to all the joys of low-carbing. I still get a chuckle when I see him make himself eggs. He uses 1 whole egg and about 3 egg whites. I tell him to use all parts of the egg. Ahh, but a thousand mile journey begins with the first step!

Keep us posted.
