Dr A speaks on the topic of how we are totally off balance when we are low-fat overweight dieters. To get ourselves back in balance is NOT to eat a balanced diet, but to actually eat a non-balanced diet. (See page 92 DANDR)
That's what induction is all about, getting ourselves back in balance. Don't judge low carb eating with what's on the menu for the first 14 days.
I've been on maintainence for a while, pre-maintenance for several months. And I can say with some confidence - This is NOT life without bread. I had 2 slices of flax toast this morning as a matter of fact, ... a clementine and some carrot sticks were on today's menu too, along with all kinds of other healthy food.
Low carbing isn't about WHAT YOU EAT. It's about WHAT YOU DON'T EAT.
Here's a sample of what I don't eat: Twinkies, candy apples, Oh Henry bars, caramel popcorn, margarine, processed frozen foods, pop, chips, breaded anything, bottled salad dressings, Sara Lee chocolate cake, foil-wrapped junk made in a laboratory, just-add-water-foods, Baskin Robbins Pralines and Cream, marischino cherries, .... Do you really think I'm killing myself?
