Brenda, I have been on/off Atkins for about 3yrs now. My current weight is 127.5 and my highest weight was 179 back on 8/99. I couldn't really tell you what my CCL is cause I never really paid attention to that-probably somewhere between 30-40. I just pick mostly meat/veggies and lc fruits. Now I did go off of it for while in between that time and did an OA 90 program where I had to eat 3 weighed and measured meals. It kinda reminds me of the foods the BFL book tells you to eat. My main reason for lowcarbing is that I am a sugar addict. I have no control over it. I also suffer from Bulimia since high school. I can be in recovery for months and years and than all of sudden be full blown into my disease. March 30th was my last day of purging but I still have trouble with binging. When I do lowcarb the way it's suppose to, I have no trouble with this. It's when I try to eat sf imitation crap that gets me every time. You would think I would learn by now but no way.. I keep shooting myself down every now and than. ...sigh
I posted a question on your journal, as to why you put coconut oil in your coffee. I just recently bought flax seed oil and also coconut oil but haven't really used it yet. I have added flax seed oil to my plain yogurt w/fruit that I at times eat for breakfast.
hugs~
