I've just seen a promo on Sky News for a piece on high fat, high protein diets. It's saying something like "high fat, high protein diets finally given approval". Will have to check the Foxtel guide to see when 'Health News' is on. Should be interesting

He Zedgirl,
Sounds interesting, we haven't gotten our Foxtel guide this month yet (!?).. Do you mind posting when you find when it'll be on, I'd love to see it!!
Thanks,

Just did a search on the Foxtel website. 'Health News' is on Thursday at 7.30pm, Friday 12.30pm and 1.30pm and Saturday 8.30pm. I assume they will show the same stories each time but as I've never watched it before I can't be sure.

Thanks for the update Zedgirl... I appreciate it!

Do any of you get this often when talking or hearing about low carbing? A lot of people just don't seem to hear the word 'low' and assume it is no-carb diet. Arrrrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhh.

I guess a lot of people don't realise vegetables are carbs, so when you tell them you don't eat bread, pasta, potatoes, rice etc they wonder what is left to eat!

I was watching 'How's Life' on tv at 5.30, they were dicussing low carb diets and one of the panel said 'it really does not sound healthy not to eat any carbs'. I just wanted to scream at the TV 'it is NOT a no-carb diet!!!!!!!!!!'

I haven't really told anyone (except my mother) I'm on a low carb diet yet. If anyone asks me how I lost weight I'll tell them what I'm doing but won't try and justify it. I'm 40 this year and I've never felt or looked better than I do right now (the same goes for my husband). My skin is finally clear of acne, my hair is shiny and I've lost that bloated look that I always had before. As much as I want to convert everyone to this WOL I'm not prepared to argue the virtues of it with everyone I speak to. Tell them to read the book (I'm doing Atkins) and let the results will speak for themselves!

hi guys,

it's true about the bloatness, I always can tell when I cheat and have sugar that my face seems to swell up...strange how what happens on the inside is 'written' on the outside.

re sky report, if anyone watches it can u just tell us a bit about it.

cheers,
cathie

Well it seems Sky News got it wrong and showed last weeks promo for this weeks show. After I emailed them, the producer replied telling me when it would be on and then again later to tell me that it was actually on last week's show. Apparently it was specifically about the Atkins diet too. They did say I could purchase a copy if I wanted to so if anyone is interested I can pass on the details.
Sorry!
