Their coloring looks weird. Yellowish. I've seen it on more than one person. And I remember some comedian talking about it when that diet was really popular.

Low glycemic index diets = best for weight maintenance
QUOTE Eating lots of protein and skimping on refined starch is the best weight maintenance diet, reports a Danish study. Researchers at the University of Copenhagen compared the results of five different weight-maintenance diets on almost 800 European families.
Their conclusion: The most effective is the low-glycemic diet - which means more lean meats, beans, low-fat dairy and less refined starch such as white bread and white rice. The glycemic index measures how carbs break down and changes our blood sugar levels. Foods that spike the blood sugar are assigned higher glycemic index numbers. For example, lima beans, peas, legumes and lentils have glycemic index below 55, while white bread, corn flakes and white rice have GI above 70.
The findings in the New England Journal of Medicine stated that the low-glycemic diet was the easiest to adhere to among the five weight-maintenance diets assigned.
But James O. Hill, director of the Center for Human Nutrition at the University of Colorado, who was not involved in the study told the Los Angeles Times, "There is not much difference among the groups right now,†about the five different diets.

QUOTE On top of that I'd worry about getting too much LDL (bad) cholesterol on that regime. You won't. Â High LDL cholesterol is a symptom of a pro-inflammatory diet containing (HEY CAKEDADDY!) grains and industrial lubricants like vegetable oil. Â A low-carb, high-protein, high-saturated-fat diet will improve your numbers. That's handy. Anything to discredit the claims that cutting out processed/cooked starch is detrimental to brain function? I don't want to be just another pretty face.

Well, that's up to debate.
In the short term, it definitely impairs brain function. The theory is that over time (weeks), the body adapts, and the brain gets energy from ketones or pulling glucose from other sources.
Every time I've tried a low carb (<25g/day) diet, I've felt like death. But doing it around 100g has prevented the death-like, semi-retarded mental state the lower levels do.

I was still pudgy at 180.

I'm on the Door diet plan.
Do I still fit out of the door? Yes. Then no need for a diet yet.

Legs feel better after a week or so of biking. Don't get so tired riding between work and home.

My diet starts Monday; I will do my first official weigh-in when I get up in the morning.
Prepare for Mr. Cranky.

I don't know when mine starts... Thanksgiving + my brother's birthday + being sick + new baby = 5 lbs apparently.

My diet lifestyle change has started already.
Hey Catt, what do you do for decent snacking fare besides the obvious jerky, nuts, and baby carrots?

Is that all you ate all day, or just examples of what you're eating?

Diet starts Monday.
I went shopping today for some things I'll be eating.
After 10 days or so I'll be ready for Thib's MEAT FRENZY diet.
