Day three

Richard brought home a fresh loaf of rye bread today...this is going to be very difficult to resist. Maybe a 'modified' Atkins would be the best way to go. Hhhmmm. Bad boy, Richard!

Hi Karen,

Good luck with the Atkins diet; my Uncle (then 80) did it a few years back and lost about 50 pounds. Maybe it wasn't that diet. He got to eat "regularly" for 2 days every 11 days or something like that.

My concerns for you are: 1) You are starving your stored fats (therefore your body) to lose the weight; 2) your energy level! While proteins keep you going for the long haul, no carbs give you no 'perk' I think. (When I was 19, I was diagnosed hypoglycemic and told not to eat more than 60 carbs per day. I could stay awake, but had to give up jogging five miles every day and put on weight. So, I got off that and just watched what I ate and I do fine now - no hypoglycemia or diabetes).

Also, I think you already look great! Your certainly in wonderful shape re cardiovascular and muscle tone. (Add to that great hair, nice clothes....) Ya got the whole package, girlfriend!)
