Tammera -- welcome to the list.  Why don't you go ahead and post the info about
your store.  Maybe some of us will make it to the grand opening!!

Hi-

Okay, Mary, here's my introduction.

I've been doing low carb since September 1999, and have lost 40 pounds.  This is
my website:  Low Carb Loser

I also run an MSN message board, and have met some great friends in this area
and we've all been very supportive of one another.

One of my friends (who has also been low carbing for 4 years) approached me and
asked if I'd be interested in opening a low carb store in San Francisco.

I said, "But of course!"

And so we are opening our doors on Saturday.  It's been an adventure, that's for
sure.  We're very excited!  We're going to do seminars, too.  I went to one of
the "franchise store" seminars.  Ours won't cost a thing, or last hours and
hours until you're so tired and hungry that you can barely stand it. (Hmm, how
much did I *not* like that seminar?)   We'll just give an overview of low carb
diets, why they work, tips and tricks we've learned along the way, etc.  We're
thinking of having a fee up front, and then giving out store credit for that
amount after the seminar.

We're not doing this with dollar signs in our eyes.  We're doing it because low
carb is our LIFE and we want to listen to and help others in their journeys.

I hope this doesn't come across as advertising, as I know that's not allowed.   
I know if a low carb store was opening in my area, I would want to know about
it!

I hope to get to know all of you better.  I hope that you will re-introduce
yourselves.

Hi Tammera,

	 I'm not familiar with MSN message boards.  Do they use webpages, or is it
an email list thing like Yahoo groups?  What is the name of the Bay Area
based LC MSN group?

Good luck with the store.  A low carb store (Castus) opened near me in San
Jose about a month ago.  I found the prices high and 2/3 of the products I
carefully picked proved to be nasty.  They had a class they were passing out
flyers for.  They wanted about $30 to attend, so I was not interested.  Both
times I was in their store there were no other customers in sight.  I
compared the price of their LC Isopure to the internet.  They wanted about
$48.  On the internet I found it for about $26 plus $6 shipping.

Hi-

Okay, Mary, here's my introduction.

I've been doing low carb since September 1999, and have lost 40 pounds.  This is
my website:  Low Carb Loser

I also run an MSN message board, and have met some great friends in this area
and we've all been very supportive of one another.

One of my friends (who has also been low carbing for 4 years) approached me and
asked if I'd be interested in opening a low carb store in San Francisco.

I said, "But of course!"

And so we are opening our doors on Saturday.  It's been an adventure, that's for
sure.  We're very excited!  We're going to do seminars, too.  I went to one of
the "franchise store" seminars.  Ours won't cost a thing, or last hours and
hours until you're so tired and hungry that you can barely stand it. (Hmm, how
much did I *not* like that seminar?)   We'll just give an overview of low carb
diets, why they work, tips and tricks we've learned along the way, etc.  We're

amount after the seminar.

We're not doing this with dollar signs in our eyes.  We're doing it because low

Hi Folks, found another great source for low-carb, organic products.
Some of you may be familiar with the brand Bob's Red Mill ?  Sold in
most health food stores, as well as Trader Joe's, I've used their almond
flour as a flour replacement (although TJ's own house brand is now
cheaper, as is their hazelnut flour).  They now have low-carb baking
products at their website.  http://www.bobsredmill.com  Products appear
significantly cheaper than Atkins' comparable products...

meateater -- welcome to the list.  The original owner just turned the list over
to me yesterday and before removing herself as owner, she deleted everything.  I
don't know why!!  But, now it's up to us to start building up our resources.

Feel free to introduce yourself -- there are some experienced people on this
list as well as those just starting out.

Dave - -yes this list has been quiet lately, but I think we just haven't found
our niche.  I am a member of another high volume list and welcome a lower
volume, local list.  I am hoping that we can inject some life back into this
group.

Unfortunately, all of our links, files and messages are gone.  On the flip side,
that allows us, the members of this group, to make it what we want.  I welcome
all ideas and suggestions to make this a great list for us all.

I need to cut back on my lists and this one is too much for me at the moment. So does anyone want to become the owner?

I buy the cheapest bacon possible, and then rinse it off for few minutes.
Hopefully, this removes the nitrates and sugar.  I buy a box of end pieces
at 7 cents an ounce.

I recently purchased a nitrite free bacon at Andronico's in
Berkeley.  My dh really likes to have 2 slices a day and I have been
looking for this, as the nitrites are unhealthy.  Also, they have a
nice selection of organic meats, cheeses, chicken etc and have the
low carb milk that we like (chocolate).  I didn't try this, as it was
a little pricey, but they had this organic cream in the glass
bottles. I did buy one that was hormone free, so that was nice.

We are back on induction, because both my dh and I are gaining weight
(although I'm still losing inches).  I think until I get a food scale
and have a better sense of carb counts, we have to stick to the
basics.  Dh still has another 30 lbs to lose, so I think that is what
we'll have to do.  Bummer, because I was looking forward to more
veggies, but I think it's best.

1 pound of muscle = 1 pound of fat

However muscle is more dense so it takes up less
space.  That's why you are losing inches and not
pounds if you are replacing fat with muscle.  This is
a good thing.  Muscle also burns more calories than
fat so that helps as well.

Keep it up!

You probably are right. Because for years, I wouldn't drink anything
with food while I ate.  People would think I was really weird, and my
dh could always rest assured that even with bad waiter service, he
could always grab my not-touched water.  Part of it is that I have
very sensitive teeth and can't handle the ice.  So at work, I drink
slightly warm water (sounds weird).  And, for once I am finding water
very refreshing. I used to drink some soda occasionally (again, the
bubbles and cold hurt my throat), but more for the taste than for
thirst.  And even if I had thirsty feelings, just a sip would
suffice.  Naturally, I used to get these bladder infections
occasionally, because I wasn't flushing things out enough.

I don't eat much salt but now I really like drinking water.  Today,
had a business meeting and drank a ton of water (nice excuse for
breaks too!).  I know I'm flushing toxins out and such.  Plus, my
skin looks really nice (no breakouts at all for while).

On a much unrelated note: does anyone have an idea how much weight
muscle weights in relation to fat? I've been on induction for a month
and finally switched to phase II at the start of the week (after dh
hit a weight goal).  My calorie count is not too low, but I think ok,
not too much I think.


If anything I have stopped indulging on too much veggies and eat more
protein.  I am limiting hte # of prepackaged Atkins stuff, and only
have a shake or breakfast bar for an emergency.  I exercise at least
5 times a week, including weight training. However, recently I
haven't lost any weight-- in fact, gaining a few pounds. I'm only
4lbs below my starting weight! :(  But, my clothes fit better and my
body is a lot "tighter" and toned (for the first time since I was
about 6 I almost have a flat tummy!).  My dh says that I must be
gaining more muscle, which I think is good. But I wanted to see if
anyone actually knew for a fact that muscle weighs a lot more than
fat.

At my business lunch today, another of the attendees was low-carbing
it-- as he had the burger (left the bun) and switched fries for
salad.  It's almost becoming a fun game to see how I can eat low-carb
when at these events (takes some creativity). And, happily, no one
ordered dessert so I didn't feel like a weirdo for not ordering it
either.

Ok, that's it for me.  Now that we are in phase II we can cook much
more interesting foods too, I'm so excited! Please give me any tips
for the OWL phase, if you have any.

Happy weekend! (woo hoo, we are going with friends to a bbq place in
lafayette that's supposed to be really good, AND that doesn't put on

I've been very thirsty, and have been drinking water a
lot. I'm not sure the cause.  It's interesting because
before Atkins, I used to drink at most 2 glasses of
water a day. I wouldn't drink while eating, and in
general wasn't too thirsty.  However I know I was
dehydrated and my skin/scalp were always very dry.

Now, I drink btwn. 7-10 a day and everything looks
better, but I am thirsty. Not sure if my body is
excited to finally get the liquids and wants me to
keep it up. Or, perhaps it takes more water to digest
the proteins? my dh doesn't drink enough and said that
his kidneys were hurting and his urine was really
dark. i told him he'd better drink up or we'd quit--
he's now doing 6 glasses I think.

Anyhow, just wanted to share that I too am thirsty.

Glad to know I'm not the only one, and no, I do not indulge in a lot
of salty food.  I was very good to my body during Induction (driving
me to the brink of food boredom w/ all the "healthy" eats).  Well,
after the Superbowl mishap (I wasn't worse for the wear afterwards) I
am back on Induction....hoping to stay on it for about 4 weeks to
experience something more than 7 lbs. of water loss!

I've been very thirsty, and have been drinking water a
lot. I'm not sure the cause.  It's interesting because
before Atkins, I used to drink at most 2 glasses of
water a day. I wouldn't drink while eating, and in
general wasn't too thirsty.  However I know I was
dehydrated and my skin/scalp were always very dry.

Now, I drink btwn. 7-10 a day and everything looks
better, but I am thirsty. Not sure if my body is
excited to finally get the liquids and wants me to
keep it up. Or, perhaps it takes more water to digest
the proteins? my dh doesn't drink enough and said that
his kidneys were hurting and his urine was really
dark. i told him he'd better drink up or we'd quit--
he's now doing 6 glasses I think.

Anyhow, just wanted to share that I too am thirsty.

I find that I stick to plan for a week or two and loose 5 lbs and then I get bored too. I cant stomach meat or veggies..

 

How do you that are very successful stick to this for weeks. I guess its just that I need to remember that food is fuel….not fun or parties but I cant seem to remember that when im in a sticky situation.

Hey LaJuana - I confess too!  I lost my way on Superbowl Sunday and I
have not found my way back yet...but I am committed to getting back
on the wagon.  We are not perfect and this diet is not the easiest in
terms of food variety.  I was at Superbowl party and there were just
too many goodies besides the spinach salad and tri-tip.  It's
OKAY!  : )

I had the two weeks from hades, which is no excuse except I ate my
way through it all and then some.  I broke down and cried to my
hubby, that I was too stressed out with his brother,(who is disabled
with kidney disease), living with us, who by the way eats nothing but
junk food and sugary candy.  Well, he moved out yesterday and my
husband told me that he would go back on Atkins with me so that it
would be easier for me to cook and stay on plan.  I knew I loved that
man for some reason! We downloaded the Fitday software and have made
a commitment to log in every day.  We officially started yesterday
and everything is going well so far.  I purged the house of junk food
and candy.  I stocked up on meat and veggies.  I went back to Curves
today and I am looking ahead and not backwards.  I am sorry if I have
let anyone down.
