People who say they are hungry on a low carb diet aren't doing it right. My breakfast was a grilled pork chop, a piece of Land O' Lake Cheese and coffee. Breakfast of a Champion! I like low carb eating so much because there is no counting, except carbs, and you just need to use common sense with food choices. When I started this last March, I made a list of all the foods I like to eat on a regular basis, figured their net carb count and set up a menu. That has done away with counting, trying to figure out what to eat and how to eat it. We eat lunch out every day, but before I ever leave my front door I know what I'm going to order. The internet is a great resource if the eatery is new to you. Dont know why I wrote all this, except when I read journals of others struggling it really upsets me.

Boy do I hear you on this point! I've come to the conclusion the ones struggling aren't trying all that hard and needed a place to whine cause others around them were tired of listen. Either that or they are just lonely and found some where to interact with others. Low carbing is not difficult and you will lose weight. They upset me to know end, I'm at the point I'm not even going to bother responding to the whiners any more.

I think a lot of people are lonely and frustrated with themselves because they cant get their eating under control. They say they are low carb eating and then turn around and have 1/2 gallon Tom and Jerrys Ice Cream. OOPS! What happened, I gained a lb? They act Surprised...dont get me wrong I too struggled with getting my head wrapped around the dedication to sticking to a certain plan. I think I had become content with the fact that I was getting larger, quickly. So as not to set myself up for failure my food plan even allows for the beer I so love. I found the lowest carb beer and planned that into my carb count. There are ways to find success you just have to want it beyond that piece of chocolate cake or the coconut cream pie. I was surprised how quickly the wt. can off once my mind was made up. Sunkeeper you too have had great success with low carbing and are a wonderful resource for people. Although its frustrating, your knowledge and gift for relating it to others, would certaintly be wasted if not shared. Who knows, maybe the whiners are really listening. We never know how we touch others lives!

I really feel they aren't listening, it's like trying to get a 2 year old to eat veggies! I've gotten to the point the frustration of trying to help but then meeting up with "I think the rum added a bit" is to much. If they want to wallow in their rum so be it, you can only lead a horse to water, you can't make them drink!
I know it works and you know it works, you'd think they'd see that but nope. It is what it is I guess, no point in banging our heads against their wall!
