I wish your wife all the best with her Weight Watchers endeavour. Sometimes I does work for people, depends on their bodies I guess. :)

As to the lc faux-foods, I have that issue too. Are you having them later in the day? That's what it looks like. Maybe there's an issue about your energy at that time of day that needs to be addressed first? What do you think?

Paul, I think you are doing very well. My philosophy is that if the carbs are low and it doesn't contain sugar alcohols, it's fair game. I try to eat mostly real food too, but I don't avoid the packaged things like the plague ... I just view them as another tool to make a life out of this and not just a temporary diet. So far so good!

I think you're doing pretty darn well, Paul.

But, I'll agree with you and Erika & October ... LC faux-foods are probably best used in moderation - at most.

Keep on going strong! I'm so happy to see you doing better!

re: your girlfriend

Nothing convinces people of the merit of a diet (or anything) better than a good example. If you do well on a LC diet ... she'll see it's worth.

Well I can't say that for sure, you would know better than me. It could be that you're having stimulus throughout the day (eg. coffee) which gives you a buzz but it doesn't work so strongly later on. Or maybe it's boredom eating. Or maybe it's because you're mind is racing around thinking about life happenings.

Or it could be something else altogether.

Personally, it's boredom eating mainly that's my reason for eating easy-to-grab/pre-packaged foods later in the day/evening.

Does any of that ring true for you?

Low-carb diets slow prostate tumours

Eating fewer carbohydrates, like breads, chips and cakes, may slow tumour growth in patients suffering from prostate cancer, finds a new study on mice. The thinking is that consuming fewers carbs lowers the levels of insulin in the bloodstream, which feeds growing cancer cells. The findings are published in the Nov. 13 online edition of the journal Prostate.

Live Long And Prosper On A Low Carb Diet

Image
Low-carbohydrate diets may eventually prove themselves to have life-extending properties. In animal research, the only consistent intervention that produces increases in life span is calorie-restriction. Whether the same applies to humans has not yet been established, but we do know that cutting calorie intake often produces marked improvements in important health parameters, such as blood glucose control. Unfortunately, telling people to voluntarily limit their calorie intake on a long-term basis tends to be a very poorly-received piece of advice. Low carbohydrate diets, however, may render such unpopular admonitions redundant. Dietary intervention studies have revealed a rather unique phenomenon; subjects following low carbohydrate diets, despite being told to limit only carbohydrate intake and to eat unrestricted amounts of protein and fat, often inadvertently reduce their total calorie intake to levels similar to those seen in subjects who have been explicitly instructed to lower t...
