? About Carbs--mostly to those who have met goals

March 26, 2003

Hi Everyone,

As you can see, I am full of questions tonight...so here goes,

I keep reading and hearing about ppl cutting their carbs to reach their

goals, to get thru plateaus, etc. and I do understand that. I have been on

Atkins before and was very successful in losing the wt but not in keeping it

off.

I can understand cutting carbs as a lifestyle but I worry about my body not

being able to handle many carbs and I don't want that. I mean, I don't want

to live Atkins-style forever, that being the only way to keep the weight off.

Hope I don't sound stubborn, it's just I want to be able to eat as

" normally " as possible, within reason. I want to eat healthy. I hope this

makes sense...so my question is more for those who have met their goal. Do

you still have to eat low carbs or has your body adjusted to being able to

eat carbs now (within reason).
