   wow…just came across this thread today and thrilled to see its still alive. i’m in the obesity prevention field, and everything i’ve heard from colleagues has made me turn my nose at atkins..until now. i was at my doctor about a month ago, and she explained to me that the problem putting people at risk for diabetes was not sugar, but carbohydrates. talk about a doc who gets it! also, i had a friend who is experiencing tons of success (and energy) on a similar lifestyle. but what made me SERIOUSLY reconsider all of this was getting a glimpse of the book “good calories, bad calories”. so, i’ve got about 3-4 low carb books (including atkins), i’m reading through right now. i havent started induction yet, but i’m slowly getting over my fear of fat.. and i have to say its a delicious experience. also, being freed of the compulsion of having to constantly buy carbohydrates while i’m out is liberating. but what to do with the $24 worth of bars and shakes i purchased tonight? i had a shake and 3 bars today. i know that wasn’t the point.. i may have to seal them for travel and earthquake kits only. p.s. i plan to put off induction for after i get back from some travel. what can i do to prepare myself to succeed? for now, i’m going to stick to trying not to get re-addicted to desserts. low-fat foods, and the like…

   I find bringing my own work gloves is also better since the disposable ones end up ripping and don’t really protect your hands if you’re doing more intense work or picking up pokey things. I’m off to collect mine from my earthquake kits for tomorrow morning! M´s last blog ..bus waiting
