I dont think you will fail. I really don’t. So I wont bet against you! I think you have enough will-power to complete the week! But, after that? Im not too sure!

I want you to know, I truly know how hard it is, because when I found out I had celiacs disease and crohn’s disease the first things on my list of foods to avoid – are all things carbs.

And, even though its brutal? It does get LESS brutal after about 5 days. However, it’s NEVER easy. Especially because most people always want what they cant have. And by most people, I mean ME.

Lola: The rules have changed now but you might be right. No, Dammit, I can do this.

Lee: I hope so. Right now it’s no fun.

Jayne: Thank you, that helps a lot.

Katherine: Happy Goat soap is so good. I love the fiber pasta and I don’t have issues like that.

Mother: How do I watch my lipids? I get the cholesterol but what is a lipid? I suppose I could google it but you are so much smarter than google.

Jenera: I like cooking I just don’t have time to do it which is why I have been eating so much junk lately. I need to make the time. Simple as that. Who needs sleep anyway?

Holly: I don’t do much dairy, rarely drink milk but I do cook with it.

Maybe I should try the raw diet.

Oh honey, don’t go off carbs. Good carbs=good calories! I HATE the no carb diet. Never lasts. Yes you lose weight and it comes right back on. I’m glad you are still eating fruits and veggies though. Give up processed but keep your carbs nutritious and only do “diets” that you can last a LIFE with, not a week! Okay, that is enough lecturing from the aerobic instructor. (I also HIGHLY recommend getting off dairy. Diary is BAD!)

I am getting the shivers just thinking of no carbs. You are stronger than I. But I will say that when we gave up pre-packaged and most processed foods, I was amazed by the amount of time I spent cooking every single day.

I’ve done it before. It’s not that bad.

The caveat is that you have to watch your lipids and cholesterol–while some studies have reported that the Atkins diet decreases them, that’s not everyone’s experience. Hope that you fall into the first category, but check.

The real power of the diet, I think, is that if you cheat, it doesn’t work. Once you are in the zone, you have a real impetus to stay there.

I don’t think the food will get you. But the wine will.

HOWEVER…. you are Strong Redhead Ranting and I salute you. My prediction is you make it. One week. Maybe let a few hours slip and have a glass of wine a tad bit early, but still w/in fair time to say you succeeded.

Man oh MAN do I love me some Happy Goat soap. That is an awesome prize.

That pasta? You are gonna be in the bathroom doing more than number one, no?
