Here's what the food industry says...

I found a "Food Processing Center" at the U of Nebraska (center of the Bread Basket of America, right?) and this is what the food industry is telling ITSELF:

I think it's the start of something big...

Consumers still want to enjoy pasta, sweets, breads, and other traditionally high carb foods

Not me! I'm sorry, but I was overjoyed to give up all those sweets, breads, pastas and other starches. Just goes to show we're not all the same.

i have always had problems with my sinuses and allergies. I have found that when I do my CKD with zero carbs, my nose runs , i mean I am literally draining stuff and then I breathe easier. No sinus problems or allergy like symptoms. I can even breath out of both nostrils. You know when you have the nostril switch congestion thing. You can breath out of one, then later you can breath out of the other, but the clear is now clogged, Lol. well, I think it has to do with the allergy/addiction phenomena and I think that somehow I am allergic to carbs.

Yeah like Sunday I was in ketosis , my blood sugar was 46 all day at work. I feel fine just as long as I dont dropped below 42. anyways when I do my carb up day. i have eaten upwards of 600 grams of carbs, and never left ketosis. But even on my carb up day, I do the hi g carbs at first and then switch to complex and vegetables. I really dont feel like eating a ton of carbs. Ill maybe buy a pizza eat a slice or two and end up scraping all the toppings off for later and throwing away the bread. You just dont eat as much. I am currently restarting my diet. Ive been on it 9 days, and I have dropped 8 pounds. Maybe water maybe not but im dropping a pound a day, and thats how it did last time i did this. I have not been to this site in a while but i hope to this site this time. I have to dropped this weight to make Air force requirements, failure is not an option.

You know, I never realized till you mentioned it that I no longer have sinus trouble...going back to the end of the first two weeks of Atkins!!! Sometimes it would be so bad I had to go to bed with an ice pack...couldn't take meds because of BP. Wow! Thanks for posting...another thing to thank Dr Atkins for...along with normal BP (but only on meds...for now!)
