calling all Lesbian low carbers...
 

Maybe we can start our own thread.
My gf and I started Atkins aprox 8 weeks ago. I have lost about 15lbs, she has lost about 10. I absolutely love this WOE, I feel much more energetic and healthly.

You rang?

Tried to pm you, but I couldn't. (I think you have to make 25 posts before they turn it on.)

Come over to my journal and we can have a chat about it. Lots of family members on this board.

hi :) i'm in portland and would love to start a lesbian chat group, please tell me how and when u do. thankyou, Angelhugs

I'm new to this site and only have a few posts, so far. How do I get to your journal Emily?

Was there an official chat/thread started?

Hi Michele,
No official thread that i know of. What is Allergy rotation?

Hi prmichel,

My doctor suggested I get tested for over 100 foods. The idea is that we are senstive to certain foods and if we eliminate them for a few months and then rotate individual foods into our diets slowly it will make our bodies metabolize better. He took about 4 small vials of blood and within 3 weeks I got a whole booklet of what I was sensitive to and what I wasn't.

For example, I found out I am extremely sensitive to chicken (which I used to eat everyday!) - since eliminating it I don't have the gaseous occasions I used to blame on carbs!

I was on atkins for a long time and lost so slowly that I thought I was in constant stall. After the change in diet (I had to eliminate both chicken and pork products, but was able to add more beef and dairy), I have lost pretty steadily!

It worked for me. But I would read up on it before going to your doctor since they may not know anything about it. It's about a $350 test but can be covered by your insurance. Here's the website www.alcat.com.

C'mon now this can't be all of us!

I guess it's just you and me Michele.
How was your weekend?
I was pleasantly surprised to discover I lost another 3lbs.

Congrats on the loss!

I haven't been a very good girl lately but I am getting back up on the horse!

Yup, just you and me!

Hey, would you guys be opposed to having a Gay man as part of this thread? I seem to be the only one around...

There are quite a few gay folks on this forum, but for some reason we seem to hang out in one another's journals.

Emily

Not gay myself, but at least 1/4th of the folks in my "subscribed threads" are....so clearly there are more of you around. I don't feel comfortable giving out names. Maybe they will find /you, I hope. Not sure it makes a difference, eating wise.... Listen to Emily, she will tell you what's up.

I'm attracted to lesbians because in my experience they have a great sense of humour and are more articulate than the average bear. Having worked in the mental health field, I know a lot of them.

There of a lot of us "straight folk" around who are happy to listen and be interested in what you have to say, regardless of orientation.

I am having trouble with your posted height in your profile, though.

All best,

Kay

Trouble with my height?? Did I miss something??
