Great list, Janet. Thanks for posting it here. As for Point 3:

Yesterday I was visiting with a friend who is trying her best with LC. She's in her mid-70s so results are very, very slow. She said, "Truth be told, I'd be happier not eating meat." So I said, "Why don't you do that? You can design a healthy plan around your food preference." I really do believe that. Unfortunately, she's persuaded that LC, including meat protein and fat, are the key to success--success she's apparently not having. Now my dilemma: Having convinced her that LC/Atkins is a great way to live, I can't talk her out of it.

Those are very good rules. Simple, helpful, effective for most people.
