I don't consider TSP to be LC, so find that I can't really compare it to other LC diets. I call it "carb-restricted." When people ask about my diet, I say "it's a carb-restricted diet, but it's not crazy like Atkins is -- it's about balancing your carbs, protein and fat." I tracked my food on fitday.com for a couple of months and found this really to be true -- I eat approximately the same amount of grams of protein, fat, and carbs on any given day.
What always causes me a little niggling worry, though, is the percent of calories from fat. I am usually between 50 and 60 percent. I think this happens by necessity if you're balanced, because fat has more than twice the calories of carbs and protein. I just try to tell myself that Dr. S. says not to worry about the fat . . . .
At work I'm surrounded by people doing WW. They all have their 0 point salad with fat free Italian dressing for lunch. It's funny because I often have the same salad, but with meat and full fat dressing on it (with some crackers or followed by a piece of fruit). And I'm not hungry until dinner, whereas I can remember being hungry within a couple of hours in those no fat days.
