So far, this system doesn't seem to be interfering with wt. loss since I have been doing this since I started and still lost wt. Hope I am doing this right. Don't think Dr. A. had a set amount of water in his '72 book. Be well, Annie

Hey Annie, I'm the queen of dt soda... I'd drink boat loads of it until I injured myself and couldn't carry it on the wheelchair. It never interfered with my ability to lose weight or keep it off.
And your spot on about water!  Dr. A never limited or said to drink copious amounts of it like some LC WOE peeps are doing. Here's the quote from the book in the Induction section:
Quote:
Drinks: Water, Mineral water, Vichy, Club soda; Beef or Chicken broth, bouillon; Sugar free diet soda; coffee*, tea, decaffeinated coffee
*Special note on caffeine and Diet Cola. Because most heavy people have some hypoglycemia, coffee, tea and diet colas, which contain caffeine, should be limited to six servings a day (cups). If you know you have low blood sugar, better limit it to three.

Same goes with caffeine ~ never a problem for me.
Most of us read that quote above the same way we read eating zero carb foods: Eat and drink when hungry/thirsty and stop when you're not! |
see you in the new room
