Hi,

I am looking for a Medical Doctor, either M.D. or Gynecologist or both that understands Low-carb eating as a way of life. I also need the doctor who has an understanding in Menopause, and will have other solutions, besides HRT. Through process of elimination, I have found that Soy is not a good product for me personally, becuase it helps to mess up my estrogen levels, creating some of the migrane headaches I have had. Besides just stomach disorders. I am a new person on the adkins diet, and I have lost two dress sizes so far, and I am enjoying eating good foods. Not the Low fat garbage. YUCK! I work out 3 to four times a week, and the local gym, and swimming pool. I am also looking for good tasting bread, with low carbs, without the soy. . . . .

Thanks for the help,
Sincerely,
Catgross

PS. I live in Ventura County, CA - Thats where I need to find a good doctor. . . .

Hi!

I live in Bakersfield, by way of Ridgecrest, and San Diego (ex-navy).

Raised in Idaho, but since it was a job-free state, had to leave it for beautiful, sunny, warm economically vibrant California. Bummer, huh?

Only a bummer if you want it to be.

Hi Cheryl,

I think you missed the intended irony there. I like my adopted state!

Hi, I live in beautiful San Luis Obispo county, about midway between LA & SF.

I live in Riverside!

Santa Cruz, Calif here!

ANy new Californian's here.

Welcome to California and low carbing.

Hello my fellow Californians! This is my 3rd day using this website although I've been LC'ing for 9 months now. I love this website and am glad I found this section of the site.

I'm a San Francisco native but just moved out to the East Bay (Pittsburg). I love having the warm summers out here, it's different than what I'm used to.

Anyhow, I'm glad to meet you all and I wish everyone the best of luck in their low carb journey.

Maybe we can do a yearly low carb get together?? Just a thought.

Hi Mommy of 2 welcom... if you are serious about low carb, you will love this place to pieces. These forums are my right hand.

Most on this thread are from so cal.. but there are a few of us northerners here. If I was to take hwy 12 to 4 I'm just about 30 miles from you give or take a few.

Hello everyone! Cheryl R - Yes, you are about 30 minutes or less(depending on how fast you drive) away from me.

I really enjoy looking at everyone's before/in progress/after pictures, support forums, recipes, etc. This is such a great website!

Just today I started my own journal (julia's journal - the rest of my life) and you're all welcome to read it.

I'm feeling great today.. and I hope you all have a good day!!

Yeah Mommyof2... you started a journal... I just posted in it.. then I read it.
I had the same experience at Marine world with a ride.. the only difference is I didn't want to go on it in the first place, but I lost a bet and was supposed to ... but darn, I didn't fit.

And about almost getting to 200....I felt that too back when I was in my 20's. Did traditional dieting... and gained more and more. No this last December I hit 291.75.. and what a scare I had then... but things of the past, we found what works and it's down hill from here...

Hi!!!!!!!!!

I'm from the San Fernando Valley!!!!!!!!

Anyone else???????
