This info you all posted here is great! Yesterday, I added in a bunch more veggie carbs -- half an onion, a small sweet potato and peppers all roasted with olive oil. Bread, crackers, pasta, grains, white potatoes and sugar are strictly off limits for me. I can only up my carbs by adding ones that grow naturally -- such as vegetables and fruits. [I cannot eat 'just ONE' slice of bread or a 1/4 cup of pasta, so I have made the decision that these foods are not going to be part of OWL or mantainance.] Today, I plan to eat blackberries and cream along with my buttery eggs for breakfast.

As to exercise, while I am impressed with the incredible results BFL brings, I am not sure it is the plan for me. I love the saying 'fat has a will of its own, but it can be reasoned with!'

I also went back and reread Dr. Atkins' statement about stalls. He is pretty clear that coffee can be the culprit. I am working on mentally mustering the resolve to eliminate it or at least cut down.

Again, thanks to all of you for your wise words!
