Down 10.5 pounds from the day I started, woohoo!!!
One more week to go while my husband finishes his induction period, then we will start on OWL. Results breakdown so far:
Week 1: 7 pounds lost
Week 2: 3.5 pounds lost
If things stay the same for my third week I should lose another 3 pounds or so, for a total of around 14ish for 3 weeks. But if not, I don't care, because I know this is working for me and I will lose fat by staying on track.
Now for something funny...even though Dr. Atkins showed that this diet is healthy for the heart, and other doctors agree with him, most of the insurance companies and longetivity predictors all say low fat and lots of complex carbs is the way to go. I read an article in the Oct/Nov 2008 edition of Mother Earth News, and while the author didn't mention any particular low carb diet by name he laid out some pretty interesting facts about how diets switched to the way they are today and the resulting upswing in obesity. For those of you who are interested, The title is Good Calories, Bad Calories: What Really Makes Us Fat.
I looked it up on their website after reading the article, and they have it there, so here is a link for those who don't want to go out and buy the magazine. If the article wasn't so long I would copy it here. It might be something worth copying to a resources archive though, for folks who question your diet and way of eating. A little something you can wave under the ignorant noses from a magazine that bases itself on sustainable and healthful living concepts and has done so for many years.

I only know eggs and turkey sausage is a heckuva lot sexier to eat for breakfast than a bowl of wussie cereal with skim milk! :P
