  • Those last few pounds

    Some chat elsewhere on this board reminded me how difficult the last few pounds can be to shift (how could I forget!)

    I did a Google search on "last few pounds":



    There's some interesting reading here, some of which needs noting with care if you are sticking with a low carb programme.
    Atkins didn't say 'Calories don't count',
    he said, 'Don't count calories.'

    I found this. Ha, probably not written by an Atkins supporter.


    Tweaking your diet can help get rid of those last stubborn pounds. Rather than cutting foods out, think of substituting one thing for another. Some examples are:
    • Switch from 1% milk to Skim milk.
    • Use light or fat free mayo instead of the full fat version.
    • Check the labels on the foods you eat each day and find lighter versions to cut calories.
    • Add more fiber to your diet to help you feel full and eat less calories.
    • Eat reasonable portion sizes.
