L.C. Dave, I'm ROFL at your # 3 question.

3. Why is this called a summer reading program when it's winter ?

Re: Dandr ~ Our Summer Reading Program

OK, I wanna say what a great idea this is and thanks for caring about people.
I'd been meaning to get started on the book again yadda yadda yadda.
I feel like I'm in Oprah's book club LOL.
Anyway, reading the preface and right away I see on P.xii start of first paragraph-
"People were taught to regard sugary cereals as health food".
Now, there's a breakfast cereal here in Europe called "Kellog's Special K" which is marketed very much as a health food and has it's own weight loss marketing drive.
When I was off Atkins I bought a pack and thought that it tasted very sweet. I checked the ingredients and the second biggest ingredient is SUGAR!!!
And this is marketed as a health food!!!
You just can't believe anything any more!
Anyway, back to the book.

would that be me or did someone else snag my tag?

it is not like I don't believe or understand the whole metabolic stuff..it is just my priority of interest in this thing stops at the food and how hot Dr Atkins actually was ..we can talk about that for hours..the metabolic stuff while important to most sensible folks....does not apply to what hooked ...hooks...and forever will keep me hooking (yup) this style of eating

Re: Dandr ~ Our Summer Reading Program

P.12-15.
"Refined carbohydrates are slow poison to you. These foods are bad for your health, bad for your energy level, bad for your mental state, bad for your figure, bad for your career propsects, bad for your sex life, bad for your digestion, bad for your blood chemistry, bad for your heart. What I'm saying is that they're bad!"

I think I'll write that out and stick it up somewhere.
When I'm putting on weight, my self-confidence nosedives, I feel heavy, no energy, I think less of myself, I've a big belly, I don't wanna be naked with my partner and I often don't even want to leave the house! I know with every bite that I'm doing my heart and health damage.

Right, that's it, will deffo write that out! Woohoo, here we go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who's leading the discussion? I'm only good for causing chaos, not starting discussions But I promise to be very good

Re: Dandr ~ Our Summer Reading Program

Keeping it simple.

P. 23/24.

"In the 1890's the craze for cola beverages swept the nation - which means that when we were thirsty and craved water, we got sugar as well."
"Sugar has no nutritional value and is directly harmful to your health!"

Re: Dandr ~ Our Summer Reading Program

P.37 Bottom paragraph.


"The truth is that AS LONG AS YOU ARE COMMITTED, it's going to be surprisingly easy."

"And IT'S GOING TO LITERALLY CHANGE YOUR LIFE - and your perception of yourself."

Re: Dandr ~ Our Summer Reading Program

Now here is some questions:-

1. Where is the button for the siggy ?

2. Do we post when we have read the assigned section ?

3. Why is this called a summer reading program when it's winter ?


PS - Part one is 93 pages!

1. you will get the button upon completion of our read.

2. post when you have a question, comment, when you get done with a part, whenever. i imagine sometimes you will have a question and sometimes not. the purpose for the list in the second post is so i know who gets the button at the end and who doesn't.

3. it's summer where most of us are. sorry man.

ps. my experience is that if we drag it out, people will drop away. this is meant for comminttment. i believe 93 pages is very doable.
