Hello lo carbers,
I am new here but not to lo carbing. I have been on Atkins since Jan 6 '02. Am considering changing to CAD for healthy heart upon the advice of my physician, but quite nervous about the plunge. My bad cholesterol and triglycerides went down considerably during Atkins, but doctor still feel should watch the fats since my blood test for "C9' is high. He said this is something new that even patients with low cholesterol and tri gly but with high "C9" were found to be at risk for heart attack.
I am glad I found this forum where there are lots of nice , supportive, informative members.

Am just wondering what the body reaction will be to all the carb pouring in during the Reward meal? Is there a weight gain at the start from all those carbs?

Thanks,
Orchid
