35kg... damn, that's a lot to drop. Well done! If I were to drop that much weight, I would be only slightly above the healthy weight for my height. That'd be nice... *sigh*

How did you do it?

You could always send some of your weight to me DexX, I could really do with bulking up a few pounds.

You know, the Atkins guy recently had a heart attack. You know what the funny thing is, though? It actually wasn't related to the diet. Interesting thing to ponder.

I too have been dieting lately, though I haven't been doing it the Atkins way... I'm sorry, I generally don't like a lot of meat, so his diet would reduce me to a 24/7 intake of CHEESE. Not that I would mind 24/7 cheese, but I simply cannot give up my bread. :p

By the way, I've lost 10 pounds this month. Let's hear it for pants won't stay up!

pants *that* won't stay up.

Sorry to hear about that.
But I want you to know that as soon as I get around to it he's off my favorites list forever!

Also, I'm doing the Atkins diet which cuts out all carbs...Carbs are in breads, pasta, sugar, potatoes, fruits, vegetables, and just about everything else. (Cept bebees.) The two main things they aren't in is Meat and Cheese, which means I've been eating steaks, pork chops, summer sausage, lunch meat, and tons of cheese. Not a bad way to diet...
I quit smoking because I was tired of addiction. The mental side of it, that is. Always looking forward to the next fix, you know...
That was the verbose explanation of why I quit smoking. Here's the curt version of how: Wellbutrin (also known as Zyban). Not one craving, I kid you not.
Thank you for visiting MedLine...

For a fantastic low-carb, low-fat, high protein diet, read Barry Sears' The Zone. When Bec and I had a bit more money, energy, and time, we went on that and lost about 20kg between us. Trouble is, preparing a lot of fresh food takes morre time than being lazy and unhealthy, and keeping the fridge full of fresh vegetables and lean meat hurts the budget somewhat. Sears warns very gravely against saturated fats and "bad cholesterol" (LDL and HDL - I can never remember which is which) and gives a huge list of good, reasonable, and bad foods.

Well, I highly recommend the curry, kebab and vodka diet. I've been on it for months, and now I'm just under 10 stone.

I just eat crisps and drink Red Bull and I'm eleven stone seven pounds. I like my metabolism.

Just how big are those stones?

---
100 pounds of shit in a 25 pound sack.

I'm a weak measly 7 stone.

I weigh sixteen stone, I eat whatever isn't nailed to the plate and smoke like a crosstown bus. I suppose I'll die. I'd like to quit smoking because it's expensive. I'll try the Zyban.

I wanted my half in the middle and I wound up on the edge.

I'm 10 stone, maybe just under, and Cish had made me feel guilty.

I am not 16 going on not 17, I know that I'm naive.

Prophet Atkins said you Carbies might try to entice us with such lies. I'll have to call the compound and let them know about this.

Cholesterol has been my big concern on this diet too. Atkins claims that cholesterol levels will actually go down on his diet. The premise being that when your body is in ketosis, you are eating less, so though you are eating more cholesterol per meal, you are also eating less meals per day, hence less cholesterol per day. I am somewhat skeptical about this so I got my cholesterol tested a couple of months back and plan on getting retested here soon so I can see whether the Atkins diet actually does increase or decrease cholesterol levels. To his credit, I have seen many low-carb dieticians back up his claim of reduced cholesterol levels. Not huge losses, (maybe 15, 20, 25 points) but no gain.

Just at 72 instead of 27.

I ate a hooker half a bottle of knife.

Indeedy doodely. I have, on extremely rare occasions, taken a drag off a friend's clove cigarette. Other than that, I'm smoke-free and have been for 14 months.

I've recently begun wellbutrin, not for quitting smoking, but for the antidepressant effects. It's doing wonders for me, and without the sexual side effects that I had with other antidepressants. (Go ahead, folks. I await your rapier wit.)

My nerd wife said Atkins had a cardiac arrest, not a heart attack. But since no one but her knows the difference, or cares, I smacked her a good one and told her to keep her fucking mouth shut.

And then I had her make me a sammich.

100 pounds of shit in a 25 pound sack.

My pre-Wedding diet plan worked pretty well. I lost about 10 pounds a month.

- No breakfast (no change from my normal routine) -- but I did have coffee with whoile milk and sugar
- 10:00 snack -- yogurt or string cheese
- Lunch -- Kashi Go Lean protien bar
- 3:00 snack - yogurt or string cheese
- Dinner - normal dinner
- 96 ounces of water over thr course of working hours

30 minutes on the treadmill every other day.

It sounds bad but the frequent snacks keep away the munchies and it was actually easy after a couple of days.

Now, to get back on it...

...Trot and Cap'n Bill were free from anxiety and care. Button-Bright never worried about anything. The Scarecrow, not being able to sleep, looked out of the window and tried to count the stars.

A cardiac arrest is when the heart stops beating altogether. I believe cardiac arrest is usually related to an arrhythmia (the heart loses its timing). During a heart attack, your heart is still beating but there is insufficient blood getting to the heart muscle(as when happens when a clot blocks a coronary artery) or the blood reaching the heart isn't carrying enough oxygen.

Would you like mayonnaise on that sammich, sir?

"And Wirthling isn't worth the paper he isn't printed on."

I forgot to mention this: One way to tell a heart attack from a cardiac arrest is that a person having a heart attack can tell you about it. A person experiencing cardiac arrest is unconcious and has no pulse or respiration. Another thing to keep in mind is that a heart attack can lead to cardiac arrest (damage to the heart muscle caused by the lack of oxygen disrupts the heart rhythm) but cardiac arrest does not lead to a heart attack.
