Dear ken: Didja know that chocalate and other high carborhydrate foods willthe dopamine reeach the brain just a protein retards it. My excuse for mysweet tooth.The only problem being you can store carbohydratyes in fat cells wwhile extra protein just paases thru. So if you ever plan to lose wweight the high protein-low carbohydrat program is your ticket. Also in normal dieting when youre poor staving body starts to break down your excess storage, shall we say it tkaes muscle as well as fat, where mmy low carbodiet you sdon't have to even go hungry. You can even drink rye +water. No beer or wine UNLESS, thereis a certain level off carbograms that i you stayy beneath you will still lose weigtht. THere's even a simple test using keo sticks which prove the presewnce of ketone in your urine shows your beeaking down that fat. Bill Harrington ps fdon't worryi if you don't lose weiht quickly. You know muscle is hwaviwee than fat. Bill
