My mom is on a sort of modified Atkins diet, where it's low-carb but also low fat. She's lost 30-something pounds, which is very exciting.
Losing 30-something pounds does sound exciting! However, I don't think it would be practical for me to try. I cannot live without the tasty potato. It would be an Atkins exercise in futility.

I know!

I know. She tells me the whole thing about how you stop craving things and you feel full with less food and you have more energy, but I think it's a myth, like those endorphins you supposedly get from exercising.
Shit - Does anyone have the recipe for the CI spice cake? I want to make it for NYE, but of course the original link has expired.
[eta: nevermind, I found it. Apparently I emailed it to ita a few months ago when she asked the same question.]

The only time I stop craving things is when I'm horribly ill. I'd rather not associate mealtimes with deathtimes!
I think "smaller portions" + "more exercise" - "snacking" = "slightly more feasible for me".
Jessica - is this it? [link]
Well, it's there for anyone else, even ifmy awesomeness was thwarted by Jessica's smartness.

ditto.
That's it too! Thanks Aims.
I have actually experienced the mythic endorphin rush. But it's a rare thing.
I will never stop craving sugar or potatoes. Never.
We had a split lip incident. It's amazing what an ice cream snow man will do to alleviate the pain and tears.

They have a secret compartment that can hold a tiny 2GB USB drive....

I lost 30 lbs a couple of years ago on a severe version of this. Tiny meals. I could eat what I wanted to, but the each meal had to be limited to five bites. It was basically fasting with snacks--and it was given to me by my crazy doctor. It worked, though, and once I got to my goal weight, keeping portions small (since I had been used to eating basically nothing for a couple of months) was simple. I gained back 20 lbs since my surgery, so I am going on a modified version of the diet. Very small breakfast and lunch (like a cup of fruit salad), and a normal but healthy dinner. I wants to be back into my size eight jeans by Spring.
