Re: For Newcomers (This is long and will not be of use to everybody)

I think there's a lot of misunderstanding about carbohydrates ( " carbs " ). Instead

of our diets being no- or low-- carbs, we should be talking about avoiding

simple carbohydrates, such as white sugar and white flour. Broccoli is mostly

carbohydrate (about 92%), as is spinach. And green beans. In fact, most of most

of the healthy food we eat is carbohydrate. Don't take my word for it--it's easy

enough to look up.

The Atkins diet is really really unhealthy. I can't think of a worse diet for fm

sufferers. Way too much protein. Way way too much fat.

might be better getting hold of the Atkins book and following his guidelines

because to be honest Dr Atkins stuff is very easy to read. This stuff by Bee and

the other writers is really more of use when you have been low carbing for a

while. It helps us select better foods and supplements etc, but really just

simply getting our carbs down is best at the beginning. Once we have them down

and we start feeling better thats when we can learn this additional stuff. But

it is all good and it can all get us extemely well, extremely well indeed
