    Go to the library?

    Or maybe atkins.com?

    Or maybe a Gogle search on "low carb diet"?

    It's called Diet Mountain Dew. I had a Diet Code Red with my chicken for lunch. Yum, the fake cherry hides the aspartane after taste pretty good.

    Michelob Ultra. Haven't you noticed. There's low carb EVERYTHING now. Though the pasta sucks ass.

    Yeah, I'm in it for the long run. My dads' cardiologist lost 40lbs in 14 months. Slow and easy. His cholesterol is down too.

    I have very high cholesterol and triglycerides. Since I now eat no sugar, I wonder what effect this will have. I am going to have it checked in a couple of weeks.

    I read the book. I use sucralose where possible. More and more low carb stuff uses sucralose. There are also some other sweeteners out, or coming out. All the sugar free Hersheys stuff use manitol, which has the extra advantage of being a laxative (eat mostly protein and you will see what I mean).

    I am averaging 3lbs a week with some aspartine and about half my formerly toxic caffine level. That's fine with me. I am planning on my first trip off the wagon at Thankgiving. I should be under 200lbs by then.

  8. It works. on Hackers On Atkins · · Score: 4, Informative

    5 weeks. 15 pounds (so far).

    I eat low carb cereal for breakfast, have meat, veggie and sugar free jello for lunch, more meat and a salad for supper. I have beef jerky, sugar free candy and sugar free jello for snacks.

    I ate a lot of fat the first week. When I got used to it, I cut the fat. I walk around the block twice after supper.

    Easiest diet I ever tried. I am aiming to lose 45-50lbs total.

  9. Re:Some more info, while I'm at it on Tennessee's Super-DMCA Rises From The Grave · · Score: 3, Informative

    I live outside Memphis. Mark Norris is my State Senator. When this first came up, I sent him an email calmly explaining why I thought this was a bad bill. He replied that he was already doing research and looking at info from the EFF. They backed the lobbyist into a corner, asking questions he *DID NOT* want to answer. It went away, but a staffer told me it would come back later.

    I will have to check with him again when I get home, but it looks like (for now) they are doing a good job in grilling the lobbyists again.

    Norris seems like a good guy. He had pretty good grasp of the issues and understood why the bill was bad as written.

    Yeah, I'm planning on building a laptop out of one. The nano-itx boards are smaller than the length of a dollar bill. 1Ghz and draws 7 watts.

    A savage with a rock can take out a modern tank commander, with a little luck.

    An F-18 would play hell taking out a Camel with a missile, a wooden plane with a piston engine would have a tiny heat or radar signature.

    Viet Cong regularly took out U.S. jets with the "golden BB" shots.

    If you have never read it, look up a Clarke short story called "Superiority".

    I really don't think that the public is ready to handle NASA's 1965 analisys of Kecksburg PA.

    Let's say NASA came to the conclusion a UFO crashed there.

    Some people would not believe it. Some would think the revelation was a conspiracy. Many others would just grip their bibles and squeeze their eyes shut.

    Some would panic. They would kill themselves or run naked through the streets. Big deal.

    Since popular culture has prepared us for THE EVENT, most people would just accept it.

    I don't think the "end of the world" scenario holds water anymore.

    Now excuse me while I adjust my tinfoil hat...
