New to this website, hi all!

Raynbow · 06-24-2007, 04:09 PM

I'm happy to have found this site. I was up til 3:15 a.m. reading it this morning. Good thing today wasn't a work day!

-I had almost gone ahead with gastric bypass surgery as a last resort when I decided to give low carb a go and was thrilled to find out about Kimkins because I always had issues with the high fat Atkins plan. For me anyway, I just could not get past the high saturated fat thing being good for my body. Kimkins is more in line with the way I love to eat. The most amazing part for me was that I am not hungry. as in NOT. What a shock. Everytime I did any other "diet" I was always hungry. The more carbs I had the hungrier I got. Even WW with all their promoting sugar-free goodies like their one point cakes, etc., it just sent me into a tailspin. I could never stick to them. I was absolutely consumed with hunger. This WOE is so wonderful! I'm down 27 lbs. in just over a month. If anyone had told me I could leave sugar behind, and leave bread behind and all of that, I never would have believed it. This is awesome.

I have a question - how do you know the carb count for fiber, like flaxseed or psyllium? What do others use - any suggestions?

Thanks. You seem like a bunch of really supportive, fun, and great people.

Welcome Raynbow. I hope you find what you need here.

I am not doing low carb anymore, but I still come here to read, learn, and be entertained. I am doing weight watchers now.

There are many people on here that are very knowledgeable and I am sure will offer great advice.

Good luck!!

. Wishing u continued success.

Hello! I am not sure about all forms of fiber but I take the wal-mart brand of psyllium husk fiber caps and they are 3 carbs each but I subtract the fiber which is 3 carbs so it equals 0

. Hope this helps. Congratulations on your outstanding weight loss-KUTGW!

The store at www.t-tapp.com has an amazing fiber supplement called Fibertox. Works incredibly well and is not addictive.

HTH!

Hi,

I have yet to purchase Kimkins (but need to - I have an underactive thyroid) however I am based in Australia. Is there anyone out there that knows if the foods can be replaced by another, for example:

There was a mention of Diet Dr. Pepper drinks on the Kimkins website - we dont have that out here - is there a replacement?

Also, I am allergic to Splenda, do most of the foods have Splenda in it?

Are there any Aussies out there that are doing this diet?

Kind regards and thank you,
Taloola

Raynbow · 06-26-2007, 03:57 AM

Thanks for all your "welcome"s! And a big welcome to Tatoola too. I hope you find lots of good info here. I just might be addicted to this website! I had to have half of my thyroid removed and Kimkins works for me, and many others too. I love diet Dr. Pepper, but you can use any diet soft drinks as far as I can tell. Not everything is sweetened with Splenda. You have to read all the packaging on everything. I don't know about Australia but here lots of manufacturers still use aspartame if your body tolerates that better.
