Question about ratios....

sweetchick · 01-08-2007, 12:00 PM

I know this is not a diet of ratios, but I am wondering how yours look. Phase 1 and Phase 2. I do have the book, and the dining out guide, and the good carbs bad carbs books so I do know what I am supposed to eat, just wondering how 'experts' who have done this diet look.

I am currently 118 and did lose weight after my last baby doing low-fat then did a complete about face to Atkins. I have muddled here and there with weight watchers points, then core, and recently bought YOU on a diet.

I guess I am looking at a healthy maintanance plan. I have now been 118 for over 3 yrs baring a slip in the summer that took me up 12lbs, and have been down to 107. I like where I am and want a 'healthy' way of eating. I do feel better with egg beaters and veggie omelets rather than eggs and sausage. So I have gravitated to SB syle of eating. I enjoy non-fat plain yo-cheese with davinci. I guess I am just wondering how everyone elses ratios look as mine seem to be around 40 carb/40 protein/ 20 fat, sometimes the fat gets higher...what about you all??

Thanks in advance, Jane

hi Jane,
I have no idea about my ratios...I just wanted to say hi and welcome!!

Hi, Jane and

I don't think of us really look at ratios. We just eat according to plan and everything works out fine. Our whole family eats this way. I hope that you will stick around and post on the check-in. You could be of great benefit to newcomers.

Thank you for the welcome Jeannie and Rose

I would love to stick around. I got the SB 200 recipes book last week for 6.99 -hardcover!!! so I plan on reading through that today.

Again thanks for the welcome, I'm looking forward to getting to 'know' everyone

Where did you find it for $6.99? Is that about the cost that it sells for, or is that an extra good buy? I need to get out and buy myself one. Santa forgot to leave one in my stocking!

I got it at Chapters/borders/indigo books on line. The inside cover says $25.95 US/$36.95 CDN. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post a link but you could easily find it. HTH!!!

Wow, what a great deal. I just keep it out on permanent loan from the library.
