[Saamrth]

hey a very good video a true thing

i have some questions about my maintainence plan

i need to lose 25 lbs more to reach my goal already lost 105 lbs

i am an indian and a staple food in indian diet is a bread known chapati mostly eaten with cooked vegetables and curry

would i be able to introduce it in my diet again its a whole wheat bread and

the weight of a chapati cooked in my house is 30g please if could tell something about it

and what about counting calories on maintainence phase

[Esoparagon]

Start my day with 6 eggs minimum.

[mensacyclist]

I just started eating eggs at age 40!! My mother used to try to force them down my throat as a kid and the whole experience led to an irrational hatred of eggs. but I decided I had to give them a fair shot in the name of nutrition. Turns out I love them (scrammbled only at this point). I've gone from zero eggs for decades to 5-9 a day. The really do kill the appetite in a nice natural sort of way. I'll be making up for lost decades of egg consumption...trust me. Eggs rule!!!

[livinlowcarbman]

AWESOME!  Rock on!

[Ohiotrucker123]

I saw your story on the atkins website thought I wound check out your u-tub stuff. I am getting ready to start it. 20grams of carbs a day. I am a truck driver so I think I will be bring alot of my own food. Is there anything you can think of that might help me, with being on the road all the time? thanks

[livinlowcarbman]

Portable foods are a must for truck drivers and finding low-carb ones aren't difficult if you know what to get. Try string cheese, pork rinds, pepperoni slices, Atkins bars and shakes, beef sticks and jerky, and baked cheese crisps. If you have a small cooler, you could pack luncheon meats and cheeses, yogurt, hardboiled eggs, etc. Check out CarbSmart dote come for more great low-carb ideas!

[bigwhey]

I love eggss!!! I also like like placing hard boiled ones in a jar of juice from store bought pickled beets. Pickled beets have alot of sugar but how many grams would the juice add to the pickled eggs?? thanks

[MichelleKolbe]

I love you guys...very imformative and fun to watch...entertaining

[livinlowcarbman]

We appreciate you watching!

[SmirkingRevenge77]

Jimmy have you read The Great Cholesterol Con by Anthony Colpo? It's a great read. Have a good day.

[livinlowcarbman]

Yep, it's an awesome book and I've blogged about it many times at my blog. Colpo is an interesting fella and I don't agree with him on everything. But he's got some excellent info in TGCC. :D

[dougiewylie]

hey handsome

dont u get tired when you work out

[livinlowcarbman]

Nope! I eat a healthy low-carb diet which keeps me fueled up well enough to stay energized throughout my workouts.

[girlondyinglotus]

ya'll are so funny!

[livinlowcarbman]

Why thank ya dahlin'!  :P

[tryn2hope]

Congats on your weight loss Christine! Jimmy I am so blown away at the amount of weight you have lost and kept off. At one time I low carbed it and lost 130 but life got hard and I gained it all back. Your you tubes are helping me find hope again.

[livinlowcarbman]

You can do it again tryn2hope! You REALLY can if you get back on plan, follow that plan exactly, and then keep doing that plan for the rest of your life. It's why I was successful and I encourage you to MAKE IT HAPPEN!!! I'm here for you to support your efforts.

[imnxrayr]

Mmmm, eggs!! They are the best part about the low carb way of eating....especially cooked in BUTTER!!!! I beleive the research. I was constantly hungry on the lowfat/high carb diet. That is why I always failed. I hate that hungry feeling. Now I have to remind myself to eat sometimes. Thanks again for the awesome info.

BTW, is there any way I can get my copy of Livin' La Vida Low Carb signed.

Take Care,

Jodi (quest4health)

[livinlowcarbman]

Can't live without my eggs--cooked in butter, coconut oil, and even lard. SO HEALTHY! ;) The hunger issue is what doomed me on my low-fat diet, too. UGH! Nevermore! I'd love to autograph my book for you, Jodi. Feel free to e-mail me at livinlowcarbman at charter dot net.

[Tami718]

The encredible edible egg....

Happy Halloween Jimmy and Christine,

Tami

[livinlowcarbman]

BOO!  THANKS Tami!

[MOMMY826]

Thanks for the up to date info on eggs! I'm a nurse and boy do I get grief about living lo carb!!!! But it works!!! And despite my slow downs due to my thyroid, I still continue to eat lo carb and not give up. I haven't been able to find time to exercise this time on atkins (I did great with it before). Should I cut some of the calories I am consuming along with the lo carb, like eat more salad and stuff? I can't seem to go above 25-30 grams per day.

[livinlowcarbman]

Hey Mommy826! I wish more nurses and health professionals would have the positive attitude about livin' la vida low-carb that you do. I too have to keep my carbs pretty low, but eating more fatty foods helps with satiety and gives you the fuel your body needs. I never count calories.

[emsilv68pr]

I love Eggs too! The Sept 2007 issue of Scientific American is a special issue : Diet, Health and the Food Supply. On page 66 it has an article stating that Atkins beats Zone, Ornish and US Diet adivce. Atkins had bested the competition. Thank you for another motivating and funny video, God Bless :O) -Elaine

[livinlowcarbman]

THANKS Elaine! I saw that study out of Stanford University about Atkins beating all the rest. It was published in the March 2007 issue of the prestigious Journal of the American Medical Association. Wake up people! This is a HEALTHY way to eat and it's time everyone knows it!

[iluvmy4blessings]

Loving your videos. I switched to low carb this week from weight watchers and it has made a huge difference in my cravings.

I would like to know if you subtract fiber from carbs to get a carb count. I've talked to some who say it hinders their weight loss so they don't subtract it for counting. Love your input!

[livinlowcarbman]

Welcome to the wonderful world of livin' la vida low-carb, iluvmy4blessings! It's the best thing that ever happened to me beside marrying that cute girl sitting beside me in the video. As for fiber, yes I subtract it because your body does not digest it as carbohydrate. THANKS for watching!

[Alis1200]

Well, up till now I was worried about the amount of eggs I have been eating!! Usually I have around 4 a day! Thanks for the info. Did you ever think of this... poultry is the only type of protien we eat before it is born and after it is dead!! mmmm Still waiting for the stall to be over but enjoying eggs and low carb!!

[livinlowcarbman]

Hey Alis1200! Eggs are indeed an integral part of a healthy lifestyle, so keep eating them. Glad to see I'm not the only one who loves eggs. Never thought about the poultry question...interesting! As for the stall, just keep at it. This too shall pass! THANKS for watching!

[tiparker119]

Always look forward to your weekly videos. They keep getting better each week. Thanks for sharing your valuable knowledge and info to the rest of us who is trying to live a more healthly lifestyle. I must say, Christine is really "styling" with the new hairstyle. Real "purdy"..!!!

[livinlowcarbman]

THANK YOU tiparker119! We have loads of fun doing these videos and can hardly wait to do them for you. I get to act all crazy while talking about my favorite subject--LOW-CARB! We'll be off next week for vacation, but we'll be back! :D

[ltreed]

[lcdmt1]

Great job Christine and great video. You two are egg-solent! ;-)

Mark

[livinlowcarbman]

THANKS, Mark! We appreciate your most EGG-citing commentary on our videos. :P

[LowcarbDave]

Congrats on the weight loss Christine! Below your GOAL! FANTASTIC!

[livinlowcarbman]

THANKS Dave! I'll let Christine know about your comments. Appreciate your feedback! Crikey, eh mate? :P

[mrniceguy28431]

I love eggs.  Great start to a day. Good video

[livinlowcarbman]

THANKS MrNiceGuy! Eggs are pretty awesome and I wouldn't think of ever removing them from my diet. If people would just get the message that the cholesterol they EAT does not make their cholesterol go up, then maybe we can make some progress in the health of people just like you and me. KEEP AT IT, BUDDY! :)

[Beijingtao]

As always great info! Christine, love the hair! I just went low carb today, wish me luck!

[livinlowcarbman]

WOW, fast comment Beijingtao! THANKS for watching! Christine got that cutesy haircut yesterday and LOVES it. Makes her look like a teeny bopper again and she's turning 35 in a few weeks. Ooops, did I just say that out loud? LOL!
