I strongly encourage reading Taubes' book. It's enlightening, and much more of a page-turner than you'd think. (Easier still, do a search for his stories in the NYT, if you haven't already read them.)
And know that it's a bitch for about a week, then becomes much easier than you'd think. The vigor you feel is a big motivator. Seriously, I all of a sudden felt like I'd gotten younger.
Jeff Wrangler:
Any idea how Taubes' ideas compare to Atkins?

Thanks for your insightful post, Katharine, and congrats, K and Chuck! I am so thrilled to hear about my friends getting healthy.
I follow much the same diet, K, although I do eat whole grains and fruit. I wonder, what do you eat for breakfast? That seems to me to be the most problematic meal of the day.
Exercising doesn't make me want to eat more. You would think it would make you hungry but for some reason it doesn't have that effect on me. In fact, sometimes after exercising I just feel like skipping dinner altogether. I'm told that exercising releases "feel good" endorphins in your brain similar to those you get when you eat a satisfying meal.

I was kind of wondering what a typical day's worth of eating on this sort of diet might be like.

I have noticed on occasion when I go to the gym after work that I can go in hungry and come out not. Also, I can go in tired and come out not. Go figure. :-\
