or search out or buy special food for my self. I wasn’t dieting, I was just limiting. It doesn’t work for everyone, I know, and I know there are people with good medical reasons for Atkins. But you might want to try...

I’ve been considering doing the Atkins diet for some time. I have two friends who have done well on it, but gained it all right back when they stopped. And I met one guy that told me he lost 50 pounds and is doing fine. But...

Any chance of a board for special diets so people could share low carb, low sodium, low fat etc information?

Hi. I won’t go into the boring details but I am on a special diet for one week. Friday is what they call a “treat day”. I am allowed lean beef ( two ten ounce portions) and six tomatoes. Herbs and spices seem OK....

I worked in hospital/rehab, where soft & puree diets were a mainstay. First rule is : almost ANYTHING can be blended. Use a good blender or food processor to get the texture he needs. Use stock or water to thin, potato flakes to...

Your other posts didn’t look like they got you very far. Hope these recs help, they’re my diet choices: A Votre Sante (Bev Hills and Brentwood) specializes in healthy and low carb fare. The menu is marked with items...

Of all the frozen low cal/diet foods on the market like Lean Cuisine etc, which ones are fairly palatable and which ones would you avoid at all costs? I’m not familiar with any of them but would like to lose a few pounds...

special diets, though. I’ll be curious to hear if you come across any other info, as I am looking too. Oh, I just remembered, in a back issue of Living Without, they profiled an all-inclusive with GF offerings. Sorry I...

Can’t beat those chicken specials at Brachs. Its getting to the point that I have a hard time buying raw chickens. Brachs is charging $2.50/lb for raw chicken which makes it $7.50 for a 3 pound bird. For another 50 cents...

Many fans of the low carb/Atkins diet have no trouble sticking to the plan but then too they’re not chowhounds. Any of you have any special favorite foods or deli/restaurant ideas you recommend to add some variety? This is...

Chowhound has separate boards for wine, beer, AND spirits but none at all for special dietary considerations in cooking. Some of us might like to request or share information re low carb, low sodium, low fat, low calorie, high...

a very strict special diet, and other health requirements. they’re fine when they’re at home— but they may not realize the extent to which they’ve adapted. the restaurant certainly doesn’t have the...

Got all excited at my local Ralph’s (Eastbluff – Newport Beach) when I saw the big Snapple sale & stacks of 4 & 12 packs. Alas, no diet lime green tea. Has anyone sighted it at a Ralph’s that’s not too far...

where has kosher diet coke? does it exist? now i’m not sure one can even get kosher diet coke, i know the reugular cokes that are kosher for passover are made with sugar intstead of crappy high fructose corn syprup?

. I don’t think it is healthy though. Those who start Atkins tend, at the first stage of the diet, to feast on all the forbidden fat food that they allowed themselves eating only on special occasions. I, as well as several...
