Yes, thanks, S_D  [smiley=thumbup.gif]

I went low carb a little over two years ago. I was way overweight and about to turn 49, and thought I'd better do something about it. Low carb, and back to they gym; and two years later I'm down more than 100 pounds. So I can tell you, for me, anyway, it works. The exercise piece is critical for me, but the low carb thing really works.

I haven't paid much attention to it on the two canoe trips I've done since I started this, other than not using syrup on my pancakes or jelly with the peanut butter. Didn't gain weight on either trip.  :)

As for the poll, we're mostly a 3, with a little 4 thrown in. All meals are packaged and labeled separately -- Tuesday dinner, Wednesday lunch, etc. There are separate containers for all of the breakfasts, lunches and dinners, with the generic stuff (oil, butter, etc) split among the three containers. Pretty organized, and works well.  ;)
