Just wanted to see if anyone here has noticed a significant change in their swim times after losing a decent amount of weight (at least 35 or 40 pounds). Did you notice minor time drops or major time drops after you lost the weight? Or did your times stay the same?

The topic of weight loss and low carb vs low fat has been hotly debated several times on this board, and I guess most of you know that I advocate the low carb diet because that is what worked for me. What most of you all don't know about me, is that given a choice between eating a traditional meal with meat and a few veggies or just a veggie plate or salad, I would opt for the veggie plate/salad every time. So don't get me wrong I'm not advocating and never have advocated eating nothing but protien (and neither does Atkins if you read and study his book) For those of you old enough to remember a time before WW and other popular diet gurus, think back to what your parents and grandparents did to lose weight. They cut back on breads, sweets, potatoes and rice. And there you go... a low carb/calorie diet. Granted its not as low as Atkins, but it is still lower carbs. And those of you old enough to remember WW from the early 70's think about it... consumption of breads, potatoes, rice, those high carb kinda foods were very limited each day. There was a group of foods that were 'unlimited'. Guess what they were? Low carb veggies. So yeah, I agree with Bill eat those fruits and vegatables and get your carbs that way.
