When people were shunning carbs, I was always quick to defend them. But as I'm getting older, and researching more about what I eat, I am beginning to realize that maybe I should not have been so quick to defend. Recently I have begun to adjust my eating - and I'm not talking about anything drastic like cutting out every last carb and subsisting on cheese, bacon and eggs - but I am making an effort to look at not only the fat grams and cholesterol, but the also of the amount of carbs that any food item contains.With a wealth of resources out there about "low carb diets" telling me what I should eat and shouldn't eat, I found many of them a little too structured for my liking. Then I was referred to a site called "Healthy Low-Carb Living" which is really more of a guide for people who are interested in adopting a low-carb lifestyle. The site is not only inspirational (check out their story and progressive weight loss pictures), but it is informative in the way that it offers you choices of low-carb plans and doesn't try to squeeze everyone into one plan. It is also full of resources - links to cookbooks, food products, etc., - tips and, my personal favorite, a tools page that has a hidden carbs calculator and a link to the USDA nutritional database (where you can find nutrition information about almost any food out there). One last fun item is their blog, where they keep you up to date on the latest low carb foods, findings and more.
Low-carb living is a lifestyle, not a diet, and the Healthy Low-Carb Living website is my favorite resource for helping me transition to this new way of life.

hi there. i am a disgruntled traveler at a Sofitel hotel who asked what brand the egg whites were and was told that the egg whites were egg beaters, which is not what I buy at home. i can't believe that a high end hotel like this doesn't carry eggology. i am really careful about my diet and exercise and believe that you are what you eat...who can i contact at eggology to see what hotels carry eggology??
TravelingTeacher: Great question! We thought that other Eggology customers would be interested in the answer so we featured your question in our "Ask The Eggspert" section. Read the entire post here.
