OMG! I’m on that site. “Elle” The baby in the picture, Jonathan, is now 8 years old! I probably weighed about 135-140 in that picture and thought I was a cow. Sheesh.

Ellen, just click on the “Forums” link at the top of the main http://www.proteinpower.com page — several of the people on the PPPPics site are right there. Still posting. Still controlling carbs.

Mike, I’ve just tried to upload a pic, and Levi asked for Steph’s contact info. So we’ll both be trying to reach out to them. I’ll also suggest to them that you’d consider maintaining the pictures site as part of this one.

Thanks very much. Keep me posted.

Oregon Health Sciences University, Portland

Sorry, but I don’t know anyone practicing low-carb medicine in that neck of the woods. That doesn’t mean that there isn’t someone, just that I don’t know him/her if there is. Any help from readers?

Eric is a friend of mine from back in the Arkansas days – he was my first computer guru. Haven’t seen or heard from him in years, though.

Off topic, and you’ve probably answered this one before; blame my poor powers of search. How can I find physicians who will treat obesity the way you would? I’m near a major research university, if that helps any. Thanks!

I keep swearing that I’m going to get around to putting up a page that lists physicians by location. But I haven’t done so yet. I think Jimmy Moore does have such a page on his website. What is the major research university you are near?

Hi, Mike. Re: TA’s comment that “It is a scam, I see sites like this all the time for my book…”, TA is off-base and PPPPics is not a scam.
Steph is the person who created “Steph’s Yummy Chicken Stuff”, one of the forum’s most used recipes. She’s a member of the current board. Unfortunately, as noted by others, they have lots of other sites, and maintaining the PPPPics site isn’t their highest priority (they also have a baby who is by now going into kindergarten, and race and build racecars, so they’ve got full plates.) I can certainly relate; during the last half of this last chemo, I didn’t update my blog for about two months.

I can try to upload a pic and see if the site is still accepting pics; I can also shoot Steph a PM or email. We have always included a link to PPPPics from the “Getting Started”/Important links forum on the current board.

Hey Pat–

That would be great. If you know them and could contact them. It’s a great site, and I would love to have it more active. Tell them I’ll be happy to link to it. Or if they don’t want to fool with it, I could simply take it over and make it a part of our website.

Thanks–

Mike

Ohio Dr Mike! Thats hello again in Japanese! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I missed your posts. I was a very goog girl and behaved at the Holiday table. I even indulged on polish kielbasa, italina sausage, steaks and turkey of course. The only setback was few beers. But hey, it was low carb beer! It tasted it too. My husband said it tasted like chewed up gum, he is weird! I second Vadim’s comment on having you on a video blog! That would be such a great idea! And Vadim, by the way you are insane! I read on your blog that you declare war on fat cells and emotional monster? And you swore in front of your low carb friends to treat your friends ( heart, liver and so on ) with respect for the next 30 days. Ok, I will belive it when I see it.

Dr Mike are you a big proponent of fat fasts? My weight has stalled for the past two weeks, and Vadim suggested doing fast fast. I have never heard it. The idea is to eat almost o carbs for few weeks. How effective is it and will I feel lethargic doing it?

I haven’t a clue as to whether you’ll feel lethargic or not. I’m not that big a fan of fat fasts, but some people swear by them. All you can do is give it a whirl and see what happens.

It’s not a scam – my photo is there and it was started on the old Protien Power web site several years ago. I can’t recall who started it, but it was something that was promoted from the Protien Power community boards.

Dr. Eades, I don’t know who owns the site now, but it wasn’t a scam. My pictures from my first round with PP are on there, along with a lot of the moderators and members from the old eatprotein.com board (I’m BethB and my goal weight photos aren’t there). I agree the before and after pictures are amazing!

No, it’s not a scam. I just didn’t realize it was still out there.
