I totally agree with you AND Gary! I also feel my best when eating HEALTHY low carb! Have you heard of the Liberation Diet? It is basically a healthy low carb way of eating consuming very healthy fats, oils, proteins, etc. An excellent read and I've always known pork rinds and Aspartame were NOT a healthy way to go, like Atkins says!
Congrats on the major loss!!! Took me 7 months to lose 50 lbs [Atkins then hHCG], but with all my health issues including hypothyroidism and years of yo-yo dieting it's a miracle I was able to actually lose weight at all. Still got 50 more pounds to go, too!!!
