It took me until Wednesday to get into ketosis (but I messed up the very first day out the gate and had a beer at a friend's football party- so that was my fault).

Today we do a lot to "carbs" that make them unlike anything you would find our ancestors eating even 100 years ago. I am currently doing Atkins, but before that (and once I reach my goal weight) I was…

Ok, Thanks! It helps to hear it from someone who has some experience with someone else doing it- I was a kid when my parents did atkins and I remember eggs every day for breakfast (and hating it) but now that I'm older I can't remember what else they did so I have the book and am carving my own path out. I didn't know that…
