  • I've been slow carbing since Oct 2015 and I feel remarkably good. I don't have a medical diagnosis but I think it's clear, based on how much better I started feeling almost right away, that my body was completely screwed up from my sugar/carb junkie diet.

  • Have you tried yoga? In less than a year yoga (hot / power / vinyasa yoga) took me from where I was stuck for a couple years - in the 140s - to my ideal weight of 130.

That's right; tonight as I'm cooking, I plan to snack on IDEAS, not extra food! It's very motivating and inspiring to hear how so many of you have dealt with the exact issues I'm…
