Thoughts on low carb diets...
I remember many years ago when low carbing was the thing to do. Everyone hopped on the bandwagon including myself without even do much and doing research to find out really what it was all about.

Motivational
Let's meet Frank! How many of us have started a fitness/health journey only to stop because we either didn't see immediate results or we got bored with what we were doing?
