The day before yesterday, my husband said the words I have been wanting to hear from him, "I want to start eating the way you do. The low carb diet. I just don't feel very good and see how it helps you."

You see he does not need to lose any weight. He is VERY active so no need to worry there either. But he loves his sweets, chips, regular milk (though I really can't see him giving that up), bread, potatoes and that would be about it.

So, here I am, a year and two weeks into low-carbing for the second time in my life, and I have lost a total of 93 pounds!!!
