 Of Weeds & Wild Things I've been doing low carb for a while now, originally as a modification of a semi-raw foods diet (raw fruits and veggies with lots of cooked meat included) which worked really well for me and helped me to realize that grains were not my friend. However, I found the raw foods to be too cooling for my already fried endocrine system. While I lost forty pounds in six months on that diet, I stalled out at three pounds below my current weight, and slowly gained these three. With heart disease and diabetes on both sides of my family I'm less concerned about weight than overall health. I prescribe low carb eating to my clients with insulin resistance and use it myself. But hey, if I get a little closer to my goal weight while eating good food, that's a very happy thing. I'm an herbalist with a special love for wild foods and food as medicine. I'm Appalachian by birth but New Mexican by choice. I live on an 80 acre botanical and women's sanctuary in the Gila Wilderness. Anyhow, I like the feel on this forum and easy going attitude most seem to have here. Look forward to meeting all of you.
