Agreed. I'm back to my lean, mean, high school weight again, 22 years later. I couldn't be happier. I thought I'd never see it again. I've been 20-30 lbs. overweight for ten years, despite daily exercise. I ate waaaaaay too many carbs, doing the low-fat thing.
It's worth mentioning that adopting the Atkins lifestyle results in increased energy and mental acuity. And reduced cravings for high-carb, junk food.
God bless him. Who knows how many lives he's saved by reducing the number of cases of heart attacks and of diabetes.
I'd love to get back to the weight I was when we married. I'm actually not that far from it, but I've hit a mark that won't seem to move no matter what I try. Being on a high carb/low fat diet for years hasn't done much for me. It's just so hard to believe that all the (supposedly bad) stuff I've avoided all this time could actually help me lose weight....
