I was going to pass on this thread because I never needed to lose weight until now. But, I naturally ate low carb when I was skinny. I was one of those kids who were teased about being too skinny. I was not a bread or pasta eater. Doughnuts made me gag. So as I reflect on my old way of eating and why it made me skinny. I also recall times when I had no appetite, probably because I was in ketosis all that time. So, unknowingly, I was doing Atkins and now I am relearning it.
