I realized about ten years ago that carbs were causing me trouble with my blood sugar levels. I ignored the symptoms, however a pharmacist told me that I could fight the symptoms with a little protein. Then, little by little I begn hearing about eating low carb meals could help one to lose weight ( I began putting on weight soon after I had a horrible drop in blood glucose ). Then, last year a news cast was on tv about the Atkins "Diet" and how it proved to be better than the American Heart Association's diet. That is when I took action, began further research, reading, exploring until...Eureka Mr. Watson, this is elementary!!! The more I read about it the more it makes, crystal clear, sense to me. DH is impressed with my accomplishment and knowledge on the subject and wants me to go into business with this knowledge. I don"t know how I would do that?! But every piece of information is a piece of enlightenment.
