I had been putting off telling my dad about my new WOL because I was afraid of what he would say. (37 and still need my parent's approval - go figure). Much to my shock and suprise, he was happy that I was doing this and very encouraging. Told me to keep it up. I couldn't have been happier.

The reason I was worried is because he's a doctor - pretty much an old- fashioned type.

I explained all the metabolic reasoning and so forth and he agreed that it sounds plausible. I even tried to get him to try it since he's a diabetic with some heart problems. I'll keep working on it because I'd love to see my dad get healthy.
