I had/have two primary motivations. The first, was my father passing away of a heart attack at the age of 54. His brother died at 56. I look a lot like my dad too.

The second, was getting divorced and wanting to trap, I mean find, another wife. Which I was successful at. And she's a low carber at that!

The getting divorced actually facilitated my new diet, because I was by myself and could eat what and when I wanted.
