When I commenced low-carbing I noticed something that I had not before on any diet: I lost weight starting at the breastbone and going downward. The first inkling that I was low-carbing is that my bra strap around my torso was loosening up. I was one of those people who packed the fat on in and around my chest (very bad and that's why the stroke at age 46). Low fat dieting didn't remove it like low-carbing has. This gives me yet one more reason as to how beneficial low-carbing really is (as though I needed any more convincing).
