Nice to meet you too daisy. Welcome to the forum.

I am just a plain old convert to low carb eating. Not a Dr. of medicine, not a nutritionist (poor souls). I am an avid reader and a born sceptic who was not satisfied with the "do it because the book says so" I have always wanted to know why. I am the proverbial doubting thomas.

I have proved to myself that reducing carbohydrate intake is not only right for me but is scientifically sound also.

Moreover this is a dicussion forum and I would not dream of giving medical advice. I hope that by passing on some of the research that I have read, having first hand experience, and looking for mutual support that posting here both helps me( I have learnt a lot of good stuff from the the old hands on this forum) and may help others.

I am also rude, objectionable and have absolutely no sense of humour, and make coasters out of used ketostix!
