I'm in the Army - we don't have a choice...

Actually, what led me to understand the problems of high carb/low fat diets was when I decided to train for a marathon about 5 years ago. I started following the high carb recommendations in the running magazines, but regardless of how much running I did, I either put on the pounds or at least didn't lose anything. Very frustrating!

The light went on when a friend introduced me to DANDR. Unfortunately I fell off the wagon a bit since my initial successes, but I'm back on board now. This time around, I'm making full use of the nearby gym, both weights and elliptical machine. Can't do the marathon thing because I blew my knee out the last time.
