Default A new recruit!

I actually did it! After a few weeks of constant hints to my wife she has finally converted from the lo fat diet to the lo carb wol. First you should know that my wife has a very severe case of scorisis. When we returned from our trip to Vegas she developed a worse type of scorisis that could of killed her. Now she is forced to take a horrible medication which is also used by transplant patients so they don't reject their organ transplant. This medication is very scarry since it basically shuts down your immune system. Well I kept learning more and more about the benefits of the lo carb wol and shared my new knowledge with my wife. I was constantly giving her subtle hints that she should convert. Today she told me she would talk to her dermatoligist and see what she thought of the idea of converting. Her doctor was all for the idea to convert, she reccomended the Atkins diet to my wife and told her about all of the great benefits of following a lo carb diet (Of course they were the same benefits I have been sharing with my wife for the last few weeks!) The main benefit for my wife was not just the weight loss but the fact that the diet is good for maintaing healthy skin.
I am happy that my wife has seen the light and now we can share our lo carb wol experiences together.
