Hello everybody
Greetings! I've been LCing on and off for a few years now, and I sure wish I had found this forum before. Reading the postings has been great, and I don't think I've ever seen such a supportive group in my life.
I first tried Atkins after getting frustrated training for a marathon. With the running books all recommending 60-75% of calories from carbs, I was going nuts gaining weight while running more and more. I've restarted this fall after a job change, and I'm really hoping to reach my goal.
A friend gave me the DANDR, which explained my situation perfectly. Not long thereafter my father told me he had been diagnosed with diabetes, and (oh by the way) my uncle was diabetic too. So, LC is my woe and hopefully a diabetes prevention program.
Wow- long post from a newbie. Sorry! Looking forward to hanging around in the future.
