1. Why did you choose eating lowcarb?

I mentioned to a co-worker that I needed to lose some weight and he suggested I check out the Protein Power plan. At the time I was on a cholesterol-lowering drug so I asked my doctor what he thought of the protein diets and he said that they had been shown to improve your lipids so I went for it.

2. How long have you been lowcarb?

Almost a year know.

3. What have been your results?

I have lost 50lbs and dropped my BF% from 30% to 10%. I no longer take the cholesterol-lowering drug and my BP and heart rate are in the very athletic range when before I started they were getting near the high limit.

4. How difficult is making lowcarb a lifestyle change?

It was very easy for me as I have always liked meat.

5. Would you consider a lowfat/highcarb lifestyle?

No way, bin there done that and it worked(for weight loss) as long as I was running 3 miles every other day but my knees started to give me problems so I had to stop running. It also was causing my elevated cholesterol and most likely was putting me at risk of developing diabetes(runs in the family).
