Man, I have this problem with becoming (mildly, I hope) obsessed with one thing or another. My current obsession? Low Carb. I know, I know, I can practically hear the collective groan. But screw you all! The low fat, low calorie, point counting, pre-packaged meal, cabbage soup diets have taken up WAY too much of my life and only made me fatter. All I know is that I feel better, I'm losing weight, and my skin looks surprisingly good. Could it be that all the broccoli and protein are replenishing the nutrients these other diets have robbed me of? Perhaps. We shall see.
And the fact of the matter is, I don't think it's a fad this time. I've been enviously watching the in-laws enjoy their nearly a decade of low carbing, and the transformation has been incredible. I look at them now and think "who the heck were those people in pink and gray in my wedding pictures?" They've lost years of illness and look so much younger it's crazy.
It's my turn, baby! I've been doing it for over two weeks, and would you believe I have yet to eat even a single bite of bacon? Yup, on Atkins and everything!
But I HAVE been consuming ridiculous amounts of LC blogs and forums. I've got a problem, really!
