I've been on a low carb diet for two years.
I lost 30 lbs and that's good enough for me!
I had to give up beer, but switched to a wee bit of Scotch whisky.
Cut way back on bread, and am eating more veggies.
My blood sugar and colesteral (SP?) as well as blood pressure dropped greatly.
Plus, i seem to have more energy.
Works for me! Virgil B.
