Ok, here's my story...when I became diabetic about a year ago, I went low carb crazy & dropped 65 lbs. in a few months...late last year I noticed that my blood sugars seemed to be back in control & I've gone back to including a few more carbs in my diet, & I seem to be maintaining well. I've been over #200 since I was in my teens, peaked out at #280 a few years back (I'm 5'11" now...lost a half inch already in my old age) I now weigh #170, 36" waist is a little loose on me now (that hasn't happened since I was 15). I love going low-carb since I love burgers, bacon, sausage, eggs...my cholesteral is good, my blood pressure is normal (that's very unusual in my family history), my only problem is a lot of loose skin now, my arms & legs look too skinny...well, I have this disc prob in my back now, but that's a different story altogether...
One point I have to make about Adkins, everybody talks about it like it's a new fad diet because so many have jumped on the bandwagon now, but it's been around for many years...I used the original Adkins to drop a few pounds back in '76...
