I am relatively thin-but at one time I had an addition 30 pounds packed on my frame.

In 2005 I joined the low carb lifestyle and developed a program that works ok for me, (although I have fallen off a few times), I have always gotten back on the horse before I have had too much weight gain.......

My overweight friends tell me how lucky I am to have a 'hummingbird metabolism'.......

I have told them many times that I keep myself on a strict low carb lifestyle and that I also somewhat restrict quantity.......

This always falls on deaf ears....

Eat everything within a 5 hour window in the mornings and then fast for 19 hours. I think this fits my lifestyle and I'd rather not have to make myself eat.

I returned to the low carb way of eating on July 10th, 2009. I've been reading a lot of research on various websites and lurking around many of the message boards. I think I finally have a pretty good understanding of the "High fat, Low carb" WOE. I feel confident that a VLC plan works best for me. I realize that this WOE is not the "norm" for most people but I try to research anything that I am interested in and I also pray about it.. I believe in included God in everything. He created this body...and He knows what is best for it. So far I'm feeling great, energy level has...
