Welcome to my page!
Bear with me, I'm still getting this page going, so it's a bit small at the moment. Hopefully it will grow as I shrink! I'm in the process of losing a LOT of weight using the Atkins diet as a way of changing my lifestyle. If you've never heard of Atkins, it's a diet that eliminates processed sugar, and limits starches while allowing a higher percentage of fat than most diets. I know it has a reputation as a "fad" diet, but it started the changes that grew into a better lifetstyle for me. I jokingly call my lifestlyle "farmer's market Atkins", because I try to stick to a diet of locally grown produce,fish, and grassfed or pastured/free range meats and eggs. I add to that nuts and seeds, organic dairy, and a very limited amount of low carb baked products, and the occasionaly protein shakes when I'm in a rush or get home starving.
I also bike everywhere for transportation so I get my excercise in.
