I was trying to skim through some of the material and I noticed a lot about making sure that food choices are "balanced" appropriately for weight loss and feelings of wellness. I am already feeling much better on Atkins, but I am curious about this other Low Carb method/philosophy. Please enlighten me, if you would.
