Fact: I reached my lowest-ever adult weight when I ate less and moved more. Ate a LOT less, moved a LOT more. As many of these diet diss-ers have pointed out, this is not a sustainable method of weight management for 99% of the people. It "stopped working" for me. That is, I dropped out from mental exhaustion. Then I began taking Dr. Atkins at his word.

Having sustained LC for most of the last sixteen years plus, along with a regular habit of exercise of various kinds, I'm pretty happy. I don't "eat less." I don't "move more" (more than whom, what, or when? I might ask). I just remember to take care of myself in what seems to be a healthy way. It's good.
