I went in and read the 14 page Preface of Banting's brochure - fascinating stuff and nothing much has changed in over 130 years. He suffered the ridicule and bad press that Atkins now gets. I'll read further another day.

Our doctor is extremely happy with my husband's weight loss and when I said "Did you tell him that we're low-carbing?", he said he did and the doctor said "good, if your BP is still this low in six months, we'll cut your script in half." He also had a cholesterol test the other day - the result will be interesting.
