Happy New Year! I have been following the low-carb lifestyle on and off for years...like over 30 years! The problem is the "off" times when I regain everything I lost and more.....become discouraged and less healthy.
I think the problem has always been that I followed a low carb and low fat regimen (HCG protocol, Dr. Bernstein Diet Clinic, Kimkins) and when I fall off the wagon, so to speak, I go back to eating lots of sugars and grains and not the fats that I probably should be eating instead. I think I have figured out that I have a huge sugar addiction! And unfortunately I have fast tracked myself into insulin resistance and possible type 2 diabetes!
I am super enthusiastic about the low carb/high fat programs that I have been reading about within the Paleo community. If there is anyone in Ottawa looking for a diet buddy or someone to walk with (not in the freezing weather though unless it is in a Mall) please let me know!

Thanks for the welcome! It is pretty miserably cold here too...I was just wondering - what do you mean by "poverty primal"? I was trying to figure it out - does it mean you don't buy organic or grass-fed meat 'cos its too expensive or something completely different....

Hi! Sorry I didn't see your reply earlier. For a while, I really had a hard time making ends meet, and you're basically correct: bargain-basement foods. No organic dolphin-safe wild wildebeast. Heh.
