I hadn't heard that Cordain lives around here...
Two years ago when my husband was diagnosed with diabetes Dr. Morgan taught him about metabolic syndrome and recommended a semi-low carb diet, so he was at least starting to look into it. He told us a little story, though, how he decided to compete with a friend who was going to try to improve his body composition by working out, and Dr. Morgan wanted to prove it could be done with virtually diet alone. He put himself on a vlc diet and won the competition, hands down, which helped sell him on it (although he isn't a heavy guy at all, he said he lost a few pounds and improved all his other health measurements). But he told us he was looking at it originally from a scientific standpoint, and read "The Art and Science of Low Carb Living" (can't remember the author), as well as other studies and some of Taubes' work.
Anyway, I'm glad we got to compare notes on it, and I told him if he ever did open a clinic I would come work for him :-)
