Hi, I'm living in Chico. I'm new to forums, having tried one before and never did really figure it out. This one is more interesting to me because my life has been pretty much one big diet since about age 28, trying to learn what works for me. Half my lifetime ago (I'm almost 67), a smart Dr. told me to just eat meat, if I'm hungry buy a hamburger and eat all but the bun. I did that for awhile, didn't lose any weight but felt better, and since then I have experimented with all kinds of things, ending with low carb, moving toward no carb (almost), to no carb (almost) plus counting calories. This works. I'm happy, not hungry, and I DO live in California I've lived here since '65, starting in San Bernardino, then San Gabriel, Redwood City, Boonville and other places in Mendocino County, 20 months of bliss in San Francisco, and finally to Chico for the second time. I'm wondering what wonderful things I will pick up on this forum site as I am practicing an Eskimo diet?
