I can't do maintenance. I guess I'm unlucky. If I go over 20 carbs a day, I start gaining again. If I cheat I'll put 2 or 3 pounds on and it will take 2 weeks to get it off again.

So the Atkins Induction has become my lifelong diet plan (it's called keto now).

Both my parents died of obesity diseases, and I decided in the 1970s that I wasn't going to check out early that way. I don't know if there is a happy hunting ground after death or not, I do know there is life BEFORE death, and I'm going to hang out here as long as possible, and live the kind of life so if there is a hereafter, I go to the good place.
