Both such good points.

It never ceases to amaze me that anybody has trouble staying on a low carb diet, because for me it was so effortless. Maybe I wasn't so insulin resistant as some people, but I never felt deprived. It's the low fat people who are so screamingly hungry all the time. The only trouble I have is finding enough variety, especially when I eat out.

I consider my diagnosis of diabetes a great blessing, because it got me healthy and I never would've done that on my own. Maybe if there were more emphasis on optimal health and less on weight loss (which just happens as you get healthy) there wouldn't even be a low carb/low fat "debate".
