We are. My wife does better on an Atkins type diet than I do on one higher
in carbs. I can't handle that much meat and fat.

My brother in law developed a serious weight problem and developed diabetes
among other problems. We was carrying on one day about his incompetent
medical because he was on a 1400 calorie per day diet and was gaining
weight. I made the mistake of pointing out what he was in the process of
eating for breakfast..... a huge bowl of ice cream with chocolate sauce and
cookies. His reaction reinforced my observations about people with
metabolic disorders having erratic mood swings.
