The quality of research is a dangerous thing. My assumption if told that
low carbers die a fraction of a year earlier than so called healthy
people would be to assume their unhealthy high carb years PRIOR to
lowcarbing, the result of which started them lowcarbing, caught up to
them-not a cause and effect relationship to the lowcarbing itself.

LOL!! Whatever floats your boat.


One only has to look at how "healthy" Atkins was when he carked it.

Just bite off more than you can chew,
then go do it.

I've been obese since I was born-I guess I should have started running
before I could walk. I have the well-baby book to prove it-I was
switched from formula to skim milk when I was six weeks old lol. I
thinned out some during grade school (growing 4 inches taller in one
year helped) but puberty hit hard in 7th grade and I gained 80 lbs in a
year. Let's see, I was in volleyball basketball swimming and I walked or
rode bicycle every single day the 1.5 miles to school. Sorry, no hard
labor, unless you count corn detasseling in the summer. One size
(assumption) does not fit all. No question, I should get more exercise.
No question, I should eat less. No question, I need to eat less
carbs-eating less carbs gives quicker results than exercise or dieting.

I have a niece who was a fat baby, too. She's now 20 and she is slim
but she has to work at it. As a baby, her calf fat would hang over the
backs of her little shoes and even chafe to the point of pain, and my
brother and SiL had to leave her shoes off most of the time. She didn't
seem to eat more than any other baby, so I wonder what causes that?

I think it has to do with build. My friend had her teenaged niece living
with her and I was shocked at her strange build. From the waist up, she was
a slightly large build but not so much that you'd look twice in disbelief.
But her bottom half? It was as though they had taken that part of her body
from someone else. It was soooo huge! I have seen this type of build
before but rarely to this extreme. There's a name for that. I can't
remember it. Lemme see if I can find it. No. Of course I can't find the
name now. I saw it documented some book that I read though. Her hips and
legs were HUGE! So huge that she had no ankles.

My niece doesn't have that build at all. Her build is normal now. It
was just when she was a baby that she was chunky all over. Even her
face was fat.

Oh. Okay then. I stand corrected. I know of people who were fat babies
but they continued to be fat throughout life. I was very thin as a baby as
was my daughter. But we're not thin now.
