I envy you for being able to do that. Unfortunately I have an extreme
sensitivity to carbs that had me in a wheelchair for years, unable even
to walk except around the house some, and then only with a cane. In the
seven years since I discovered what the problem was, and have stuck to a
low-carb diet, I'm back to walking up to three or four miles a day. And
at age 65 I feel far better than I did when I was 30!

I want to thank you and everyone else who's been posting those luscious
recipes, though. I've saved a lot of them because many of them either
fit into a low-carb way of eating, or can be modified to fit one.

Now that is a GOOD reason for low carb. I will see if I can find some
for you.

Both my husband and I have a lot of other good reasons for staying on
low-carb, too. We both lost some weight (60 lbs. for me and 35 lbs. for
him) and we've kept it off for more than five years, but that's the
smallest reason. Both of us had cholesterol and triglyceride levels that
were sky-high -- mine worse than his. Within the first six months of
eating low-carb they had dropped almost to normal, and since then have
slowly gone down to where they are normal. I also had very high blood
pressure, and that's down to normal, too. My husband had an ulcer for
years, and was just about living on Tagamet and Maalox. He hasn't taken
any of either of them since about two weeks after going on low-carb and
hasn't had a stomach pain since. Neither of us have to take any
prescription drugs any more -- which is something almost unheard of for
a pair of 65-year-olds these days.

I appreciate the recipes! (I've already peeked ahead at some of them and
saved them. They look yummy!) I have several friends and relatives who
also follow low-carb, and are always looking for new recipes, so if you
don't mind I'll share them.

I'm glad to hear that it's helping your grandfather. But I'm not
surprised. My husband and I went on one of the Atkins cruises four years
ago. There were about 600 low-carbers aboard the ship, and we met a lot
of people with amazing stories. They included a lot of people in their
70's and 80's, some of whom had been on low-carb for up to 30 years, and
who started their day every day with a measured 1-mile walk around the
deck. Dr. Atkins himself (he was almost 70 at the time) led the group,
and he set a very fast pace.
