so I am a little fearful or trying this. It seems a slight variation of Atkins. Unfortunately I love sweets and know I should cut them or give them up but I enjoy them. I usually go careful one day and focus on protein and treats on the next day, protein, sweets if desired and of course bread. I am a fairly solid 5' 10 and a half, 178 to 182 lbs. I lift vigorously for my age 4 times a week different body parts two days a week and I run about 4.5 miles 5 days a week. I am a bit of a hypochondriac because of have something called ocular myasthenia gravis which at times makes me lose the control of the involuntary nerves around the eyes. I go on prednisone when it flairs and gradually ween off but that maybe happens three times a year and I have not had to take any since March 31st and counting.
