Resolute

Perhaps a better subject for this would have been Tired. You'll understand why in just a moment or three, I think.

Genties and ladlemen, I am tired.

I am tired of looking like a beachball with legs. I am tired of wheezing for breath when I do something so simple as schlep a particularly full basket of laundry upstairs. I am tired of so simple an activity as feeding my cats in the morning being cause for immense back pain.

Here and now I'm swearing to the lot of yez I am going to get myself in a physical condition where I *don't* move around like an asthmatic pregnant heifer. So help me Ghu, it ends. Not here and now, because unless some kind soul among yez has a magic wand handy, this will take time.

But the journey of a thousand miles, and all that.

The Atkins diet scares me. I don't think anybody should cut out all of one thing and go overboard on another. All that fat just can't be good for you. Besides, Dr. Atkins had a heart attack earlier this year. That says alot to me at least. :)

Let's start with: http://www.cnn.com/2002/HEALTH/diet.fitness/04/25/atkins.diet/

This addresses the heart attack caused by infection of the heart tissue that the 71 year old Dr. Atkins had while working full time at his family practice.

From there, we'll hit: http://atkinscenter.com/why/debunking-the-myths.htm

And just for kicks, we'll touch on another Doctor's take on low-carb diets:
http://abcnews.go.com/onair/2020/2020_991206_carbohydrates_feature.html

We won't get into the fact that ketosis is a natural function that works to eliminate fats from body tissue.

Or the fact that up until about 300 years ago, man's diet (except, of course, in civilised areas) consisted of primarily meat - except in late summer and fall, when the grains were harvested. Then, they ate carbs, got fat, and survived the lean winters.

And it's a "low-carb" diet, not a "no-carb" diet; you're not cutting out all carbs, just most of them.
