I'm a 51 year old female,5'9" and just made it through to post menopause this year. I'm extremely active. Last January, at 180 lbs., I started training for an extreme canoe race. No matter what I did, I couldn't get below 175.
As a beer lover, I noticed that I was starting to get allergy symptoms every time I drank a beer. Long story short, the research I did led me to low carb...then Atkins. The body burning fat instead of glucose just makes sense, and I haven't felt this good in years!
