I was in grad school in Baltimore in 1977, where Oprah had her original local show that I enjoyed. I was also 23 years old ~148 pounds a size 8 and I thought I was fat (actually that feeling started at ~15 and 139 lbs, which in retrospect was an ideal weight for my 5-6" and frame, and that old size 8 would be called size ~12 now). I couldn't afford a diet doctor, but through all of my pre-LCHF years dieted on 1000-1200 calorie regimens with a similar history of yo-yoing.
