I'm enjoying this thread. I learned a LOT from RR, but a couple things were detrimental to me at the time when I practiced it on and off... desperately trying to make it to step 7 you know to lose some weight, too! I tried for over 3 years. Then I found out I am at least sensitive to gluten and dairy. Also, I have PCOS and insulin resistance. Eating lower carb makes me feel good.

On RR, sadly, KD would always say, oh you all need to eat MORE carbs. Come to find out, no! I didn't. I needed way less than I was eating. I felt sleepy and full often but didn't know why.

Nice thread... I appreciate the brain chem I learned there, but KD is blind to other issues, I think.
