Interesting point. Those of us hanging around here just have too little sympathy for hopelessly skinny people.

My first husband was the Shrimp all through high school. Grew to 6'2 in the Army, and weight-lifted his way to a he-man upper body. He always had those skinny legs though, rather like a barrel on stilts. We were Jack And Mrs. Sprat, sort of.

Ken, I never thought about low-carb eating as actually promoting the desire to exercise, but I experience both energy and results when I do both. Maybe there's a link for me too.
