This, absolutely for me, too. Someone asked me yesterday how I look so young. I always say "genes" but it's really because I don't eat grains. Hands down, no questions. But I am still very fat so I never say so. But I am much healthier than I was before low carb. So I don't talk about it much unless it comes up because someone has to serve me food. I feel like I'm a bad example. But I'm actually a very good example. I ran an amazing ten mile race when I weighed 230. I keep myself healthy and fit enough to teach a sport. I lost a thousand minor health issues by eating this way, from skin rashes to tooth plaque. Unfortunately, people are not that interested in feeling great so much as they are obsessed with thinness. Hence, Jenny Craig and gastric bypass.
