Sweden Becomes First Western Nation to Reject Low-fat Diet Dogma in Favor of LCHF

29. Rats!!! I thought quinoa was a 'safer' choice :(

I just cooked it for the first time last week and the family loved it (stirred chopped cranberries, oranges and nutmeg into it).

I'm to the point where I *HAVE* to do something about my weight and have been looking into low carb and increasing my movement. I had a setback (and a scare) last month. I took a nose-dive off our front porch (courtesy of our dog) and landed full force on my chest. I was worried about my heart/lungs because my ribs/sternum took such a beating. My BP was sky high when I went into the ER, but the doc said it was from the pain. It's definitely more for my health/physical stamina than the way that I look, which I guess is a good thing. I may be more successful than if it were the other way around. I consider the cosmetics of it a bonus.

My friend has dropped 37lbs doing lower carb and doing 30 min of either elliptical or walking every other day. I told her I was going to pin her pic to my fridge to use as my inspiration
