So, about 1 year ago I read an article by Gary Taubes and Then watched a short movie by Dr. Robert Lustwig (featured on Sixty Mins just last week) on the dangers of sugar[/u]. I was open minded and I gave it a shot. I used to be in great shape in high school and college but as a young professional sitting in cubical all day at a software company and having a love for Belgium Beer I found myself in just really bad shape. Im 5 9 and before I knew it I was up to up 175 LBS. I used to snowboard when I was younger but soon found it difficult to even bend over my gut and buckle my bindings. How did I let this happen? I had tried the low carb thing before in the past but to be honest I couldn't sustain it. It got boring eating the same old things and I began to YoYo. I would drop 10lbs then put on 12 Ilbs, I just became really frustrated and began to except my new body.
