through pills isn't good for one's kidneys. To be honest, it's not like
this is a new diet, my mom did low carb when I was a kid, only they
didn't call it that. Don't eat rice, don't eat bread, they're
fattening. Then it was don't eat meat, don't eat cheese. I think
they're both wrong. I think activity level has the most to do with
health, weight loss and fitness. When I was in college, I didn't have a
car, walked or rode my bike almost everywhere, taught dance twice a
week, worked at a shipping place lifting heavy boxed three days a week,
went out dancing 2-4 times a week and rehearsed with a dance group for
shows and competitions almost daily. I weighed about 25 pounds less
than I do now, and I was in incredible shape with a tighter stomach than
the football players I taught in dance class. Now, I don't move as
much, we only go dancing 3-4 times a month, and I'm heavier and in worse
shape. The food has stayed the same. Regards, Ranee
