Losing Weight with Starscream

Bob is right on the money, Myles.
I did the low-carb thing a couple times. I lost a lot of weight. Put it all right back on when I quit because I went right back to my old Twinkie and pepperoni diet.

I remember reading that there's a period where your body switches over from burning carbs to burning fat for your daily energy. The outfit that made up the low-carb diet even sells pee-strips so you can see when that happens. You're supposed to use these pee-strips on a certain basis to see if you're still burning fat, or if your cheating is catching up to you, or if you're doing something wrong.

Anyways, you have to have a plan for when this is done, otherwise it'll work out just like it did before for ya, and just like it did for me. The beauty is that it really works, and the more meat you eat the skinnier you get (based on how they say your body uses more energy to burn meat than what the meat provides).

Good luck, brother. Learn to love veggies that grow above ground. That's all the low carb stuff (except corn which isn't good for us at all, I guess). Fortunately for me, I love veggies. I just selfdom eat them.
