Yeah, its that time of year – I am sure I will shut up talking about diet and exercise soon – but for now, I’m still working it out on my fab elliptical machine and trying to watch what I eat. So I’m talking about it. 
I have been a proponent of a low carb diet from the first time I ever tried it – breaking that craving for sugar/carbs was every bit as horrid as quitting smoking. Well, darned near that bad. With withdrawals that are that bad, I have NO doubt that sugar must be truly awful for your body. And mine. Of course, I am sucked right in to a sugar addiction at the moment – the worst thing for me to give up is milk. I LOVE milk, and always have. Way too much. So anyway, I have been thinking about getting regimented here.
In December, when my dear friend Hsien was recognized by Dr. Manny at FOX as one of the best health blogs, I discovered another blog and podcast that haven’t been around for too long, but have been getting amazing traffic – the Livin La Vida Low Carb blog and podcast , by Jimmy Moore. I have been reading the blog a bit, but listened to the podcast today for the first time, and its interesting – Jimmy is quite lively and the podcast is long enough to give valuable info, and short enough so you arent stuck listening for what seems like forever. Good stuff, check it out if you haven’t.
And tell me what you are doing to shed those unwanted pounds. I am shopping around for something that works – cause I need it!
Jimmy is one dedicated guy! I was impressed by his energy and enthusiasm.
Come live in my house. Those three flights of stairs would give you plenty of exercise.
Yeah, no kidding. You must be the size of Twiggy.
Hey Christina,
THANKS for mentioning my blog and podcast show! That’s so sweeeeeet!
Although I do enthusiastically support the low-carb lifestyle because it has helped me shed nearly 200 pounds and keep it off for several years, my philosophy on weight loss is this:
1. Make up your mind you WILL seriously do this.
2. Find a plan that you can do.
3. Follow that plan EXACTLY as prescribed.
4. Keep doing that plan forever.
If it’s low-fat, low-calorie, low-carb, or whatever, just find something that you can live with for the rest of your life. Otherwise, you’ll get bored or feel deprived and then just give up. Not good.
I’m happy to help you in any way that I can, so don’t be a stranger. THANKS again for reading my blog and listening to my podcast show. I’ll keep pumping them out to encourage and educate. SEE YA!

I haven’t got anything to add re: low carb diet, but the title of his blog is the most creative I’ve come across in ages. LOL…
Sisqa – agreed – anything that makes me think of that luscious Ricky Martin is a-ok in my book!
Jimmy – thanks so much for stopping by! I have been up and down all my life and have been on just about every diet plan there is in my 38 yrs, but I really do believe strongly that low carb is the way we were created to eat. Congrats on all of your successes. I hope there are many more in store for you! I will be sticking around, no worries!
Did he say “FOREVER”?? AHHHH!!!
I’m sure you can squeeze a brownie in on occasion. But just one. Small one.
