Happy Thanksgiving!!
In honor of Thanksgiving, I just wanted to write a short post to say my “Thank Yous” to the many, many folks out there who have really helped me make this year a good one.
This year I am truly thankful for all the Low Carbers, IFers, primals, paleos, and other anti-lipophobes who have been eating, living and sharing their convictions about health, fitness and nutrition – especially those of you who do it online. And special thanks to those of you who answer your comments and encourage your readers to keep pursuing health and wellness!
I have learned so much from you this year …
I have enjoyed significantly improved health by using your nutritional ideas and methods. And now that I read your blogs and comments about what happens to people who just blindly follow the SAD (Standard American Diet) and the MAD (Mainstream American Doctors) without informing themselves and without taking charge of managing their own health, I am really glad that I persevered on my quest for real health. I still have a long ways to go, but I am really going in the right direction now, and I am making real progress Lovin’ It Low Carb!

Improved Quality of Life Awards
Last year, the hands down winners of my Improved Quality of Life Award, had to be (1) Good Calories, Bad Calories by Gary Taubes and (2) Vitamin D. I forgot what/who lead me to GCBC, but I can certainly direct a BIG THANK YOU to my friend Karen for starting my Vitamin D research.
My 2009 Improved Quality of Life Awards go to learning about Leptin, Meal Timing and Intermittant Fasting and reading The Six Week Cure for the Middle Aged Middle by Drs. Mike and Mary Dan Eades. So, I give a BIG THANK YOU to both Mike and Mary Dan Eades. I first learned about these topics on Mike’s blog! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!!
Honorable Mention and special thanks go to Rachel Allen, another blogger about Intermittant Fasting. She reads all my posts, and always leaves encouraging comments!!! Happy Thanksgiving, Rachel!! I hope you are having a wonderful holiday!! Check out Rachel’s blog.

Most appreciated on the honorable mention in your list! I’ve been away out of town for a few weeks, so its really nice to come back to blogland with a nod from a success story like yours. Your dedication and documentation have been a real inspiration to me.
Lately I’ve been suffering from H.C.C.F.S,, hospital cafeteria carby food syndrome, bloated, tired, short of breath, but today I ate my meat and eggs and jogged and tossed the kettle bell , just like the old days. Catching up on your blog is going to be a fun way to re-spark the on keto fires!
Hi Rachel!! I’m so glad to hear from you. I’m glad you’re back. I had my share of HCCFS last April, when I had a sibling in the hospital, so I can totally relate!
Enjoy your re-induction into the keto fires…
