Soo close to my first goal AND some great food for thought!

.8 pounds til my basic training weight!  Thank you Dr. Atkins!!  Then once I reach that, onto my second goal, which is 20 pounds to go. 

Tom Naughton (director and maker of the movie/documentary "Fat Head") recently told someone this after the doctor told this certain someone that he's destroying his kidneys and needs good carbs for a balanced diet (other than veggies): 

The "destroy your kidneys" idea was based on faulty logic: Damaged kidneys leak protein, therefore it must be too much protein causing the damage. As it turns out, kidneys are damaged by excess refined carbs (especially excess fructose), ...and then protein leaks out. It's like blaming the water if acid causes a pipe to leak.

The nutrients in vegetables and low-sugar fruits are beneficial, but no human on earth needs grains or sugars to be healthy. If you want a few more carbs in your diet, paleo foods like nuts and sweet potatoes are fine, but I'd skip the grains entirely.

 

There you have it!
