If My Mother Had Only Known About Low Carbing She’d Still Be Alive Today!

Sonya Tilley 1,253

If I wrote a book on the details of the diet I grew up with, this would have to be the title. I marvel that I have even lived long enough to embrace the low carb way of life.

Denise C. Lopez 923

"Everything's bigger and better in Texas." This old adage refers to the size of things in Texas when compared with the size of things everywhere else in the world.
