My low carb lunch at Chipotle was by far the most satisfying fast food experience I have ever had, with food that was both wonderfully tasty and nutritionally superior. I may have missed Chipotle Mexican Grill up until now, but you can bet I'll be going back again.

Getting started with low carb can be a little daunting for some people. In the midst of all of the options and questions, there is one thing that separates successful people from people that throw in the towel.

On March 1, 2008, Doc Joe weighed a ponderous, pachydermian and unhealthy 340 pounds. One year later he weighed in at 210 pounds. He not only lost weight --- he regained his health, fitness and wellness.

Gibbs shows us that winning the attitude game means more than starting you journey of reaching your goal of losing weight, it involves beginning the journey to self-love.

I am excited to announce the addition of Susie T. Gibbs, aka Fluffy Chix, as a columnist. She'll be writing about her own life as a low carber and cancer survivor, her trials and triumphs, and also about food, all from a perspective as fresh and sassy as her native Texas.

This success story starts with Susan being 380 pounds on her 40th birthday. Like many of us who have struggled with weight, she didn’t like being in photos and avoided them when possible. So when she got her photos back from the celebration, she didn’t recognize herself. “I not only looked bad, I felt horrible” says Susan.
