Lowcarbezine!

Hey Gang!

As I write this, I'm in the last stages of recuperation from some really nasty respiratory illness that I picked up in California - high fever, chills, coughing stuff up from a chest that burned like fire, the whole nine yards. (The only good part that the guy I caught it from on the plane on the way out looked just like George Clooney. If you have to catch a hideous disease, you may as well catch it from a hottie.)

I haven't been that sick in a decade. And it reminded me forcefully of one important thing: I have absolutely zero patience with feeling anything less than 100% well. Some of you have written me, wondering how someone can continue to make healthy choices, meal in, meal out, every day, for life. For me the answer is simple: The alternative - being less healthy than I can be - is simply unthinkable. Indeed, I have a hard time understanding how anyone can bear the sheer physical discomfort that comes with regularly eating junk. Yuck.

But my energy is back, and spring has sprung! Enough of this - I'm going out for a walk!

Read on!
