Hello my name is Jacqueline Bell; I'm from Memphis, Tennessee. I recently took my child to the doctor's office.

Tanya Alvino from New York

Around the peak of the low-carb dieting craze in 2000, I decided that I had had enough of being overweight and very unhappy with how my body looked. I am 5'4" tall and weighed about 180 pounds at that time. I managed to convince myself that the basic scientific principles behind the low-carb diet were more or less accurate: If...
