About Me

My photo
Stargazey
For those who are curious, I hold a PhD in Medical Biochemistry. My dissertation dealt with one of the mechanisms of insulin receptor signaling; however I have not actively done science for two decades. Nonetheless, my biochemistry training showed me that the low-carb lifestyle is a valid one, and I have low-carbed successfully for more than fourteen years. But that's enough about me. This blog is about you. Low-carb works both for weight loss and for good health. It doesn't matter if you're male or female, young or old, short or tall, rich or poor, morbidly obese or maintaining a normal weight. The purpose of this blog is to focus on you, to discuss the science behind the low-carb way of life, and to help you understand how it can work for you in your journey to good health!
