Joel, I think you are on an Atkins diet, I never see carbs!
Yeah I try to stay as low on carbs as possible.
I've had no gluten since April and I feel a whole lot better.
In April I had my youngest son make me a carrot cake.
The next day my wife started the carnivore diet and I did it with her for solidarity.
The only thing I add is rice and yogurt.
Been doing it ever since, in my own way.
On the day after my 55th birthday I weighed 198 pounds.
I now weigh 159.
 
I found 2 on ebay for $100 each.
Think I'll need two?
"Supposedly" the 150s they cover 36x36 inches but I don't really know, I have to find someone to measure me the par to see
