I want to thank you Grant for bringing Gary Taubes' book and the idea of low-carb diet into my world view. It has been life changing for me. I am not taking statins today because of you Grant. I am 18lbs lighter than before. My blood numbers are much improved. Maybe most importantly I have a fundamentally different relationship with food now. As much as I appreciate the changes you brought to my cycling, this is more important. Again, thanks Grant!
