Mr. Eby, I am doing some informal research on diet, weight loss, exercise etc. I am curious:

What was your highest weight; lowest weight in the last 10 years; and current weight? What do you do to maintain your weight? Are you happy with your current weight and level of physical fitness?

P.S. I am sorry to invade your privacy but it does seem like you have held yourself out to the world as something of a guru.

If you're still reading, I'm definitely interested in your research. I've done some myself.

The survey I recommend reading both the livejournal and the dreamwidth comments. They don't trend in the same direction.

My conclusions Short version: people can hurt themselves badly by trying to lose weight. "Roll your own" moderate low carb and exercise regimes work safely for some people.

One more thought
