Re: Is low carb dieting/exersising enough?

Actually I wasn't thinking as much of diet as I was exercise. I still think that any diet/style of eating is a good thing for us when we know we have greater potential for serious health problems. It doesn't have to be low carb, it can be any form. PCOS women have lost weight on low fat diets before.
