I have no great story. I was thin as a rail on the SAD diet and still am now (6'2'', 180) The best thing about this diet is that I don't get hunger urges every 2 hours. I guess I have a fast metabolism and always thought that I was just one of those people that had to eat lots of calories. Not true. I now have freedom to run or train at almost any hour of the day without first having to plan some sugar burst an hour beforehand. I typically eat a juicy steak, or 80% lean hamburger and drink whipping cream (love that stuff). For veggies I go the green route, and I do like an orange or two. I eat some honey or a bar of chocolate every now and then. I always loved cooking pastries and baked goods, so that was hard to give up. I avoid grains like the plague, so I have made a few cheesecakes with almond crust to fill this void. The think now is that if I eat something that is full of sugar, I get a high and a bad low and feel like shite for a few hours. That's pretty good motivation to not repeat that.</p>

Every excecise has a diferent set of muscles that are the primary group used for that given excercise. Any muscle not being heavily employed would then become a secondary muscle or stabilizer. I don't disagree that free weights have it's advantages, but then again so do machines. I just don't understand the stabilizer philosophy.
