The greatest lesson I've ever learned about healthy living was recently passed on to me by my 91 year-old grandfather; today's crazed, carb-counting population would do well to learn the same lessons.
In his earlier years, Poppa, as he is affectionately known, was somewhat of an athlete and a pretty good runner. To this day, Poppa makes a point of taking his walker out every afternoon that weather permits for a one mile stroll to keep his legs moving and the pounds off. It was only within the last few years that my grandfather gave up his daily two-mile walk to a local skating rink and skating for an hour before walking back home again; a sciatic nerve problem put an abrupt end to his 'training' schedule.
Poppa remains active, eats sensibly, and indulges his sweet tooth every now and then; you won't find these lessons in the pages of Atkin's books. Just get out there and live - you can't live a healthy lifestyle sitting on your couch.
