Photos from Quinn’s Camera II

Hi, guys! Happy Monday! Quinn’s still snapping away on his camera, and my first blog post featuring his photos were such a big hit with you guys, I decided to share another batch on CNC. Qman uses his camera (an old point-and-shoot) just about everyday, so there were nearly 200 photos on the memory card.

This nutrition plan has been around for ages, and has been effectively used in the treatment of epilepsy, but it’s also become popular to help folks shed pounds. Here’s what you need to know about this diet plan before you hop on another fad diet bandwagon. About the Diet This diet promotes low carb, moderate protein, and high fat intake touting health benefits such as weight loss and improved overall health.  It promotes an extremely low intake of carbs: about 30 grams per day. For the average American on a 2,000 calorie diet, this would be 120 calories of any type of carb per day. You can find carbohydrates in fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy, and legumes — which, when minimized in the diet, limits food choices dramatically.
