I've been reading about low-carbohydrate diets lately, and am seriously
considering changing my diet to one.  Basically, the idea is that eating too
many carbohydrates stimulates insulin production, which in turn, promotes fat
production.  This seems to fit with my experience, especially of late.  My diet
is relatively high in carbohydrates, and although I get a lot of exercise, I
seem to be getting fatter.  

There are several books out on the subject, and basically what they call for is
less carbs and more protein, along with some fat.  A diet properly balanced
helps better regulate your insulin production, and thereby how fat you are.
