Welcome to my Userpage here on Atkinspedia. I'm the founder of Atkins All The Way and I added Atkinspedia so that many followers of Atkins could find all kinds of information at their disposal. I hope you get as much use out of it that I planned on. If you have a question, feel free to ask me here.

What I've tried to do on Atkinspedia is make a place for any low-carber to fnid information on whatever they want. For instance, if a user checks out a recipe and it calls for dredging, that user can click on dredge and find out what it is. The same goes for someone that just wants to research Vitamin A, including what it's good for, what happens when you are Vitamin A deficient.

You can add to this dynamic exchange of information easily. That's what is so great. It belongs to you, the reader. You can't break it, you can only make it better. If you are familiar with Wikipedia you might as well jump right in. If you aren't, check out this page to give you a better idea of how Atkinspedia works.

Have fun with it,

BrianZ

I was born on May 4, 1973 in York, Pennsylvania. I was raised in the York area and moved to the Poconos, PA in 1985 at 12 years old.

After high school, I joined the United States Army on Halloween morning, 1991. I served at Ft. Bliss, and have been to Ft. Irwin, and Kuwait (Gulf War). I was a 19D Cavalry Scout. I served in K Troop 3/3 ACR for my entire enlistment. I was honorably discharged from the Army in 1994, serving my 3 years and was a Specialist at that time.

I eventually went into a career as a PC Technician and supported many schools and businesses in the Eastern Pennsylvania area. I burnt out fairly quickly and went into Technical Writing and had been doing this for 10 years in the Tri-state/New York City area.

I'm also a follower of the Atkins Nutritional Approach and run the site Atkins All The Way to provide support for Atkins dieters. It is a wonderful community and full of great people that I care about. I administrate Atkinspedia as well.

I moved to Appleton, Wisconsin last May and live with my girlfriend and her kids. At this time, I work from home for the same company I was working at when I left NYC.

I'm an avid Oakland Raiders fan too.

Since I founded Atkinspedia and installed it in it's raw form, I created most of the articles as of July 19, 2006. The list below is some of my favorite work:

Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible.

– Lord Kelvin, ca. 1895

There is no need for any individual to have a computer in their home.

– Ken Olson, 1977 President, Digital Equipment Corp.

It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong.

– Voltaire (1694 - 1778)

Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you walk into an open sewer and die.

– Mel Brooks
