Riding my bike is by far my favorite form of exercise... and I live is So Cal where weather permits biking 80% of the year (problem is getting my butt out on the road after work).

There is also a Saturday morning Tai Chi class at the park a block from my house.

Also noting a similarity in diet programs.

Atkins
The Zone
Primal
Diabetic

All advocate high protein, high fiber (fruit and veggie) low or no carbs/processed foods.

I have no problem with that diet but my wife is a total beard head rice/bread/pasta etc.

I think my best angle is that I need to be on a low carb diet to keep my diabetic blood sugar under control.

Thanks for all the good advice!
