JANET
I have been on diets most of my life, lost the weight then gained again, was eating so little there was no way anyone could eat like that for life! I lost my husband 7 years ago and just seemed to pile the weight on, I went up to 265 pounds! Through the doctor I had to go and see a specialist and he said the only way I could lose the weight at my age was to have my stomach made smaller!!! I certainly didn't want that!!! He said there was one more choice, to work with a dietitian he knows, they have written a book together, I went to visit her and it was the Low Carb advice she gave me, I really did want to lose it so put all I had into it and managed to lose the 95 pounds!
I am still 167 pounds but I am tall so I don't want to lose any more. I do feel that I can follow this way of eating for life and know that if I want to stay slim I shall have to. I had to go and see the specialist last month and he couldn't believe what he saw! He said "How have you done it???" I told him by just following his advice! He said "I wish all my patients were like you!!"
