I have lost 23 pounds eating like this I started eating like this on November 20, 2008.
I know it came off fast and it is slowing down now. I am very thankful because I am not able to be very active being in a wheel chair, and I am still loosing weight. Thank you God.
I am hungry a lot because of the prednisone I am on. I am wheaning off it slowly so it may be a few months before I am off it. But boy does it make me hungry.
Here is what I have had since December 29, 2008.
I will post more as the days and weeks go by and update with how it is going.
As in any weight loss program it is always important to talk with your doctor before starting any change in diet.
What works for one person may not work for another person.
This is working for me so far. I try to keep open to change, adding anything that is healthy. I find for myself with diabetes when I eat 55 to 65 grams of carbs in a day my sugars keep where they are supposed to be. So my goal is under 75 grams a day most of my carbs are in Veggies and berries. I take vitamins too fish oil and one a day and B12, and folic acid because some of the medications I am on take the vitamins out of me.
I share what works for me but I encourage anyone who is interested in loosing weight to talk with their doctors before starting any diet or change in eating.
