This year I have lost 45 pounds in three months, and 60 pounds overall. The wake-up call came when I became diabetic and developed some heart rhythm issues. I was on two diabetes meds and two blood pressure meds. Those are all gone now. I want to be around for my kids weddings.
I owe a debt of gratitude to Dede Farnsworth for helping me to do this and teaching how to eat properly and maintain a healthy life style. http://dfarnsworth.tsfl.com/
The Take Shape for Life program is based around maintaining a steady level of blood sugar and insulin, and eating the correct balance of carbs, healthy fats, and protein. It's common knowledge these days that a low carb diet with healthy fats and quality protein is the best. My previous post about High Fructose Corn Syrup is a case in point. That stuff is poison.
I wish I had started a blog when I started the program so I could have chronicled the journey. My intention is not to promote this program, but I and several friends have found that it just works. Most diet programs these days talk about the same things in terms of low carb, glycemic index, etc. Atkins took this to unhealthy extremes. South Beach diet is along the same lines, but this program is one of the best in my opinion and I just wanted to express my gratitude. It has changed my life.
If you are overweight, look into this or another program. If I can do it after 30 years of obesity and yo-yo diets, so can you.
