About 5 yrs ago I weighed around 255 lbs and gaining more each day. Finally getting tired of continually having to "size up" while shopping for clothes along with health issues I decided it was time to take action. I had tried many diets in the past but to no avail, then I tried the low carb diet and wow....instant change. The weight began to fall off, no more sleepapnea, back pain or heartburn. I had energy like I was a teen again. Within about 8/9 months I had lost almost 100lbs!!!
I think the hardest part in the beginning was just saying NO to the chocolate, ice cream, pasta, bread and all the greatly loved foods. However in just a week or two of starting the diet and those being cleansed from my system found that I no longer had those craving. If I did have a craving I found great low-carb recipes to substitute them with.
With a little determination and willpower this great diet does work!
