Close Diets & Weight Maintenance
I have always had a problem with my weight during my childhood and adult life. I was always the one standing on the side lines looking in. On Jan 26, I stepped on the scales and cried, for I was almost 300 lbs. On Jan 29, I changed all of that. I started counting every calorie and exercising. The first week I lost 9 lbs and since then a total of 22. I am now going to Curves and on my way to a new me.
Treatments
- Atkins Diet Not Working
- Dr. advised me to stop. I have low blood sugar and it was making it drop really low.
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
- Have cut out most white foods: sugar, potatoes, rice (use brown), pasta (use wheat) and white bread (whole grain). Have cut out all fried food.
- Eating Healthier Foods Working / Worked
- Have learned to eat less and to eat slower. Weigh and measure everything. No more frying food. I sautee every thing in Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
- Eat Less Working / Worked
- This was my biggest enemy, large portions (besides Mt. Dew). I have learned to portion out everything.
- Weight Watchers Not Working
- Tried going to WW years ago, got tired to keeping up with the points. Will add I now count all calories and the frozen WW meals are great for on the go.
- Best Life Diet Working / Worked
- I was watching Oprah one day and Bob Greene was on. Afterwards I checked the web site out and decided I could live with the changes described.
Close Obesity
I have always been over weight and I have recently topped the scales at nearly 300 lbs. Jan 29, made the decision to change this. Have lost 22 lbs so far, with the help of eating a healthy diet, no sodas and exercise. Am now looking for extra support besides my loving family.
Treatments
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
- I now avoid most white foods: sugar, potatoes, white rice, pasta (unless wheat) and white bread (use whole grain). No fried foods and most fast food.
