 Mr. Varrieur,
 
Please don't be like the Dr. Oz show and send me an auto responder saying you cannot answer all e-mail.
 
I first watched you on the 700 club being interview on how you lost you weight and kept it off.  I watched it several times again via internet on the cbn web site.  I finally decided to by the book.  It was easy reading  and easy to understand. I finally had some hope.  This came at the time when I just had told my family doctor, that I never want to talk to her about my weight again, what ever is, is!

Ath the end of April, I started what you were teaching.  I made some mistakes, but by May 5th, I was on my way.  I tried so many diets and "way of life" diets and never lost weight, so I was afraid to even weigh myself.  By the End of June I went to the office of my endocrinologist, just to weigh myself, and I DIDNOT LOSE 1 POUND.  I had seen by family in Maryland last Easter and was hoping I would have lost at least 20 pounds by August,2010 as my family is coming here for a visit.  People who have given up white flour, pasta, rice as I did, at least lose 5 pounds, but not Joyce Marino.
 
I retired after of 42 yrs of service, about 1/2 of that time I worked 3-11pm.  My body is still on that schedule, so it is very late when I finally fall asleep.  I see clearly that when I am tired and cannot fall asleep, I eat.  Yet I tried to follow what I would be allowed, such a turkey, hard salami or sandwich pepperoni with cheese or the frozen strawberries or sometimes pork rinds with salsa.  Although I felt better, I physically weighed the same.  I am grossly overweight.  I weight 282 pounds and need to lose at least 155+ pounds.  My meds are Humalog 75/25 x 2 daily, 90 units in the am and 80 in the pm.  I also take metformin 1000 and glyburied.  Diltiazam, enalapril and clonidine for my blood pressure and simvastatin for my cholesterol.
 
GOD HAS BEEN MERCIFUL TO ME THUS FAR.  Yet I feel as I am getting older, my time may be running out unless I lose this weight.  PLEASE HELP ME, TELL MY WHAT AM I DOING WRONG!!  Attached is my meals & what & how I am eating.  Is there something that I am doing wrong.
 
Thank You
Joyce Marino

much better:) from what i can gather from this email...portion control,eating right before you go to bed, & you mention you "try" to follow what you would be allowed to eat??? the foods you said you ate,turkey, hard salami or sandwich pepperoni with cheese or the frozen strawberries or sometimes pork rinds with salsa. are all ok...but how much of these foods did you eat? is that all youre eating,i mean are you eating other meals thru the day,and then eating this before you go to bed? i'm thinking a food journal would be the place to start:) not only what you eat,but when you eat it,many other foods have hidden carbs...you may be eating foods that you think are safe,but in reality are just as bad for you as the flour,rice & pasta you mentioned that you gave up....you have to do more than"try" you have to live it 24/7,not just when its convenient or when youre thinking about it:) good health is within your reach:) but you have to cling to it:)

Hi Joyce,
Gary is right, portion is the key . Try to limit your strawberries to no more than 1/2 cup in a day, replace the flatout breadwith the La Tortilla Factory tortillas and right there you will make a big deduction in the carbs you are eating

Hang in there!
