I am convinced because of my results. My hA1C was 11 in March of last year and by December it was down to 5.8. I also have lost 54 pounds since mid-April when I started living the FTS lifestyle. I cook more now than I ever do and my energy level is unbelievably better than it has ever been.

Loser48 it is still unbelievable to me that I am free of my sugar addiction .I was VERY addicted to bread any kind of bread . I am ashamed to say how much of a warm loaf of french/Italian bread I could eat .

 I have come to realize the freedom of the addiction and the way I feel is better then the weight loss (http://www.fattoskinny.com/). I came here of course to lose weight (http://www.fattoskinny.com/) fast ,what I did not expect is to be free from cravings that  I have had for 30 years or more and also get rid of acid reflux .
 I came here to find a diet to lose weight (http://www.fattoskinny.com/) fast but what I found was a New lifestyle that I will stick with for the rest of my life ,I have felt better in the last 5 months then I have in a very long time .
Everyone on here knows that I want to lose faster and not be the Slowest Loser on the forum ,but the important thing is now that I will not give up ,slowly but surely I will reach my goal .

 Sorry Doug I have never been a star student . LOL ;D

Welcome to our family, loser48!  :) :) :)

That feeling of being "tired" most of us sugar addicts feel disappears and is replaced with much higher energy levels.
You will be amazed and how much better you will be feeling after a couple of weeks.

And as you stick to the FTS lifestyle rules, the pounds will melt away and stay away!

Fat To Skinny REALLY does work!!!  ;D ;D ;D

Hi everyone ~ thanks for the welcome and your answers! Now I'm starting to believe that it does really work. When I get to reading the book... I will begin my journey from sugar to healthy eating. It will be wonderful feeling to be 'free' from cravings carbs... which have been troublesome over the years. I have much to learn.

Doug ~ thanks for saying YES. I heard you talking about sugar... and was amazed at how much the average person consumes in a year. EEK! What a wake up call that was. It got me thinking... do I consume that much SUGAR? YIKES!... then I said to myself... I got to do something about this. Thanks.

Umpa ~ thanks for sharing. I will check out your column... as I've always wanted to convert yummy recipes into healthy ones. Cheers!
