General Discussion / Is Krill OK on FTS

« on: February 25, 2015, 11:53:46 AM »

I can't find ANY information on whether Krill Oil tablets are acceptable on FTS. I started back taking them last week and gained weight.

- It may not be related to the Krill Oil but I wanted to ask.

General Discussion / Hey Y'all - It's me Lala K

Howdy!!!!

The last time I posted, I was asking for help making it through the holidays. That was back in mid November when my doc first recommended low carb. Guess What?? I made it through the tough months.

With the tips, ideas and encouragement I received from y'all, I managed to get through the holidays and still lose weight. Doug, Umpa and all the crew -- Thank You

- I feel like I am finally on the right track - I can hardly wait to see my Dr next month and see his reaction at my weight loss and blood work.
Oh btw did I mention how I made it thru the holidays?

I allowed myself -ONE DAY of indulgence and made sure I carried low carb alternatives to cover after the ONE DAY indulgence and stuck to my convictions. hmmmm - wonder who gave me that idea?

I thank God first and foremost for the grace and strength to stick to the FTS lifestyle and for allowing me to "happen" across the FTS book (hard copy LOL) and also to you, Doug, for telling us all about it. God Bless You Bro.! I am almost halfway to my goal . I just wanted to share my thoughts on FTS and encourage others. -- Blessings LaLa K

General Questions / Wanting Doug's Opinion

« on: November 22, 2014, 10:20:15 AM »

Hi Doug,
I'm a newbie and have been on the Fat to Skinny eating plan for 6 days now and feel amazing. As I mentioned in a previous post, my doctor recommended the Protein Power plan (couldn't find, had to order) but I "happened" across your Fat to Skinny Fast and Easy book the day after my doctor's visit at a local bargain store. (which I am very thankful for) I am almost halfway through your book and it is so easy to understand and down to earth.

My questions is, are you familiar with the Protein Power plan and what are your thoughts regarding it? I have started reading the Protein Power book also and it seems very similar to the Fat to Skinny plan but when I went to the author's (Dr. Eades) website, there were different supplements he was offering. For me that was a big turn off!!! My plan is to get off my medication not add more! And to eat natural foods without add supplements. I would understand if you didn't want to "dis" another author, I was just curious if there were differences in your approach vs his.
I am currently taking 30 mg Lisinopril for high blood pressure and 500mg of Metformin a day. Will the Metformin interfere with my weight loss and insulin levels? My LDL, HDL & triglycerides are extremely high but so are my liver enzymes so I am not on any cholesterol medicine. I am supposed to go back to see my doctor in 3 weeks and looking forward to my blood work showing improvements.

I appreciate and value your opinion, advise and suggestions. THANK YOU so much for your book! You and Mama Umpa are awesome.

- Blessings to you both, LalaK

General Discussion / Needing Helpful Ideas for Holiday Temptations

« on: November 21, 2014, 02:07:03 PM »

Hi Y'all - I'm LaLa. I'm 54, 5'3" and 228 lbs. I went to see my doctor last week for refills on my maintenance medications. He pretty much told me that unless I lose weight and get my blood work under control that I would never see my newborn granddaughter graduate high school

. My doctor recommended the Protein Power and wanted me to give it a try.

I ordered the Protein Power book online but happened across the Fat to Skinny book first. The information is so incredible.

My question is for those who have been on this eating plan for a while. Share some insights and secrets for getting through the holidays and all the food temptations.

I told my Dr. this was a hard time of the year to try and change my eating habits and he told me that was only an excuse. And you know what, he was right!! I'm gonna do this.

Thanks for any pointers!!
