What do you love about FTS?
« on: January 05, 2012, 04:53:18 PM »
I was just in the kitchen pouring myself a Diet Pepsi and I grabbed a SF Mint Patty candy and thought how lucky we all are on FTS. Here I am in the middle of the day, grabbing a piece of candy and my favorite drink and it's okay to do that. I have cheesecake, candy, cookies, pizza, steak, amazing sandwiches (on pitas of course) and it's all apart of our FTS lifestyle. Guilt free yummies!!


So tell me, what is you FAVORITE thing that you love about FTS? Could be a favorite food, favorite part of the program...just what is your favorite?



I have to say I LOVE LOVE LOVE the SF candy, the low carb cheesecake and the ability to drink diet pepsi and still lose weight.

I love that I don't feel deprived and I feel NORMAL because I can find stuff to eat just about anywhere. At first I was frustrated because I didn't want to cook, but now that I've given in and stocked up on ingredients, I'm having fun with it.  :)

My favorite FTS dish is Macafoney and Cheese. But you knew that! :D I'm leaning towards putting hot sausage in it instead of ham, but I have both on hand anyway! You never know when a cordon bleu might strike.

Great question, SherriPie!

Feeling like I did when I was in my early 30's.
So much energy and much more alert than before!!!... It's crazy! ;D ;D ;D

Tied with that is my improved health.

After that, are all the wonderful foods I eat!
I can't think of a time in my life that I ever ate better!

FTS ROCKS!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I love how Umpa/Doug give us so many recipes/replacements and how my A1C went from 8.4 to 5.4 in less than 6 months.. but the truth is that I also LOVE how involved Doug and Umpa are with all of us.. Its not just to sell a book.. They really do care...  That is priceless...

This is going to sound corny, but I love that I can eat cheese and not feel guilty about it.  Especially sharp cheddar cheese crisps!   ;D ;D Who'd have thought that I could eat cheese crisps (among other things) and lose weight? Or lemon bars? or flax bread with cream cheese on top? or a sausage & egg OMM with cream cheese on top?

Honestly...my mom has been on a diet for as long as I can remember, and she's looking at me sideways a bit these days.  I've told her about FTS, but she insists on paying good money to one of those weight loss places instead.  Maybe once I'm my weight really starts changing, she'll be more interested.  Time will tell...

I have tried so many other ways of eating...raw, vegetarian, vegan, WW, SB...you name it, I have probably tried it, or at least considered it.  With EVERY single other diet I have been on, I felt deprived and oftentimes hungry. When I was vegan/vegetarian I gained weight (carbs of course!)  With FTS, I NEVER feel deprived, because there are so many options out there and I don't feel hungry all the time.

I agree...FTS is awesome!

I know what you mean, freeinHim. My sis-in-law is going to WW and paying the $15 a week or whatever it is now. I've been telling her about FTS. I'm hoping that she will see the 'light' when she sees the 'light' me again! You can lead a horse to water... :D

#1- I love the empowerment I now have knowing the absolute truth about weight loss and weight gain. I don't know about the rest of you but over the years I was brought to tears on occasion due to simple frustration when trying to be successful on "diets". FTS was born out of that frustration.

#2- I love the fact that God gave me an exact mission for the remainder of my days to teach all who will listen the truths we have found, that's how this ministry was born :)

#3- I love all of you and pray for your success every day  8)
