hi everyone!!
This looks like as good a place as any to jump in and introduce myself.
My name is Vicki, in doing one of my numerous searches for low-carb recipes, I came across a utube video on summer squash that in turn led me here. I have to be honest, and say I have not read the books or infact know anything about the fat to skinny website before then. I have based all my knowledge on the Atkins as well as the South Beach diets.
But in reading over the site for the past couple of days, it seems to be pretty much equal. I could be wrong...it's been known to happen in the past. I just try not to make a habit of it.
I don't say I follow any one diet plan over another because, as with most everything else in life, what works for one may or may not work for someone else. In my "research" it appears to me that whether it be Atkins, SB, or FTS...they all have the same objective. Low carb foods, healthy fats, and plenty of water.
I have twice lost 40 lbs using this formula, but I have also twice put the weight back on plus a little more. Due to stress, emotions running high and pure laziness. So I am back to hit the ground running and actually accomplish what I set out to do more than 6 years ago.
I pretty much started <or should I say RE-started> the low carb lifestyle on October 15th, and have since then appeared to have lost 11 lbs, depending on what mood my scale is in. My first goal is going to be being able to walk into my doctors office, and have her take me off all my diabetes and cholesterol meds. My second goal is to be able to sit on any airline of my choosing and not have to ask for a seat belt extender. After that....I'll formulate the next set once I accomplish the those.
It has been my pleasure getting to know you all thru your posts and the website. I look forward to a continued journey with you all!!
Vicki
PS...I can't promise all my posts won't be this long, but let's just hope I will never be boring
