« on: February 05, 2012, 09:11:17 AM »
A couple of months ago I gave my Uncle my old FTS book, yesterday I saw him and he looked amazing.. he has lost 25+.. He look much younger too.. He showed me his stashed.. He isnt doing 20 carbs a day but still, just eliminating all the refine sugars, breads, etc... he stopped taking metformin too...    AWWWW, you rock Uncle Chris.....

Every time I see a fat person now, I want to tell them to get on FTS!

That's a great idea! But everyone I know who is struggling with their weight, I've already told about FTS and I wouldn't really be able to go up to a stranger and tell them "You're fat, here's your card!" I'm waiting for the T-shirt. When I'm skinny, I'll put my fat picture on the T-shirt with the FTS info. How about THAT?

THAT'S what I'd be afraid of. But they could stand behind me and read the T-shirt and make their own decision. Seems like just telling people isn't enough - especially one fat person to another. Seeing is believing.

I have lost enough weight (66 pounds and counting) that people notice and ask how I did it.  My answer is that I made lifestyle changes including eating a low carb diet.  Most people kind of get that glazed-over look and the conversation ends.  I follow-up with people that seem interested and there have been a few who are having some success.  At lunch today, I'm sharing some of my cabbage lasagna with one of them. 

The best advertisement is smaller jeans.
