This has been great! I look forward to implementing them with my curriculum next year, too! It really opened up some great discussions after they were able to pick their jaws up off the ground. They had no clue how much sugar they were getting in seemingly healthy foods and drinks.

One of my coworkers borrowed a book about two weeks ago. Today, he said, "Do you notice anything different abut me?". He has been trying to implement the basics of FTS and he is already noticing positive changes in how his clothes fit and how he feels overall.

YEAH!!!! Kids love he gross factor! Thats why I love to play Dougs sugar video for them!Kids learn quick when they see it! Even if they don't follow the program  100 % they make better overall food choices.

I just LOVE this aspect about eating under 20 NC/day. I can go a reeeeaaalllly long time (compared to when I was eating carbs) before I need to eat again.  It's very liberating and I don't feel like I am chained to food anymore or like I HAVE to be near a snack at some point during the day. Stable blood sugars are magical.

My niece's graduation was great!! Got some good pictures and had lot of fun watching all the younger cousins jump on the trampoline after dinner!!! Great day!!!

You ladies must feel in control!! Its amazing how little food we need when we listen to our bodies

[MommaB]

I know, Umpa! It amazes me how little I'm eating right now and I really don't feel hungry!!! I must admit that I was hungry at the beginning of this low carb athon...but after that first day, it's been all good!!

Can't wait to see how all of this translates on the scale in the next few weeks! May keep eating this way (as low as possible on the carbs) until I reach my goal weight!! It certainly saves money on food!!! lol   

Thanks for all the encouragement!!!
