I had my doubts. I have done many diets over the years. I was diagnosed with a very rare blood disease a year ago. My oncologist told me to do a low carb diet if I wanted to
lose weight. But, he did not explain what that meant. I have always eaten a low fat, sugar free (or so I thought) diet. I "thought" I was eating healthy. It wasn't until I read Fat To Skinny, that I understood how much sugar I was still eating!! Even though, I wasn't eating bread, pasta, or sugar, I was still eating fruit & whole grains. My Dr. was surprised at how quickly 14 pounds came off (so was I). I got a little discouraged when I sort of plateaued after that initial
weight loss. But, I am still on program & my body is still changing. The best part is, my blood tests are showing improvement for the first time in a year! I have had issues with high inflammation in my blood & it is looking better! I think the hardest part of eating low carb, is not the food plan, but the mind set! My body is changing, my blood tests are and improving, and my skin is so soft (from the fats in my diet?). Trust me, this is so much easier than counting calories and fat grams!! Thank you for putting the information out there. I am very grateful!!
