| Introduction | I have been overweight my entire life. I remember thinking in kindergarten that I was fat. I have had marginal success with weight watchers, but always gained back. In 2013, I counted calories and became a walking junky. It took all of my time, thoughts, and energy, but I lost 45 lbs. I felt fantastic. Then in October of 2013, I met the love of my life. Suddenly I didn't want to spend all of my time, thoughts, and energy on weight loss. Over a year and a half, it all came back. I made some attempts to lose again, but never lost more than 10 lbs, and always gained it back immediately. I needed to try something else. Then along came an opportunity. My friend was told to go on a low carb diet by her doctor. I have never tried low-carb, but I have seen some breathtaking results. I know that the weight can come back quickly if I stop. I know the first couple weeks of only 18-22 carbs a day can be brutal. But I need to try something else, and maybe this is my sign. I am switching to low-carb nutrition with my friend. |
