I'm 63 and feeling better than ever. I hope others may benefit from my experience. I'm not at goal but close. Close to death, I saw the movie Forks Over Knives. With nothing to lose, I gave up meat, dairy and oil. Within a short period of time I was feeling better, losing weight and getting off all medications. The final stage (I hope) of getting the remaining weight off is intermittent fasting. I get all of my caloric needs in 4 hours. That has probably had more to do with losing weight than anything. It has to do with insulin and getting that out of your system completely for a few hours everyday. This lets other hormones take over. Anyway, it is effective and it's more of a lifestyle change rather than a diet, so I'm confident that my perfect blood panel will remain so until the day I die.

Congratulations! Keep spreading the word. ANYONE can do this. I've been on a similar path for 3-years. Down 70#, all bloodwork back in proper balance. No processed foods. No mammal products. No salt, sugars, or animal oils. Just lots and lots of wonderful clean healthy veggies, fruits, spices and a few whole grains. Wild-caught ocean Salmon and clean Chicken breast round out my food list. I have about 20# to go to meet my college weight. No problem... easy... almost said "piece of cake".

Posted by OldMetalHeadThe hardest part for me is not falling back into old bad habits after meeting goals.

Posted by JonnaBononnaI had finally gotten back on track after gaining back most of the weight I lost a couple of years ago.
Posted by JurneeI have to say, as an overweight karate instructor, this is the one patch that I was ok with never getting.

Posted by DotLewis7 March 2020 - Diet Diary - Been quiet around here lately. I've not been on vacation, just keeping a low profile and trying to stay on top of things. Are those things incompatible?
