Hello, I'm very new the LC. I've struggled with calorie counting & exercise for years & found it extremely slow.
I've just read 'Big Fat Lies' by Hannah Sutton which explains the science behind LC, how some people are insulin resistant & some just produce far too much insulin. It was like a light bulb going on!!
My mum died from diabetes related kidney failure (although she wasn't over weight at all) & my both my husband's parents died of diabetic related problems so we both want to make sure we avoid it!!
I have ordered 'New Atkins, New You', but thought I would read as much as I could on the net & start straight away. I weighed on Monday at 12st 5.5lbs (I'm 5'2''), had 'the blowout' & started counting carbs on Tuesday. I have lost 7lbs! It's like a miracle to me, I have never lost weight like this before.
I was a complete carb addict, but my husband doesn't like pasta or rice & can live quite happily without potatoes or bread. He loves meat, cheese, eggs & fish & green veg so he is perfect for this diet.
I must admit, I have loved it too
This forum seems to be so full of friendly people, good ideas & support, I thought I would join you all.
Sorry to ramble, but it's like I've discovered a magic way of eating. No mood swings, no IBS & no cravings!!
