No, do the Low Carb thing. I know lots of people here in my town doing it and

having results too. I just do not lose on it. After the Bernstien book and some

experimenting, it is good for the BG's I am sure. I am not at all typical. I

have very firm fat too, not much jiggle. I had a friend who looked like the

Pilsbury Dough Boy kind of white bread and mashed potato fat. Mashed potatoes

being her fav comfort food. I look healthy but fat and firm. Don't listen to me.

Wonderful you lost the weight. That is what I want to do now. I just read in

Bernstein's book that there is a food plan where we will lose and all the

doctors have told me over the years that no fat people came from the camps in

the war... I must not have found the right thing for this metabolism. I am

exercising everyday too. I will keep searching. Any insights are welcome. And,

how DID you lost the weight???? G

Is this because of the sugar or just the weight loss?

Thanks

They did not have diabetes. I have lost weight, about half as much as they lost,

and did not get those wrinkles. I would think it was the unhealthy foods they

ate, many frozen dinners and the sugar foods too. When I did the South Beach for

a few weeks last summer I got constant comments on my great skin. But, didn't

lose lbs, maybe inches. I tried it again and no results at all that I could

tell. No one else that I know losing their amount of weight looked so terrible.

Those wrinkles were extreme. G

Just another example of YMMV, I guess. I do find the content/approach

of W/W " meetings " to be inane (and sometimes appalling) so gave that up

after a few but I get my best results on W/W . . . best (and easiest) bgs,

best cholesterol counts and slow-but-steady weight loss besides.

Weight loss without exercise/toning.

Or wrinkles that were there anyway but weight loss removed the

" puffiness " /stretch that was concealing them.
