what i did to loose tuns of weight...

[Guest guest]

hi Becky

well, I have been useing almond flour. I get it at my " whole foods " store, or at

another store called, " fresh and easy "

I don't use it alot.

I have lost over 75lbs in the past year in a half and I need to say this...

everyone is different, with different needs, etc...

I am both a kidney and pancreas transplant, on anti rejection meds, taking

metformin(this has assisted me with the loss of weight)

and I have gone back to my " eating habits "

this is what I am doing, what I have done to loose weight:

I swim every morning when possible, I eat no flour, anything white, and no sugar

what soever(except for a few splendas for coffee)

for the first 4 months of my " change of eating) i stayed away from everything

mentioned above, including the splenda, and stuck to nothing but veggies, almost

a veggie diet... I did have some chicken(grilled) fish)grilled) fresh veggies,

no process meats and no dressings whatsoever

plenty of nuts like almonds, pistachios, and other nuts(I stayed away from plane

peanuts)

alot of greens, like salads, and some cheese on them.

" activia " yogurt, fiber bars or powder(the ones you can sprinkle on your foods)

and loads of water.

under my nutritionist, of course.

my key was to loose the weight, to keep me away from crossing that line on

becaomeing type II,since I use to be a type 1 on humilog and lantis for a long

time.

so from 2hundred something, I am now a 130 and happy, but got about 10 more lbs

to go for my ideal weight...

again, every individual is different, and what works for me, may not work for

anyone else, because even though we are all in this together, we all have

different needs, and each individual " body " requires something different.

so good luck with everything, and I have learned alot on this group as well.

Thanks Dave for being so supportive, and to as well, and everyone else

who has more knowledge than I and the openess there is to share and learn.

ok, I'll go back to my corner now..smile
