Re: weeight loss before surgery??? or???

[Guest guest]

The key is you can eat normal amount of calories say roughly 2500. Sugar is

never our friend but on occasion it is ok in moderation. There are good

carbs and there are bad. The bad ones we use in moderation with always a

focus on protein. You get to feel satisfied and still lose the weight

because your body works more efficiently. You would have to restrict

calories to lose weight before the DS. Feel hungry and deprived. Do I even

make sense? I think my vicodin is effecting brain function.
