At the end they had Luther Vandros on and he lost 100 pounds low carbing. My DH watched it with me and I have been talking about low carb for weeks now and he thinks that I am losing my mind. After he watched that interview with me he was like oh okay now I get what you are saying... you have my blessing. I really felt like this was an eye oipener for me as well to see someone famous on this woe and having such a huge success. He also stressed how improtant it was that this is a way of life not a quick fix. I am so jazzed now!

I know this is late, but I did watch it and it was VERY motivating... I have been doing this since November after doing it about a year ago with great success (WHY DID I STOP!!??). It was nice to see him doing all the "right things" to get fit. I really liked the part where he said he felt better now than he did in his 20s and how this has helped his self esteem and given him back a sense of control over food instead of the other way around. I just felt bad for him when he said he eats no carbs at all...I wanted to yell at the TV.."Reward meal, Luther"! LOL

I saw that show too. I love Luther. Have seen him in concert several times...fat, thin, and everything in between. Once concert he was wearing this huge spangly blazer and he talked about how he's been on tour for months and lost so much weight while on the road that his smaller wardrobe couldn't keep up with him! And to hear him say that he's kept this weight off for several years, while only keeping it off in the past for four months at the most! I was so impressed with him and the low-carb approach.

It was the very next day that I also started the low-carb thing. I'm following the Atkins approach and am looking foward to a positive outcome from getting carbs out of my body.

If only we could all look as good as Luther right now. Sigh, time to grow throw on a Luther CD!!!!

Best wishes for you in your weight loss journey!
