The fact that Judy and Lisa have lost >100% of what they set out to lose makes this idea that much more interesting.

Really? You want to go there?  
OK, how about adrenal fatigue and low thyroid function.
I've seen women doing M&E for years not losing anything and remain sure that they will.  Whats the definition of insanity?
I believe that upping carb levels(with good carbs) when stalled out for a long time will actually ignite metabolism.
Its like stoking a fire, it needs fuel and oxygen to burn. Take away the oxygen and it goes out, take away the fuel and it goes out. But with both, it ignites.  |
