I have been trying to LC for 5 years now....most I lost was 30 lbs, managed to gain only 15 lbs during a pg...kept my blood sugars stable......but have had trouble with the no fruit deal of Atkins, so I am switching to Protein Power.

This is my first official day......I have had many ups and downs being diagnosed with celiac disease, and feeling sorry for myself and soothing myself with lots of frappe coffee drinks...and lots of sugar....but now I have to get back up....shake myself off.....and get on that horse again. (I am getting very close to being diabetic...so I HAVE to do this.)

Once I am on LC again, I do feel soooo much better....joints feel better....heartburn goes away.....indigeston goes away......even with eating any type of grain....even gluten free....I still feel horrible when I have them.

Back to the basics.....only whole natural foods.....I have a hard time with sweeteners too....so I need the fruit....berries with whip cream for desserts or a custard with stevia......

Have a great day!
