Here's a tip - start to take your measurements. Those scales are evil and don't always move when they should! By measuring your body (arms, legs, waist, thighs, whatever) once a month, you will notice results. Lots of us keep a pair of tight pants around, too. A pair that you can get into now but wouldn't be doing any deep knee bends in - then try them on again in a week of two. Do they feel differently? Can you breathe, now?! Before you know it, you'll be sporting the latest fashion (waist band down around the knees) and won't THAT be a wonderful feeling?!

We've all had to overcome the garbage of a lifetime. Garbage we've been told (ie. food pyramid, low fat diets) and garbage we've eaten (sugar, carbs, overly processed food...). But just remember, it IS garbage and this works. Works for us, works for you, works for people all over the world as you can see by this website. (I have a co-worker that lost 116# and still going!)

By the way, do you exercise? You may find an initial "drag" as your body gets used to lc. After that (should be 3 days maybe) your energy will increase. What will you do then? I suggest a nice walk around the block! A swim, a bike ride - the possibilities are endless and your body will thank you for it.

Have a good day!
