I'm going to stick to this diet as a 6 month experiment. See what it does, and if my health improves. Need to keep accountable somewhere, so here I go.

I change my mind a lot about things, but sticking this out 6 months will be good for me, even if I don't improve, but sounds like I will if I stick to it.

I am probably pre-diabetic, sure I have metabolic syndrome because my gut and waistline is hugest part of my body. But my legs and arms are large themselves.

I am sure I have metabolic syndrome because I look like it. I am obese and weigh 265 to start. My highest weight. Am 5'5, was 5'6 so my height changed with time. I am 46 and female.

Took a before today, will do a before and after once I am done with 6 months.

Good for you! Committing for six months is a smart plan. Have a lovely weekend!

Toad, it will help you to succeed if you get rid of all the junk food (or tempting non-compliant food). Give it away or throw it out. I wish you all the best with your experiment!

Hi Toad,

Hope you are doing great!

Agree 100% with Daydream on cleaning out all of the non-compliant food. Much harder to eat it if it isn't in your house...

Also, helps me to have lots of starch ready to eat --- like cook a big tray of potatoes or sweet potatoes, make a big pot of brown rice, etc. and just put it in refrigerator for when you get hungry.

Best,
Stephanie
