This is a wonderful program. I am taking less insulin and on my way back to a normal life thank you Anne. Its taken 25 years to budge those sugars... only 1 word GREAT....
Anne, ... my doctor told me yesterday that he didn`t think I needed my zestril [high blood pressure med] He has lowered my thyroid med to about half of what it was. And I`ve been off prednisone now since Aug. Thanks so much Anne...
... I currently take 1.25 mg Synthyroid daily (for hypothyroidism). I am here to tell you that with Anne's diet information and the support you will receive on this forum, weight loss is not only possible, but easily obtainable. I am happy to report a 31 pound loss in 3 months.
I'm on the GI plan... down another three pounds this week for a grand total of 42 pounds... and the doc took me off my meds! I owe it all to you guys, the support here is awesome.
Anne, I have been on the low glycemic diet for high blood glucose readings. I have lost from 176 pounds to 168 pounds this morning, so I feel like it has been successful. Thank you so much!
Anne, Well, this is my fourth week on the low glycemic diet and I lost 4 pounds this week. That's a total of 12 pounds and I actually feel better. I went to the doctor last week and she reduced my insulin dosages, which is terrific...
Hello Anne..., I want to tell you about how am I doing with my "Low-Glycemic Diet", so far I have lost 23 pounds... My sugar levels are very good I even had to lower the dosage on my insulin.
Yeah, 3 pounds this week. Yeah me! Blood sugars are really good and I haven't had a single craving this week. I think this really is becoming a way of life and I don't notice being on a "diet" anymore. Wouldn't that be lovely! I can't see myself changing from this GI way of eating.
This week, I had a loss of 2.5 pounds! I am thrilled, especially because its my TOM and I still lost! Normally I gain at this time of the month. Do you think this is because of the sort of food I'm eating on the Low GI diet Anne? I normally have really bad sugar cravings before my TOM but this week no problem!!
Down a pound and a half. Whoopee!! That's 22 gone!! Everyone at work just laughs when I say this because I get so happy about it but I got into jeans...you know the ones with zippers and no stretchies in the back. Sure feels good!!!! Can't remember last time but it was certainly 4 years ago. This GI diet is really working for me.
Well I am finally going back in the right direction! I am down 3.5 pounds for 191 pounds. The Lower GI Diet is awesome! I am not having the cravings and I am amazed by my energy!
Dear Anne, You were right, the Low-Glycemic diet is working really well and my blood sugars have been more stable than ever befoe. I have been really amazed and impressed by how well this diet lines up with all the "current" dietary studies.
Thanks Anne. Felt so good when I stayed on track at a point where I would have given up before. Another hurdle passed. I'm finding the Low-Glycemic Diet so much easier than dieting I've done in the past ... and I've done a lot of it . Also finding it much easier to recover from a 'bad' day using the motivation tips. Thanks again.
