I was a foodie for the better part of my life, up unil I had Gastric bypass surgery in 2000, when I was 60. I never had any trouble at all with diets, having spent most of my life going on one; losing the weight, backsliding and gaining back every pound I lost, plus. I even went on the Metafast diet for 16 mos., and lost 200lbs, only to put it all back on, plus I contracted major health problems, to boot. I already had HBP and was diabetic, but these diseases were made much worse; My blood pressure was 210/130 and weighed 366lbs, when I got enough courage to face my doctor again. Meanwhile, on a trip to Paris, my husband, son and sister kept me at such a fast pace, my knees were very painful for weeks after we got home-went to an orthopedic, only to learn that both knees were bone-on-bone. The cure for this, was to lose at least 100 lbs., in preparation for bilateral knee replacement. Looking back on how bad my health had gotten, gives me the shakes, literally. My blood sugar was so high, I think it was 310 after a 3-hr. fast, so121 units of insulin became part of my morning ritual, after testing. It didn't happen overnight, but everything improved not very long after the bypass, and two years after that, I had both knees done the very same day. I recovered very quickly from tha, only to face removal of my thyroid; the sac had very tiny cancer cells in it, but I still had to swallow one nuclear/pill just to make certain no cells had escaped in my body.
I hope my story helps you to take measures that will eventually give you peace and permanent good health! :).
