I started out being a chubby kid and have always been overweight. The older I got the more I gained (292 top weight), until last year when I got bad news from my yearly doctor visit that I was diabetic. I ordered a book from a program that specifically reversed diabetes by going low carb. Determined to do something about my condition without taking the prescribed Metformin, I stuck to it and lost 30 pounds, and changed my fasting blood sugar level from 145 to 90. Then suddenly my weight loss just stopped, and I haven't been able to figure out why and what to do about it. I'm thinking I may have to also count calories as well as carbs.
