One month ago I posted an article stating that I was finally going to do something about my weight. I’ve steadily put on weight over the last 26 years since I’ve been clean. I’ve tried numerous diets and always got frustrated and gave up. Three years ago I woke up and was completely blind in my right eye. The doctors thought I was having the beginnings of a detached retina but after 3 weeks of tests and prodding, I was finally diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I was freaked! My doctor told me to immediately lose weight and begin exercising, and perhaps I wouldn’t need medication. I lost 45 pounds and walked 3-5 miles a day but I was eventually told that I needed to get on insulin right away! I tried as hard as I could to eat the right foods but my sugars were never really right. Although I never had the high sugars that I had previously - I often had lows that required immediate fruit juices to bring my sugars up. My weight continued to climb.
Dr. Bruce Boros, a Board Certified Cardiologist in Key West told me about a weight loss program he used to take off 38 lbs in 6 weeks. His success with this program has enabled him to keep the weight off for over one year. In that time he has over 300 patients on this plan. He told me that everyone who followed the cookie cutter recommendations have been successful at losing 2-5lbs a week of fat. His patients are eating 6 times a day and burning off their fat, not their muscles. Bruce asked me if I trusted him… to which I replied sure! He told me that he wanted me to try this program and to STOP taking my diabetes medications. Needless to say, I was skeptical, but I did trust him. I went on this diet and stopped my meds! That was thirty days ago, and I have lost 32 pounds in that time. My sugars have been PERFECT without taking medication at all! I test my sugars at least 3-4 times a day and I’m between 95-105 which is far better than while I was on the medications! I had been praying for years to get help for my food issues and I firmly believe that this program was the answer to my prayers.
My friend Dr. Boros hates it when I refer to this as a diet. He calls it a healthy lifestyle program. The name of the program is “Take Shape For Life” and I’m proud to say that they are our very first advertisers on InTheRooms. The program is based on the Medifast Diet which has been scientifically proven to work for almost 30 years and has been endorsed by over 15,000 physicians all across the country as well as by John Hopkins University. The twist with “Take Shape For Life”, is that you get a “coach” to help you along the way…kind of like a weight sponsor! Dr. Bruce has been my coach the past month and he’s answered all kinds of questions and helped me to avoid some potential pitfalls, just like a sponsor would do. After 2 weeks of watching the weight fall off of me, my lovely wife Jamie joined me on this program and she too is doing great!
I have been in the fat burning “phase one” and have lost 32lbs in just one month. Once I lose all my fat I will transition into “maintenance phase” for the rest of my life. It’s easy, the food tastes good, and its healthy with all the minerals and vitamins in it, so that if I continue to follow the plan with the help of my coach I can stay healthy for the rest of my life. It’s the least expensive of all the other diets on the market and you get tons of education. Take Shape For Life has all the tools to teach me how to stay healthy and that separates it from everything else on the market. This is one big happy weight loss family. I have decided that 78 pounds is my goal to lose and I’m already almost halfway there! There’s no doubt in my mind that I will soon reach my goal weight. For the first time in my life, one day at a time, I see a solution to my issues with food and I’ve found a new way to eat with a new healthy outlook.
If you have a problem in this area and you’re looking for help Please CLICK HERE to go to the Weight Loss group here In The Rooms, where we can support one another through this thing. Just like with the drugs and alcohol and gambling, it’s a “WE” program! I can’t, but WE can! I have been dealing successfully with all of my drug and alcohol issues over the last 26 years, but to be honest, food was killing me!
If you can relate to what I’m describing here, why don’t you do something about it? Together lets support one another through this thing! It makes no difference what diet you do. I like Take Shape For Life, but whatever you decide is fine, all that matters is that you take some action TODAY! This is an opportunity to address this issue with other people that can understand what you’re going through! Dr. Boros has a website… www.hatemyfat.com. Check it out…tell him MrClean sent ya.
