I so agree.
I was 39 when my life turned upside down. For a while, I was very slim. It was the Grief Diet, and I don't recommend it.
As things settled down, I started gaining. I wasn't upset; I just tried my ol' low fat, portion controlled, exercise program.
Only it wasn't working. And I was gaining with frightening speed. I put on almost 100 pounds over a year and a half. I wasn't losing, I was gaining, and I was being driven mad by the hunger.
If Atkins hadn't come along, would I have kept gaining? Would I have become desperate?
I think so. |
