I did what I thought I would never do back in July, stopped eating sugar and wheat. Then I went farther with cutting out more carbs since I had watched 70 lbs literally melt off a co-worker. I have lost 28 lbs and am just back into my healthy weight range. If I lose a bit more it doesn't bother me one bit.

My question is, has anyone had any cholesterol problems with going higher protein and fat, and much lower carb? I have had high cholesterol no matter what my weight and I have exercised regularly whether bigger or smaller. I will see my Dr again in November (he did the same thing to lose weight, btw, and it worked for him too).

Thus far, I couldn't be any happier with a lifestyle change. I no longer feel hungry all day eating more and more sugar in an endless cycle.
