I have a confession to make. I am male, five six inches tall, and of African descent. Up to 2009 I was weighing 175 pounds and beset by hypertension. This 175 pounds was way beyond my weight for age ratio. O.K I did not tell you my age then; I was 55 years old. So, what's my story?
I was being treated for my hypertension and had to do annual medicals. When I did my medical for 2009 my doctor indicated that my blood sugar reading was approaching an abnormal level, though not yet there, and that I should take precautions to have this checked. She gave me a diet sheet and warned that I should watch all so-called natural juices, because in fact, sugar was added to all of them. Well, like a little child instructed by his mother I followed the instructions to the 'T'.
The result was fascinating. I not only lost 25 pounds in about a month-(I moved from 175 to 150 pounds), but my blood pressure also stabilized and did so without the one in 24 hour tablet that I had to take. Mind you, I did not lift a weight, I did not do any extended walking and I was in sedentary type occupation.
All the sugar I consumed came from fruits or natural juices that I made from the fruits, and I added no sugar.
I also avoided heavy fat products, but the other most significant factor is that I allowed my digestive system to do its work and produced glucose from the breaking down process of root and stem storage staples such as yam or potato. In short, I avoided processed foods like polished rice and sweetened baked products. Of course, I ate lean meat and fish and vegetables without weight watching, and the occasional ice cream was indulged, but in essence I avoided sugar and sugar processed foods constantly.
Amazingly, I am now able to increase my eating, indulge a little cake and ice cream every now and then and every time I hit that scale it still says 150 pounds. Actually at one point I was about 148 pounds and my wife thought that I was getting a bit skinny! So, welcome to losing weight without the wait!
