Hi All,
I am 56 years old and live in Gresham Oregon ( Next to Portland)Almost 3 years ago with Diabetes ( Insulin Dependant ) A1c level mostly at 11, High Blood Pressure, ultra high Tryglicerides( over 1650 )weighing 302 pounds and 5'10'' I was in trouble.I was depressed and would have welcomed the chance to die. Unfortunately I couldn't do it myself.Each day was so tough to face.I took a handfull of pills 3 times a day and 3 big insulin shots in my stomach too.I knew I had to do something quick.I tried the Atkins diet with some success and I noticed a real drop in my blood sugars when I was on it. My problem is that I didn't know how much to eat .What portions were the right amount.I was reading on the Atkins Shake Can the nutrients and decided to drink 2 cans each day with extra protein and vitamins and eat 1 good meal each day. It took 11 months of this program changing my main meal each day so I wouldn't get board.I am not much into excercise so I relyed on diet alone.The pounds seemed to melt away.I started in January and by November I had lost 144 pounds down to 158 pounds.That was 1 year and 2 months ago and today I weighed 157.7.The Atkins shakes did the trick!I still drink 2 shakes a day and one good meal. Did I tell you I don't take even one pill anymore and my diabetes ,high blood pressure and high colesterol have diaasppeared and the 1650 plus Triglicerides were 150 at the last testing.My body can operate perfectly with no problems at this weight.I went from an XXL Shirt and a size 50 waist to a Meduim shirt and a 33 inch waist.My wife says some things got bigger ,go figure, lucky me.I have never got tired of the shakes as I really like the light chocolote one.For anyone in my same situation it is so worth it.I owe my life to Dr Atkins.

That was quick... kind of like a fancy race car zipping past you and honking as it speeds on down the road 
...Was in HEAVEN -got to 150, for awhile, then got too busy, and gave in too much... and... OK holding pattern "keep it together..."
