Good Afternoon everyone,
My name is Rusty and I found your good board by trying to find an alternative to my arch-enemy, RICE! I have always eaten food until I was stuffed, order pizzas for the family and eat 5-7 slices, and of course, eat cups of rice with butter. When my weight would increase I would simply buy bigger clothes. I started having sleeping problems and one day I woke up and just didn't feel right. I truly thought I was going to have a heart attack soon, at age 39. I did some research on different plans and started on 03-15-10, @ 384 lbs, with the "7-day diet." It was a massive change for me from what I was use to. After that I started reading about Atkins and thought I was following it until I broke down and purchased the book. I learned then that I was going in-and-out of "ketone's" (fat burning mode) or whatever it is. I read the book and I am now on my fourth full day of induction. Today I weighted in at 346.5 lbs. I haven't set a goal but I want to continue this journey for the rest of the year. I've completely given up all beverages except water (180 ounces daily), no pastas, bread, beer, snacks, or chips. I love the way I'm feeling right now and can't wait to read some great ideas of food alternatives to try. It's amazing how the simplest of things I made hard on myself. Thanks for reading this and I will not bore you anymore with my story. Best of luck to everyone on the forum and I hope you all meet your goals!
