I just got through reading the books 'Runaway Blood Sugar' and "Fat to Skinny". I've started implementing both authors advise and I am finally, although not as fast as I'd like, seeing some results!

I didn't think I would be able to lose weight anymore since I had been doing well 'I thought" by eating lots of fruit and doing some exercise. In hindsight, It seems I may have been getting too much sweet fruit. I would munch on grapes all day long, eat apples, eat cantaloupe etc. My blood sugar was feeding my fat cells! Anyway, I am not eating any highly sweet fruits like grapes (or if I do, only a handful); I'm not eating my kids 'fruit snacks' (which obviously don't count as a fruit but I love 'em anyway), and I'm sticking to my protein and vegetables.

This is why I don't go on diets any more. They are just too contradictory. I have lost 11 pounds over the past few weeks by eating exactly what I feel like eating in hot weather, and that is salad! I also eat fruit, nuts and ice cream bars but only if I'm hungry between meals and usually I'm not.

I have swapped over to all salads for lunch recently and I am enjoying it, the only issue is being stuck at work in the morning, thinking about when lunch rolls around to get my grub on.
