Carol Lost 141 Pounds!

Three years ago Carol weighed 347 pounds. She had been steadily gaining weight since her first child was born and nothing she tried worked. Carol confided that the guilt and shame that accompanied her obesity seemed overwhelming. The looks, stares, and reactions of people often indicated what they must be thinking: Why don’t you take care of yourself? Why aren’t you more disciplined?

Some people gave her all kinds of advice about what she should do to lose weight. And she did a lot of it. She tried nearly everyone’s diet—all kinds of plans, programs, and products. And still the weight crept up. Air travel was embarrassing—always needing an extender belt. She was never sure chairs would hold her. She couldn’t tie her shoes or lace her boots; her husband had to do that. She was miserable in summer heat, and she couldn’t walk through a large store without sitting down. Her turning point came when her doctor wanted to put her on insulin resistant medication. That was the last thing she wanted to do. She was determined to find a way to lose weight and keep it off.

That’s when she found a low-glycemic diet similar to the diet plan in The Juice Lady’s Turbo Diet. It was a Canadian program that cut out the sugars and starches. She could eat a lot of vegetables, a little low-sugar fruit, lean protein, and a very small amount of starchy carbohydrate. It worked! She lost 150 pounds. One of her happiest days came when she sat down in her assigned seat on an airplane and didn’t need an extender belt. She was smiling from ear to ear all that flight.

But then she started adding in more starches and some sweets. She gained back 30 pounds, which caused her many worried, sleepless nights. Just about the time she thought her prayers were going no further than the ceiling, she met nutritionist Cherie Calbom, M.S. who encouraged her to start juicing green vegetables. She went on a three-day juice fast and lost 6.2 pounds. That was encouraging. Strengthened with new zeal, she tried The Juice Lady’s Turbo Diet for ten days to see what would happen. She lost another 6 pounds. To date, Carol has lost 141 pounds.
