Low Glycemic Diet

Well, one of my new year's goals is to get back on track with eating right. I know that's probably a goal we all have. I've been trying to think of this as not a diet but a way of life, a way of eating, that I will be on the rest of my life. I CAN do this. I have been looking into the Low Glycemic Diet. I don't know a whole lot about it yet, but I have a book about it that I'm reading and I've heard lots of success stories, first hand. I want this to be something my whole family can do, it's so hard for me to cook a meal for the family and for me to eat something else. And we've cut out a lot of processed foods, trying to eat a lot more organic, I've cut out fast food, and sodas, you would think I would lose at least a pound or two, right? I don't know, I haven't weighed in a while!! So, I will try to be better about posting, and posting updates as I learn more about the LGD and how to do it, if it works, etc.

Oh, almost forgot an important thing...I joined a weight loss study!! I heard an ad on the radio about it, and wouldn't have called except that it was being done by my endocrinologist, the one Big Daddy and I both use, so I know he's legit, and really good at what he does. So I went in for more info, see if I qualify, so far so good, I will go back in two weeks to get the results of my blood work and more instructions. From what they said, it will be a combination of phentermine (appetite suppressant) and topomax (migraine medication) and for whatever reason, the combination of those two make people lose weight. Now, there is a 50/50 chance I'll get the placebo, but I'm praying, Please God don't let it be me!! Let this be the thing that jump starts this for me!! So, I'll be updating about that also. They did say I have low blood pressure, have no idea why but that does mean a visit to my regular doctor also. So, I will update on that later also.
