Quandry Posted by Ann on 4/18/2019, 12:59 am Some of you may remember me. Will I just got my blood work back and I am pre diabetic. My doctor wants to see me in August with weight off. Keto is the rage but I have never seen weight come off as fast as Cambridge. Sonali lost around 85 pounds in 3 months and Pam lost 95 in 4 months if I recall correctly. If both of you would give us exactly what you did it would be appreciated.

Re: Quandry Posted by Pam T on 4/19/2019, 8:00 pm, in reply to "Quandry" Hi Ann. Sorry about your news, but please know that you can reverse type 2 diabetes. It is not a disease that will inevitably progress no matter what you do and it does not have to be managed with medications for the rest of your life. Keto is a good way to improve your numbers, but it is slow and many people find that they lose for a bit and then it stalls out on them. Cambridge will give you the same benefits of ketosis but you will also get the rapid weight loss results that you want to get so you can reverse this type 2 diabetes before it gets a chance to advance any more. Once you reach goal weight then you may want to transition in to a low carb lifestyle for maintenance. I basically eat no sugars, grains, or processed foods 99% of the time. I don't crave them anymore so it's easy. All I did was have my Cambridge 3, sometimes 4 times a day. That's pretty much it! If I needed something else I stuck to lean protein like a few scrambled egg whites with hot sauce or a couple slices of turkey or chicken breast. I had a couple of binges early on, but I just didn't quit. I got right back on. I also had a couple of dinners out with friends so I wasn't perfect. I just didn't quit. I had my frustrations and pity parties along the way and one killer plateau that lasted a few weeks, but again....just didn't quit.

Re: Quandry Posted by Ann on 4/20/2019, 12:03 am, in reply to "Re: Quandry" Thank you so much Pam and Yvonne. You are both inspiring. I KNOW you know how tough it is. Did you exercise Pam when you lost the initial weight? Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend.

Re: Quandry Posted by Pam T on 4/20/2019, 3:13 pm, in reply to "Re: Quandry" When I first started I was disabled and unable to do anything without a cane or a walker. I was in constant pain from advanced bone on bone arthritis in my knees and struggling with hypertension and the after effects of congestive heart failure and edema along with diabetes and medication side effects. Misery. About 4 days in to SSing I began to feel energy returning to my body. I started walking and bit by bit I increased my activity until I was doing a 20 min mile and working out in my little apartment gym. My pain level went down dramatically and my endurance became almost limitless! It was a rebirth! lol! I never pushed beyond what was comfortable so I took it slow and easy, but for me, that's what worked.

Re: Quandry Posted by Yvonne on 4/19/2019, 4:30 pm, in reply to "Quandry" Hi, Ann: I'm Yvonne. You may remember me. You are correct——for many people, Cambridge is the only way (weigh) to go!! Pardon the pun. Pam will guide you, but just have 4 Cambridge meals a day. It is a modified fast. It is terrific and it has been around for over 35 years without any problems. I've done my research. The question is: "Is a person willing to stop eating conventional food and enter a modified fast for an extended period of time?" The answer in many cases is: "No!" If one is willing to sanitized their kitchen, i.e., throw all the food out (or give it away) and just stick with Cambridge, you'll be in good shape by August. However, it's the psychology of weight loss that flummoxes most people, including me. Order the shakes and just "dive in". Good luck, take care and happy holiday!!
