Hi, my name is Genie and I started the 90 Day Visalus Challenge and I'm Carbohydrate Intolerant

Hi, my name is Genie. I am 69 years old and, although I swim every day, so far I have only lost five pounds since I moved to Florida two months ago. I believe my problem is that I am carbohydrate intolerant because, every time I eat too many carbs, I can't lose weight. Does anyone else have this problem, and how do you deal with carb intolerance? Do you eat Atkins meals or snacks in addition to the low carb Visalus shakes?

Lovely name.

That's not carbohydrate intolerance. CI is a disease where people can't absorb carbs due to missing enzymes. It leads to diarrhoea, flatulence and intestinal distress.

Use the link posted by queenliz. Focus on the basics not on shakes.
