  • You replace your carbs with vegetables and fruits - seeds, nuts, and meat compromise a small amount of carbs but mostly fat and protein. I didn't do paleo or a grain free diet to lose weight - I know I can achieve weight loss by not doing a grain free diet. I do it because it makes me feel good... It reduced my migraines,…

  • Try doing a fast. I do ADF (alternate day fasting) you can google it, it might kickstart your weight loss if you find yourself in a plateau.

  • Hi, I myself am a physician. I've told myself that there is absolutely no way that a shot with a VLCD can achieve the kind of weight loss they are supposedly marketing - svam is what I thought. I started my weight loss yo-yo since I was 12 years old. There have been major ups and downs but I would say a healthy weight for…

  • Hi charlotte, I am not a grad student anymore but I was about 4 years ago (medical school) and then residency for the past 3 years.. I am now an internist.
