How I Lost Weight and Keep it Off without Being Hungry

Three years ago I gained 20 lbs in 2 months and my best friend told me that I looked pregnant (I wasn't). At the urging of a nurse who is diabetic, I read The Diabetes Solution by Richard K. Bernstein and reduced the amount of carbohydrate that I eat. I lost 30 lbs in 3 months, and another 10 lbs since then. Not only that, but my triglycerides, cholesterol, resistance to colds and flu, energy levels, etc. all improved dramatically. I don't starve myself, in fact, I eat whenever I feel like it. Really. I just don't eat much carb.
This really works! I actually gain weight easier than anyone you know, but I've been able to keep my weight stable (my BMI is 19.2) and improve my health by enjoying a high-fat, low-carb diet.
I feel so empowered about my health now. I know that I won't develop Type II diabetes like my mother and grandfather. I also know that I've reduced the risk of developing many other obesity-related diseases. There's nothing remarkable about me, except that I stopped listening to the "fat is bad" dogma that is still being spouted by most of the medical community, in spite of the research to the contrary. So if you're "eating healthy" but still struggling with your weight, try something different.
