What a great plan!

Post by Mark F. »

For years I have gained, dropped weight, and added more weight. I was at wits end trying to find a way to control my weight. When I hit 290 and a 50 inch waist I tried a popular plan that "allowed me to eat what I wanted" as long as I met certain point values. I lost 18 pounds before going nuts from the constant hunger. Then I was right back at 290. I heard about LDL on a news article (I think) so I ordered the book. It was the 10,305th diet book I had ever ordered and I expected it was most likely going to be another failure. After reading the book, I started the plan on April 30, 2006. Today June 28th I am 257. My long term goal is 190, so I am 32% of the way to that goal.

So far this is the only plan I have ever stuck with for more than a month. It is the easiest and most simple plan imaginable. While it is still early in my quest I can actually see this plan being a life time eating plan. I stay full, eat when I want and have no craving for sweets (thanks to the fruit).

I hope that in another 30 days or so I can provide an update of even more success.

Mr. Wilson, thank you for sharing you plan.
