Hi. I've been doing the Ultrametabolism for 28 days now. This is the second time around for me and my wife. We were not motivated by weight
loss as much as we were motivated to help control my blood sugars, reduce
our inflammation and improve our overall well being. My wife and I got
through the detox phase with maybe only one meal that was considered
inedible (The Black Bean Soup with Cocoa)...other than this we enjoyed
the recipes presented in the book. We learned to improvise as we
embraced the spirit of the book. Going strictly by the book, as many
of you already know, is not always possible/practical with busy lifestyles.
Neither my wife or I weigh ourselves as we've decided this is more of a
lifestyle change journey rather than an event with an end goal of x amount of
pounds lost. I can say we both feel better than we ever have. Our
clothes are looser and we are never hungry. My wife's mucous and sinus
problems have vanished; my blood sugars are normal (I am a Type II
Diabetic) and we both have plenty of energy to lift weights and walk
everyday. We re-discovered the power of sleep (no caffeine rushes or
crashes) and we rave about The Ultrametabolism Lifestyle to all of our
friends and relatives.
The other night we went out to a 4 star
Restaurant and did without the bread, the carbs and did not miss a
thing...my wife had carb-less crab cakes and I had a tenderloin with
extra veggies. We have found that you do not need to turn your life completely upside down and this lessens the potential to fall off the proverbial wagon...we've decided that this will be a wagon to ride for many years to come, just because of the great results to date.
Please share your success stories...this is what inspires us...is to
read or hear about folks who have improved their health and well being. Looking forward to reading about yours!

Congrats and joining the celebration

Hi,
Thanks so much for sharing your story! Inspiring!
I just finished my first week of USD. I'm going to do it for two more weeks and then switch to Ultrametabolism (I think--I might stay a few more weeks).
I'm so glad to be making healthy choices without a lot of stress! It's been easy to follow the USD thanks to the great support material. I've tried new recipes (the Roasted Artichokes with Carmelized Onions was great) and made good choices when I've traveled for work and for fun. I'm really surprised at how much weight I've lost (8 pounds). And I've felt very good and energetic.
I'm in a bit of a slump right now. I'm not sure if I've stumbled on a food sensitivity or what. I've had some strong, negative reactions when I've eaten that have made me feel like I'm coming down with a cold (sore throat, congestion in my head and ears). But the symptoms go away a few hours later after some sleep. I'm a bit nervous that I'll have another bad reaction. But I feel really focused that I'm doing the right thing. I believe that if I can isolate whatever is causing this, I'll be back on track. My MD is who recommended this program so I may consult him if I can't tease out what's going on myself.
I am really excited to see what will happen next. I'm hopeful that my bloodwork will show changes and that I'll be able to come off of some of my medication. And, it certainly won't hurt to be able to fit into some of my old clothes again too!
All the best to you, mdawg!

Congratulations to you both! But I am also impressed that an MD recommended this program to you, Karen! Kudos to him as well! I would really like to see more MDs realize that sometimes they just don't have all the answers, and if you don't feel good, there is a reason- whether their imperfect testing methods realize it or not.

Nothing tastes as good as healthy feels.

Congrats on your accomplishments. It's always nice to hear of the successes. I've just started week two of UM and am noticing differences already. I have more energy and don't have the cravings I used to get. I know I have a long way to go, but with my family behind me I know I will succeed.
