I started out on 10/18/17 at a verified (Dr's appointment) 299 pounds. I gave up all sugar, processed and artificial, yet I eat one or two oranges a day to counteract my insulin, but my blood sugar numbers are in the 40's to 80's so I've quit the insulin until my Dr. can re-evaluate my status. I dropped 20 pounds within the first 25 days yet have plateaued recently but refuse to give up.
