Dear Anonymous:
You know that is so interesting. I lost 45 lbs in 6
months doing pretty much what you are talking about but
I was also adding weight training the last couple
months. Worked up from not being able to walk 1/4 mile
to walking 4 miles a day or so.
And I was NOT eating after dinner.
I am convinced that exercise is a key because of the
insulin action. Studies have shown that exercise
decreases insulin resistance as does weight loss.
I found I could eat moderately high carb stuff with very
little impact.
And I've gained 15 lbs in 6 months (most of it the last
2 months) since I quit exercising.
My starting weight was 347. Now I'm down to 317 as of
this morning.
I was also on Chromium picolinate (twin labs brand) and
it was extremely helpful.
