I don't know about EQEasyBuzz, but I've lost 38 lbs. since June 1st with the 1972 Dr. Adtkins Diet Revolution low carb diet. I eat almost no carbohydrates but eat protein and fats and drink lots of water instead. Carbs turn to glucose (sugar) in your body and are used to fuel your daily activities. But if you don't burn the glucose up within 24-48 hours, your body converts it to fat and stores it for future use.

If you stop eating the carbs, and eat protein and fats instead, your body looks to those fats stores to burn for your daily activity energy and you lose weight. Your body goes into "ketosis" which means fat burning. You get to eat, you don't deprive yourself (except the carbs), you don't count calories, or have to pay for expensive prepackaged programs to lose weight.

Today, I had some scrambled eggs cooked in olive oil and some bacon for breakfast. For lunch, I had a ribeye steak and some grilled asparagus. By the time dinner came around, I was not hungry but had two string cheese sticks for a snack while watching TV.

I am 68 years old and two weeks ago I had my annual primary care checkup with complete blood work. My doctor was extremely pleased with my weight loss and all of my blood numbers were within normal range. My BP has come down and I feel great. I walk an hour a day every morning and feel much lighter on my feet. And BTW, my total cholesterol is 106, not what most people think it would be from eating fats.

So dump the carbs because they make your blood sugar spike and that's what makes you hungry. Burning your body fat for energy levels out your blood sugar and doesn't lead to being hungry that you mentioned. Get rid of all sugars, even the hidden ones. You have to be willing to stop eating breads, chips, crackers, potatoes, cakes, cookies, candies, fruits, corn, anything that is mostly sugar. I can eat beef, pork, chicken and fish. Eggs, cheese, and small amounts of salad type vegetables. Remember, eating fat doesn't make you fat. Eating processed carbs that convert to fat is what makes you fat. No matter what the government food pyramid says.

We all weighed a lot less when we were younger. Eating processed carbohydrates adds fat to our bodies over time and one day we wake up and wonder why we are fat. You can get rid of it many different ways but at our age it is not easy. This way of eating (zero -5 grams of carbs a day) sheds your existing weight and gives you energy to boot. Caution: Once you start eating processed carbohydrates again or too many simple carbs and sugars, you will gain the weight back. This is pretty much a change in your food lifestyle.

Good luck.
