Back in January of 2011 I started one of my very first patients on Tim\u2019s version of the slow carb diet.<\/p>\n

She was highly motivated and became one of my most successful patients to date.<\/p>\n

I say this not only because she went on to lose over 85 lbs. But because she has diabetes, was on five oral medications prior to beginning the diet and was injecting 60 Units (that is a lot) of long acting insulin each night.<\/p>\n

She kept a diary for her first 2 weeks on the slow carb diet and was kind enough to give this to me to share with you. I have had this for over a year. Below are days 1-5 with a section of notes and questions she had compiled to ask me on her follow up visit.<\/p>\n

I would encourage you to keep a diary as well. It serves as a source of motivation and decompression. And better yet when you reach your goals it will be a reminder of the struggles you overcame. \u00a0A reminder of what you can accomplish when you set a goal and stick with it!<\/p>\n I would love it if you sent me your diaries as well. You can keep them as\u00a0anonymous\u00a0as you would like and I will be happy to share them here in future posts. \u00a0Email as an attachment to stephen@4hourlife.com or use my contact form<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Back in January of 2011 I started one of my very first patients on Tim\u2019s version of the slow carb diet.
