Decided on Dr. Poon

Hey ya'll!

So for months now i've heard about the doctor Poon Metabolic Clinics and all the success stories but was skeptical. The diet is a metabolic diet. You will focuses more on quality vs. quantity of food. It's high protein, low carb, and low sugar.

I lost 60 pounds back in 2011 but due to stress I put back on about 40 of those pounds in 2013/14. For some reason I can't seems to get it off this time around. I just don't have the drive to work out and  research methods of eating a way that my body responds to. Well Last month i was feeling a lot of pain and went to the doctor. I did a ultra sound and come to find out I have a 3cm cyst on one of my ovaries. IT TIME FOR CHANGE! I know for a fact this is due to the hormonal changes I'm going thorough due to my horrible eating, lack of exercise, and weight gain. 

I went to the walk in clinic that i've been going to years and got a referral. I had to do blood work and once the results came back then faxed it off to Dr. Poons clinic and surprisingly they called me back the next day (A SATURDAY!). I have an appointment set for April 9th and boy am I excited! All the reviews, comments, blogs from people on this diet rav about the success they've experienced. 

My concerns? Well i am a CARB-A-HOLIC! gurlllll, i love me some rice, cakes, cookies, bread! This diet focuses more on veggies and meats from what I hear. The information on the actually diet is very slim as confidentiality is major when you sign-up. But the great thing is I know complex carbs are not good for me anyways, so i'm looking forward to weening off of them. so anyways let me get to my stats:

SW (Starting weight): 187.2lbs
GW (Goal Weight): 140.0 lbs
Breast: 35
waist: 34
hips:46
Height 5'6

I am pear shaped so I carry a lot of my weight in my hips and bum (which I am totally happy with that, LOL!)

One more thing, I have A LOT of food allergies and suffer from the effects of that. I have extreme bloating, water retention, skin problems, low density hair, low immune system, and extreme fatigue. I am looking forward to getting rid of this symptoms just as much as the weight loss! 

Pray for me ya'll! I will get back to you and let you know how my appointment went!
