Our Diet

Dave and I decided we needed to focus on our health a little this past summer.  We did not want to become obsessed with food, diets, exercise, outer appearance, etc.  We just wanted to take better care of the bodies God has given us.  And now was a good time for US.  No more excuses....no pregnancies, no long school days, no .....

So, we started watching what we ate and threw in a little exercise.  That only got us so far.  I had heard of this new diet on the news called the "Dukan" diet by Dr. Dukan.  I happened to see the book at a book store that was going out of business (if there's a good deal, I'm right on it :).  I read it and told David all about it.  He jumped on board and wanted to start it right away!  I was leery.  I sat on it for a little while making sure I was ready to mentally "buy in".  So, in August, after cleaning out our kitchen of junk food, we took the plunge.  Now fast forward to January.... David has lost 37lbs.  and I have lost 70lbs.  If you know anything about the terminology in the book, Dave is in stage 3-consolidation phase.  I am almost done stage 2-cruise phase.  We feel great! We know this is not the only diet out there and don't think it is for everyone but it worked for us.  For those who don't know much, here is his site http://www.dukandiet.com/The-Dukan-Diet
