Summary

Weight-loss enthusiasts may find inspiration from the story of John Smith, who tells scheadlines.com journalist Jimmy Moore that he lost 300 pounds -- dropping to 230 from 640 -- using the popular carb-cutting diet known as the Atkins diet.

Details

  • While he may have a generic, unassuming name, his weight loss in just over a year is just about the most incredible story I have heard from anyone regarding shedding pounds in my entire life!
  • Smith once weighed 647 pounds when he was addicted to food and had to give up his career as a professional cook in 1985 because his weight problem got to be too much for his health.
  • He, like so many of us who are now livin' la vida low-carb, could not eat enough food to satisfy our appetites.
  • Flippant comments about going on a diet and being a disgrace for a human being can wear on you.
  • But it goes without saying theye didn't work for him either.
  • And his health was getting worse, as you can imagine, with high blood pressure and diabetes overtaking his body and bringing him to the brink of an early grave.
  • Smith knew he needed to do something that would work this time and turned to the Atkins lifestyle to do it.
  • Interestingly, it was one of Smith's children who said he needed to try Atkins in April 2004.
  • So, after failing on every other weight loss program, he started the low-carb lifestyle.
  • The results have been so amazing for Smith that his doctor was flabbergasted, stating he had never heard of anyone losing 300 pounds without any surgery.
  • She noted that the 300 pounds Smith lost is the most she had ever heard anyone ever losing on the Atkins approach.
  • The next step for Smith is skin removal surgery known as an abdominoplasty because he has excessive layers of overlapping skin that need to be taken care of.
  • John Smith is a living, breathing example of what livin' la vida low-carb can do for people who need to lose weight and restore their health.
