It is funny that this post has came about. I actually gained my weight (60 lbs) from an experimental migraine medicine. In two years, I went from 125 to 185. Having been smaller all my life, it was devastating. I took myself off the medication about a year ago, but have only lost about 10 of the 60 lbs.
Then a friend, who is an MD, told me about IP. She really thought that it might be the shock my system needed.
I will tell you...I had an EXCRUTIATING headache the first night...migraine like where I got sick and was nauseas. Since that night...HEADACHE/MIGRAINE free for the first time in...most of my life!!! My bloodpressure is great, my cholesterol is awesome and most importantly...I FEEL AMAZING and still have 23 lbs to go!!!
My mom was initially concerned with the diet and how healthy it actually was. My words to her was, Mom, the fat that I am carrying around and that my heart is fighting against everyday is going to kill me much quicker than any diet will (barring pills
). I think anyone who is overweight has an obligation to get the weight off...one way or another. For themselves and for those they love!!!
Good luck with your decision...this one has been amazing for me!!!
