She reduced her calorie intake. She ingested foods high in soluble and insoluble fiber. She doubled her servings of green leafy vegetables. She reduced her consumption of sugary drinks. She ate a variety of nuts and seeds. She increased her water intake. She worked out thirty minutes in the gym. She climbed one flight of stairs, and then took the dog for a walk.

Interesting conclusion, Marjan. I’ll have to look into that; not that I’m overweight. I never was or am. This year, however, my GP wanted me to lose weight because of my risk for high blood pressure. [Runs in the family. In fact, my dad died of complications after a stroke.] So, now I’m thin after losing 12 pounds. How did I do it? Less processed foods, more vigorous exercise including brisk walks and working out with weights and increasing the drinking of plain water. It worked!

Thank you Krystyna for your honesty and sharing your personal story. And congratulations for losing 12 pounds.
Better to have eaten her food fast than to have eaten fast food ;-)
