 Today's
the day! We're finding out how Oprah and members of our audience
did on the program that became all the rage a month ago — the
Carbohydrate Addict's Lifespan Program.For 42 out of 57 audience members, it worked wonders. They lost a total of 569 pounds! For the other 15... well, they gained a total of 23 pounds. If your results are similar, you're not alone. Oprah says that while her cravings stopped, she feels deprived, tired and irritable. Other audience members say they experienced carb withdrawal, constipation, and yo-yo diet effects on their metabolisms. In response, the Hellers say the program can and should be altered for individual progress. "That's why there are options in the book to modify the program," Rachael says. Dr. Christine Northrup, author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom, suggests fighting carb withdrawal by slowly weaning yourself from them. Make the switch from white rice to brown, or from white bread to whole grain in order to slowly reduce your carb levels. Also, if you're still eating large quantities of carbs at meals, look for hidden triggers. The need for large amounts of food is something that should dissipate within the first week.  There's
plenty of success to celebrate, however. Carol and her daughter
Brenda lost a total of 36 pounds! Audience members Linda and Holly
bonded over their mutual carb cravings at our first show, and now
go grocery shopping together. They've lost 36 pounds! Christina
and her husband Roger have lost 23 pounds! Roger says he's never
felt better — he's now their family's shopper and chef.Everyone agrees the program taught them a lot about triggers and cravings. Oprah says that while she only lost four pounds, she's "learned a lot about my own body...that's a wonderful lesson." For her, the experience is proof that "you can't look outside yourself for answers, you've got to look within." Follow Ups On Well-Remembered Guests  Teri
was fairly skeptical about the Lifespan Program during
the first
show in October. She felt downright "drugged" after
eating carbs. The last time we saw Teri, she'd lost
seven pounds. Since then she's kicked her carb habit
and lost 19 and a half pounds - down two dress sizes
and no longer suffering as much back pain. Kelly's
been with us since the first
food addiction show with Gary Zukav. Last time we
saw her she'd lost ten pounds and shared how she learned
to change a "cookie attack into a reward meal." Kelly
hasn't weighed herself, but her clothes have become
looser. We weighed her before the show and she's lost
16 pounds! Kelly says she has begun exercising and learning
new ways of cooking. Remember
Twinka? She was the carb addict who had to remind herself to eat
lunch after she started the plan! She's lost nine pounds and feels
her life has been given back to her. "I'm not passing out after
meals anymore", says Twinka. Her energy has skyrocketed over the
past month and she's committed to doing the program the rest of
her life.*Once again before beginning any dietary changes you should consult your doctor.
