[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 192047, member: 3907"] Witz, husband is on a customized program designed for him by a bariatric specialist. Our GP said that husband would die within 10 years if he didn't do something about his weight, and then put him in touch with this doctor. The program is based on the Glycemic Index, but then further customized based on each patient's blood chemistry, medical history, etc. husband has heart and thyroid issues, so the bdoc keeps a very close eye. Before the program, husband and I were doing the G.I. diet, and he lost about 50 lbs. Since he started seeing this doctor in March 08' he's lost a further 150 lbs or so. It's a fairly simple diet, but it's hard because it's so strict. Overall it's based on the idea of retraining your body to burn fuel at maximum efficiency. He started out with a very limited list of foods (lean meat, leafy green vegetables, no dairy, no fruit, etc.), and week by week they've been adding food back to his diet based on his blood chemistry and progress, If your co-worker can get in to see a bariatric specialist, then he might be able to get a similar program developed. I don't think all of the obesity specialists take this approach...this doctor is the only one in the province of Ontario. But the G.I. diet might be a good start. Let me know if you'd like the book references and I can PM you with them. As for the car, yes, it's wonderful to have something that's well suited to me. I haven't been enthusiastic about driving in years. Today, I kept asking "do you mind if I drive?" Trinity [/QUOTE]
