Francesco,

I recently went for a glucose tolerance test and passed with very good numbers. The fasting glucose before ingesting the sugar drink was down to 103 this time. I have to assume that the 127 reading 2 months ago was somehow flawed and my actual glucose level dropped from it's usual 110 - 112 to 103 which is what I expected with the diet, exercise and resulting weight loss.

From the first of the year up until the first week of May I was following the Fat Vanish #6 diet, doing aerobics 5-7x/wk and doing biceps,triceps,chest press, chest flies and stomach crunches 2x/wk. This resulted in a 28-29 lb loss and about 5" in the waist. We did a lot of vacationing in May. While on vacation I didn't exercise at all, ate whatever I wanted, and drank much more alcohol than usual. In between trips I would get back to the diet and just now am getting back to exercising. I'm surprised but elated to say that even though I gained a pound or two here and there, they came right off once I got back on the diet/exercise routine. This is a true testament to your methods.

I've been traveling a lot this summer so it's been tough to stay on a good weight lifting schedule but I have managed to keep off 95% of the weight I lost early in the year just by doing aerobics 2 -3 times a week and eating as close to the diet as possible while still enjoying an unlimited diet on our trips. Any weight that comes back during our vacations is lost again as soon as I get back to normal (your diet is now normal for me) eating.

Hi Francesco,

Well I made it through the holidays without putting on much/if any weight. With all the unhealthy eating and drinking it was a pleasant surprise. So I'm still maintaining the 28 -30 pound loss for the past 7 months.
