Have you had alot of challenges in the past with losing weight? All the trying i've done in the last few years hasn't been very successful. If you are a similar case as me then I know it will work similar for me too.

I'm in Michigan USA. As for the weight issues, I've never really lost weight to be honest. I was a little bit chubby as a younger kid, but barely noticeable. However, as my weight grew fairly consistently. As I was growing in height as well, so the problem was masked. I still looked fit and healthy. However, when I stopped growing upwards... I did not stop growing outwards lol.
I gained a lot in college and I tried twice to do a diet. One was a no-carb which lasted only a few weeks. The other one was south beach diet. Neither did any noticeable results.
My screenname has to do with the book Wheat Belly (Dr. William Davis). There are a lot of issues with genetically modified wheat that create a lot of body fat and trick your body into thinking you are hungry more times than you should be (and for more food). I've passed that information all on to Shannon and I believe some of his research indicated similar things. I basically quit eating all wheat products and bread. I do not count carbs or do atkins. I have plenty of rice, potatoes, and fruits for carbs, just not wheat. Enriched/bleached flour also has several bad chemical properties (research Alloxan that they give lab rats to induce diabetes -- surprise... the chemicals used to enrich/bleach flour has an output of a lot of Alloxan).
The sub however, has been the real game changer for me. I am almost totally done with the first stage, and I just don't find myself hungry like I used to. One IMPORTANT note though, I missed a day yesterday due to some unexpected travel and I actually had my stomach growl and felt hungry way more than usual. When I got home I immediately started playing the sub, and within about 10minutes those feelings subsided!
