Craig Williamson
1.    What made this work?  I have always been a beef or
protein eater, and the ability to eat a lot of protein at each
meal made this program easier for me.  The other food
aspect was that there are low fat, low carb substitute
products available that I also enjoyed.  I'm still enjoying egg
beaters for four or five lunches each week.  You get a lot of
food without a lot of carb or fat intake.  The other ingredient
in my success was the exercise.  I'm a creature of habit, and
once I got started with the exercise, it just became part of my
daily routine.

2.    How has my life changed?  Simply, I am participating in
life now rather than spectating.  With my wife's and my weight
loss, we are now a very active family, skiing, biking, and
running with the kids.  We are truly having FUN!

3.    What made this time different?  I guess the biggest
difference is a subtle self confidence that I don't remember
ever having.  That, and now I kind of enjoy shopping for
clothes, whereas I previously dreaded the thought of
shopping.

4.    What was easiest about your weight loss plan with CNC?
 #1 above really answers this well.  I would add that I really
never was hungry.  I frequently had to force myself to eat just
to get my daily requirements.

5.    What was most difficult?  Initially, giving up some of my
favorite foods/drinks such as bread and milk.  These two
were significant parts of my previous diet, and giving them up
at the beginning was very hard.  That feeling passed with
time, and honestly now I have to remember to get my starch
and dairy foods in each day.  I don't really miss them now.  
The other hard part was eating around friends and family
and having to prepare meals specifically for these times.  I've
never been one to take a lot of time with food preparation,
but this program really places a premium on that investment
of time.  It paid off in the end.

Tracy, I wanted to thank you, Dr. Lazarus, and the staff at the
clinic for all your support, education and belief.  I could not
have been nearly as successful without you all!

Thanks again.
