My Six Week Cure: Week 4

My Six Week Cure: Week 4 Results

On October 9, I completed the FOURTH WEEK of the program, outlined in:
The 6-Week Cure for the Middle-Aged Middle: The Simple Plan to Flatten Your Belly Fast! by Dr. Michael Eades and Dr. Mary Dan Eades

In Four Weeks:

I lost a total of 12 pounds and 2.5 inches from my belly!

My Fasting Blood Glucose has dropped by 118 mg/dL!

Sorry for the delayed results, but I left for the UK on October 9, and did not have time to post my final results before I left. So, this post shows my final results for my first round with the FIRST FOUR WEEKS of The Six Week Cure!

After the first four weeks of the 6-Week Cure, the Eades recommend that people who have more belly fat than can be lost in 4-6 weeks can repeat and alternate the 3+1 shake plan with the near-meat-only plan. Since I have more than 100 pounds to lose, I will definitely be repeating from weeks 1-4 for a while instead of proceeding to the maintenance plan.

Here are my measurements for week 4

Week	0	1	2	3	4
Date	9/12	9/19	9/26	10/3	10/9
Height	63	63	63	63	63
Weight	260	255	254	253	248
Pants	26W	26W	26W	26W	26W
T-Shirt	3XL	3XL	2XL	2XL	2XL
Waist	51	50	49.5	49.25	48.5
Hips	53	52	51.5	51.25	50.5
WHR	0.96	0.96	0.96	0.96	0.96
fBGL	246	209	161	112	128

Final Comments

I’m not sure what happened to my blood sugar during the last week, but I’m still very happy that it is so close to normal. I probably had a few indulgences towards the end there…

I bought some protein powder yesterday so I can start over. I am hoping to get at least a partial round in before Thanksgiving. Starting tomorrow, I’ll do two weeks of the protein shakes, and then do the meat diet until the end of November, except for a couple of “free meals” I’ll take for my family’s various Thanksgiving celebrations. I’ll post results monthly from now on, instead of weekly, so I can do more posting about topics other than the Six-Week Cure.

After completing only 4 weeks of the six-week program, I feel that this is one of the most successful and helpful “weight-loss programs” I have come across in a long time. This experience has shifted my opinion further towards the all-meat, or nearly-all-meat, diet. By the end of the four weeks, I was feeling better than I have in many years.

I did really well staying very low carb while travelling, until the last few days in London, where I ate less meat and more vegetables than I had previously. I took several pictures of the foods I ate in Wales, and am planning to post about that next week.

After I got home, I caught a mild cold, and went completely off Low Carb while recovering. I know that is a bad idea, but it’s done now, and I’m starting on the protein shakes again tomorrow! So, that’s that. Unfortunately, this lapse will have reversed some of the progress I made on my blood glucose before my trip!! But that, too, will recover.

So, That’s a Wrap!

Lovin’ It Low Carb

What a month! Congrats on such a spectacular result with this plan. You just may have found what you need to get the job done. It’s so true about the meat eating. There is something we need in saturated fat that makes me feel so much better than the old carb days.

You are definitely entering the “I’m healing my diabetes” hall of fame!!!

  Hi Rachel!!! It’s great to hear from you.
  It was quite a month. I thought I was going to blog as I traveled but that didn’t end up happening. Next time I take a trip, I hope to do better, so a whole month doesn’t go by between posts.
  Yes, I agree with you – it is so exciting, after I have looked so long, to finally find a solution that really works to stabilize my blood sugar.
  Thanks again for your engcouragement. I hope you’re doing well!!

I, too, am on the 6 Week Cure. I believe Dr. Eades said after completing the initial 4 weeks, that you can alternate one week shakes and one week meat, so you don’t have to stay 2 weeks on the shakes and 2 weeks on the meat.

  Hi Sharon!!
  You’re right. I think your version is more precise than what I said in my post. I hope you are doing well on the program!!
  
  I’m going to alternate the shakes and the meat for a while since I have a lot to lose, but I’m not sure how long I’ll stay on the shakes at one time. I might do just one week on shakes and alternate that with two or three weeks of meat.
