Hi this is Rosa María from Mexico.

Hi, Raeo. I’m sorry to read of your troubles, and am ready to help however I can. Do you have specific questions or concerns? If not, I will start with mine:
– Have you been on weight loss plans in the past? What were the obstacles?
– I see that you generated some menus here. Have you had a chance to try them out? If so, how is it going? If they don’t suit you, I can work with you toward a better fit.
– If you have diabetes, be sure to keep it well-controlled to support healing of the cellulitis. Adequate protein is also important. Note that our plans are low in carbohydrates for glucose control and high in protein.
-If there’s something specific on your mind, please do repost here, and I will get back to you.I just started this plan today. I am heading to the grocery store tomorrow. May I follow say Sunday’s meal plan and duplicate it for entire week or do I have to follow each days plan ( Mon, Tues, Wed etc etc plan for the week?
Hi Ossie –
I’m back and hope to be successful this time. I took your advice and started with IF but I add a yoghurt for breakfast. The food during the day is less, so I’m managing much better. Cross your fingers for me please!!
