QuestionHi Sally
My husband happened to be looking something up on the computer and ran across this question that Dick Herman from Nevada asked about his wife being on the Hollywood Diet and becoming a type one diabetic. I am really curious to see if any investingating was done on his behalf. My husband printed Dicks artical for me because it sounded like a wrote it. You see I too am 5' tall and went on the Hollywood Diet and lost weight without any exercise. I think I lost a little less then his wife did, however I also wound up in the hospital for 3 or 4 days with my sugar reaching over 600 and now am a type 1 diabetic with no family history of diabeties. I just think that it is very strange or a real big coincadence that the same exact thing happened to both of us. The doctors said that my sugar was fine three months prior to this (they could tell by the AC1 blood test)but my pancreas was tottaly shut down. They said the only thing they could think is that a virus that I did not no about attached it and shut it down. They could not come up with anything else. So I would like if you could give Mr Herman my e-mail address because he asked if you know of any similar cases and now you do. Thank you very much. I will wait to hear from you or and Mr Herman.

AnswerDear Debbie Branda,
At first, I hope your dreams come true.
If you are trying to lose weight, aim to lose 1 to 2 pounds per week. If you are able to attain your goal, you would get the excitement to go on your plan. Sometimes it is little things that count the most when working toward your goals.
The combination of diet and exercise is a faster way to lose weight, but it depends on the person’s body and how strict his diet. A strict diet could make you lose 3kgs in a week. Weight loss is just an uphill battle. You have got to keep on fighting. You must figure out why you lose the battles you lose and pray like hell you win the war.
Due to lack of your elaborated details & particulars (your country - climate - profession - age - daily lifestyle & the like things), I would recommend only few suggestions, though these may help you lot:
The available recipes are water and vegetables and fruits and proper sports and a strict partner.
1.The vegetables and fruits include papaya, mealie, kelp, carrot, green cucumber, tomato, apple, pear, banana and so on. Remark, eating different kind of vegetables or fruits each day, you can go on your diet easily and everlastingly.
2.The available sports are Yoga. You know, the people who practice yoga have perfect figure. If you are interesting in it, I could give you some suggestions about yoga practice.
3.A strict partner can support you going on your diet strictly.
4.The foremost austerity is persistence.
Now, I would like to share my experience with you.
First of all, I had a nice partner. We restricted each other going on the diet strictly.
1.Getting up early in the morning, we drank a glass of water before any action. It could help you clean your inside.
2.We had a 20-30 minutes’ quick walk to office instead of bus in the morning. It is available to burn your calories to have a quick walk without eating anything in the morning.
3.After arriving at office and having a rest, we drank a glass of milk and ate 2 pieces of biscuit as our breakfast. Remark, you must have breakfast.If not, you could feel too hungry to go on your diet.
4.Between breakfast and lunch, we drank 3 glasses of water and eat little raw vegetables or fruits. It is available to relieve your hunger. If you still feel hungry, you can eat a piece of sweet. Just only one piece.
5.Before lunch, we drank a bottle of yoghurt. And then we ate a little vegetables or fruits as our lunch. We would eat a few peanut as our lunch too. Remark, it could make you feel full drinking a bottle of yoghurt before each meal. Drinking much water, you eat peanut, feeling full.
6.Between lunch and knocking off, we drank 3 glasses of water and eat little raw vegetables or fruits to relieve our hunger.
7.Knocking off, we had another 20-30 minutes quick walk to home. It is available for weight loss having proper exercises at dusk with hunger.
8.We just drank a little soup or ate a little vegetables or fruits as our supper. Remark, drink one or two glasses of water and don’t eat anything in the 3 hours’ time before going to bed.
My suggestions:
1.After having gone on your diet for 3-4 days, you can feel better and easier to continue. Therefore go on your diet strictly in the first week.
2.Try to achieve your goal of weight loss in 1~2 months. It could make you possess confidence in this field.
3.Have 5 meals instead of 3 meals every day.
4.Eat more fruits and drink less fruit juice.
5.If you don’t feel hungry, don’t remind you of the time to have a meal.
6.Drink a glass of water before each meal.
7.Don’t trial too many diet pills, it would cost you more and be dangerous for your body.
8.Attentively, proper sports could perfect your figures, strong sports could strengthen your muscle.
9.If you can’t find a strict partner, you can treat me as your companion, feeling free to tell me how about your diet. It is my honor to interact with you in this field. I would try my best to give you more suggestions and share my experience and accompany you going on the diet.
O.K. If you still have any questions, please do not hesitate to write to me.
Best wishes,
Sally Fan
