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!
- normal range: 80-100 mg/dL
was: 246 mg/dL
is: 128 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.

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
