Under the influence of my son Michael, my wife and I started  Eat to Live diet. I myself am carnivorous and this diet takes me in the opposite direction. To start this change of eating habits I will be on a 6 week detoxification. Eating lots of fruits, veggies, nuts and seeds. This is not easy to do. It has been only 5 days since we begun, I am experiencing spasmisms in the stomach and charlie-horse like symptoms in both lower legs and frequent urination. What's up with that? My starting weight is 218.5 lbs., midsection measurement of 44". I am 6' and 62 years old. I have had a history of high blood pressure and brder line diabetic.
               I complained to my wife about the depression I am experiencing. She told me to step on the scale and that the weigh-in would make me feel better. It did somewhat. I've lost 10 lbs ! Pretty good for 5 days, but a cheese burger would be fantastic ! Miss my hamburgers !
