SUSTAINING WEIGHT LOSS Has been following Vinnie on Twitter for a long time 55 years old, 6'4" 278 lbs at his heaviest Put on weight after college and could not figure out how to sustain weight loss He'd lose weight and gain it back Around Thanksgiving a couple years ago he realized he had to do something First had to kick his sugar beverage (soda) habit Quickly got him down around 15 or 20 lbs NSNG® has been the answer for him in terms of continuing weight loss and keeping the weight off When he cut calories instead to lose weight, he felt cold and sick Also tried veganism which did not work Finally found Gary Taubes, and it stuck He has felt great with NSNG® He is now down to 184 Possibly partly because of a cancer treatment he recently underwent, though prior to that he was 195 He now has no sign of cancer! Still has to go back for 5 years to make sure Anecdotally, he is convinced that his diet helped him survive his treatment It put him in a great position health wise prior to starting treatment in terms of weight, etc. His doctors back this up Vinnie feels his diet has helped make sure his leukemia doesn't come back, too
