Today I’m finally under 180 lbs
 
I’ve always been hungry.  It’s the kind of hungry that is like ex smokers feel, craving a cigarette.  I’m not so hungry any more.
 
On 7/14/15 I was 197 lbs after being a vegetarian for 17 years.  Sometime before this I began riding my bike 10 miles per day, round trip to the sanctuary.  I started the Bulletproof diet and by September had dropped to 187 where I stayed until last month.  Bulletproof added grass fed meat to my diet.  With no better results, by Jun 3, 2017 I switched to Veestro, a vegan pre packaged diet where each meal was between 200-400 calories.  I have been eating that, three times a day since then with the rare meal out with Howie.  Still my weight has hovered right around 187.  On April 12, 2018 I watched a video by Dr. Gundry about the necessity of pre-biotics (not probiotics) and what enticed me to try it was the claim that if the gut flora was being fed properly I wouldn’t have those “I’m starving down here!” signals sent to my brain.
 
The product arrived on April 17 and within 3 days I was noticeably less hungry.  I weighed 182.4 that day.   I decided to capitalize on that and add the powder to my morning coffee, with grass fed butter, and drop from 3 of the Veestro meals a day to two.  That would be a max of 800 calories a day and usually around 600.   I’m very happy to be under 180 today at 179.8.  It took 3.5 weeks to lose 3 lbs, but I’m still very excited.  I’m sleeping better at night, but that’s probably because of my lack of calories and activity level, that I’m just exhausted.
 
Hi, I’m Carole Baskin and I’ve been writing my story since I was able to write, but when the media goes to share it, they only choose the parts that fit their idea of what will generate views.  These are my views and opinions. If I'm going to share my story, it should be the whole story.  The titles are the dates things happened. If you have any interest in who I really am please start at the beginning of this playlist: http://savethecats.org/
 
I know there will be people who take things out of context and try to use them to validate their own misconception, but you have access to the whole story.  My hope is that others will recognize themselves in my words and have the strength to do what is right for themselves and our shared planet.
