 Dr Jim Waller moved to a low carb diet over 20 years ago, as part of a healthy lifestyle and because of his family history of significant cardiovascular disease. Dr Jim Waller is a retired colorectal surgeon.

Betsy was in the Women’s Army Corp. She was then a Vocational Rehabilitation Counsellor and has lifelong interest in movement therapies, sports medicine, kinesiology and yoga.

Betsy met Jim in 2020, 51 years after graduating the same high school class. They had both lost their spouses and they got together and are now married.

Betsy thought she was eating healthily when she was stuck in the belief system that she now calls the “dark years”. What seemed logical kept her in lifelong restrictive eating patterns in order to subscribe to “calories in – calories out” with the belief that most meat is bad. 

With Jim’s long experience of low carb she has learned to love beef and to focus on protein. Betsy discovered The Fabulously Keto Podcast in 2021 and is an avid listener. Using The Fabulously Keto Diet and Lifestyle Journal she continued to modify and use it as a consistent method to “assess, plan, implement and evaluate”

Betsy subscribes to weighing daily. She plans Friday though Sunday as her best time periods to start and stop for weekly reflections. She may be moving from a lifelong abstainer to a moderator. She is also adopting a radical daily regime to end all showers and bathing with as much “cold” time to assist in her longevity habit.

 Karen Gaul says:

I’m 71 years old & have been dieting since the age of 9! Yes 9 years old…hard to believe but true.

My mum had taken me to our family GP with concerns about my development as I was somewhat bigger than my peer group. If more thought had been given then both mum & the GP would perhaps have realised I was at the start of puberty…earlier than most but true.

My early puberty resulted in decades of see-saw dieting following in the footsteps of my mum who was a serial dieter…I hadn’t known anything other than mum on a diet! Like so many I have a hundred & one reasons to diet & can probably tell you my weight at different stages of my life.

However my dad dying with Alzheimer’s in 2012 was a huge factor in my decision to not be in the same situation in my older years…at this stage I was almost 60!

It was time to make changes in all aspects of my life including sleep nutrition movement & mindset. A lower carb way of life was part of those changes & today I feel amazing. But a diagnosis of cancer last year made me realise if I hadn’t worked so hard my recovery post hysterectomy & subsequent treatment would have had a different outcome.

 Robert Cywes M.D., PhD is a clinically practicing doctor and surgeon in Florida and Idaho. His mission is educating the public about a carbohydrate addiction approach to treating obesity, diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Understanding the importance of replacing carbs in your diet with real food while simultaneously replacing carbs as a toxic, harmful response to emotional tension with a more effective diverse healthy set of emotion management tools for lifelong sustainability of mental and physical health, happiness and well-being. 

Converting people from toxic sugar burners to healthy fat (keto) burners while addressing the cause of addiction to carbs from an emotion management perspective. 

Sometimes using obesity surgery and devices as tools along the way, and helping people who have had bariatric surgery stay healthy and not relapse

 Bitten is a Registered Nurse since 1973, worked with addiction medicine since 1987 and sugar addiction since 1993. Developed a Holistic Addiction Treatment model, worked with group treatment for many years. She has been teaching and training professionals since 2012. 

Bitten is a recovering alcoholic and her understanding of addiction has been a 26 year journey. She started to learn about addiction in the 70s when she commenced her recovery from alcohol addiction. She fell in love with addiction medicine. She learnt that those recovering from drug and alcohol addiction who also smoke and eat junk food have a higher risk of relapsing.

After this ‘light bulb’ moment, she promptly quit smoking but would treat herself with chocolate and ice cream. She gained a lot of weight but she was also very tired. She was told she was a food addict and set out to learn more.

She started a group in 1995 and helped those with food addiction deal with the addiction. The low carb movement started in 2005 in Sweden. Bitten was told she was mentioned in a book.

The low carb sentiment is that if you stay low carb you can be healthy but it doesn’t take into consideration that some are “Food Addicts”, who can stop eating the problematic foods but can’t stay stopped.

Drawing on her understanding of addiction, she was able to translate this to food and food addictions.  Similarly to alcohol, social users of food can have a small piece of chocolate and then stop. Whereas harmful users of food are emotional eaters, comfort eaters. Food addicts have a different brain, they are biochemically unique. They don’t respond biochemically the same way as social users and harmful users. They are the most sensitive people.

Bitten developed a tool to differentiate between a harmful user and an addict. How much you eat and how often is not a criteria for addiction.  She teaches, trains and certifies them in the sugar instrument. 

Understanding  that addiction is chronic, progressive re-lapsable and deadly illness if you don’t arrest it. You don’t have a chance if you don’t embrace that. First you have to understand the illness, then you have to rewire the brain.  This is through eating the right types of food – such as the keto way of eating, with clean products, good foods, good fats and you have to figure out the fuel mix.  

Eating the right types of food minimises the chemical release in the brain.  These brain chemicals, particularly those that release dopamine is important.  Increasing tolerance to dopamine is built up over time with the types and amount of food that is eaten.  You eat more and more even though you feel miserable. It gives an initial high then it makes you depressed, moody, sad, unpleasant, tired, nothing is fun and you lose all your energy. You are not clinically depressed, you have lost energy on a cellular level.  

Bitten says get the addiction under control first for at least two years before doing any therapy. Changing the way she eats, she has become less swollen and able to move more. She has increased her energy and feels better now she is 67 than in her fifties. Bitten is like a Ferrari, she has to fuel up. Food is her medicine and fuel. She makes sure she gets her nutritional needs met.
