I'm a forty*mumble* year old with multiple chronic illness issues including fibromyalgia, hashimoto's thyroid disease, migraines, endometriosis, myofascial pain, and prediabetese and the list goes on...

I have 3 kids (age 27, 16, and 20), one grandson and another grandchild on the way.

I used to do Carb Addicts, lost plenty of weight, and kept it off for several years--even donating a kidney to my brother. But then, the thyroid and fibromyalgia kicked in and exercising became hard. Then the endo kicked and and carbs became essential to my life.

I'm hoping South Beach works as well for me as Carb Addicts did.
