: The new thing for me is a potato

So I thought I would put a bit more about myself here.

I am a 37 male (almost 38 in 2 weeks) and have been trying to loose weight and control my food for what feels like all my life. I am 5' 6" tall and in my earlier twenties got to 16 & 1/2 stone in weight. While I am now around 13st 9lb I have been up and down for years. I am still around 2 stone higher than I want to be and my body fat percentage is in the obese range. I have studied so much about nutrition trying to find a what was not working for me. I have a diary allergy so cutting certain foods out is normal to me. My best friend is a personal trainer and qualified as a personal trainer myself a few years ago looking to find a solution.

I have tried in no particular order:

Exercise (cardio,strength, running, classes, yoga)
High Protein
Low Carb
Removing Wheat and other grains
Removing Overt Sugary foods
Breakfast
3 meals and 2 snacks a day
3 meals a day
Weight Watchers
Paelo
Clean Eating
Weighing my food and portion control
Food Diary / Journeling
Calorie Tracking with the My fitness Pal app
Seeing a counselor
Seeing a hypnotherapist
Seeing a weight loss specialist
Over-eaters Anonymous
Looking at going to rehab for overeating

Quite a long list when I type it all out. Interesting enough all the steps (apart from the potato) are there just never in combination.

2 days before finding the Radiant website and reading the book Potatoes Not Prozac I was researching going to overeaters residential rehab for a 28 day stay at the cost of around £9000. I was that desperate for a solution. I can't believe I have never found anything on sugar sensitivity before.

The relief I feel on finding out what my thing is is huge. Considering all the things I have tried in the past this process seems simple and easy even though I am sure living it might through up some challanges that I am not even aware of yet.

I have started the process.
