For the last three to four years my Da has been unable to walk over long distances with out the use of a cane. He had severe back and joint pain which was debilitating and meant that he was unable to continue with his passion in life, mountain walking. At 5.7″, and almost 18st , he was obese and unhappy. I had first mentioned CNS to my mother, who didn't even make it through the first ten days, due to gaut. Then I got a phone call off my Da. He said that he was interested in the diet and had already started to cut out the carbs from his diet. I was happy that he started and all that was left to do was, fill him in on the does and don'ts and keep in contact over the first ten days. Well, it's three weeks in and he has dropped a stone and a half, and guess what, he is back mountain walking and all the pain he had is gone! Cheers for getting my Da back on the mountains Keifer.
