Jackie Parmly: From Eating Disorder To Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb!

The Jackie Parmly story is one of near tragedy to amazing triumph

Whenever I read about someone who has decided to start livin’ la vida low-carb and the remarkable changes that take place in their life as a result, it just puts an extra spring in my step and a renewed joy and excitement in my heart that this way of eating is STILL impacting those who are overweight or obese and want desperately to lose weight and get healthy.

For someone like Jackie Parmly, though, finding the low-carb lifestyle was a gift from God that perhaps saved her from self-destruction.

Her weight issues began after she got pregnant with her first child at the age of 18. Jackie ballooned up to 270 pounds during the pregnancy and her weight never came back down after her daughter was born. It was a full ten years later before she was able to lose any weight at all, but then she was doing it like most obese people think they have to do it.

Her diet was the typical low-fat, low-calorie ones that have long been promoted as the “healthy” way to eat, but then something horrible happened to Jackie–she developed an eating disorder “on purpose.”

Jackie would quite literally go to every fast food joint you can imagine, stuff her face with all that garbage, junk food, wash it down with a huge soft drink and then she would “purge.”

To make matters worse with this situation, Jackie was dealing with some rather tense and emotional issues in her life which made her hit rock bottom in her life. She found a diet web site which helped her lose 40 pounds in five months, but she was miserable and felt she was going to weigh 250+ pounds for the rest of her life.

But then, as fate would have it, Jackie was in a bookstore one day just browsing around the diet books section when she saw a copy of Dr. Atkins’ New Diet Revolution book and an incredible chain of events followed that you’re never gonna believe. It would permanently alter her life for the better.
