After being told by her doctor she was pre-diabetic due to her high blood sugar levels and the dark blotches on her face and neck. Caroline decided it was time for a change. At the time, Caroline was 22 years-old and weighed over 300-pounds, a weight dangerous for her 5’2″ frame.
So how did she do it.
1.Caroline removed what her physician regarded as white foods completely from her diet – all products made with flour, sugar, rice, pasta and potatoes.
2. Instead of relying on the Metro subway system in her hometown of Washington, DC, Caroline began walking everywhere she went.
She lost 30 lbs the first two months and within 18 months, she lost over 150lbs. Now 32, Caroline has maintained her weight loss via consistent exercise and disciplined eating.
On the journey
"Experience has taught Caroline that “losing weight and keeping it off is 85% healthy eating and 15% exercise. Healthy eating is washing the car and exercise is shining the rims.”
Caroline has lost and maintained her weight to this day without gastric bypass surgery, fad diets or commercial weight loss programs and decided to share her weight loss journey, revelations and strategies in a book, called Half My Size: How I Ate To Lose 150 lbs.
She has been Good Morning America and Access Hollywood. She’s also a public speaker that has provided weight loss tips and cooking and fitness demonstrations on different TV shows and magazines.
