SAN ANTONIO -- Sandi Stough used to weigh 280 pounds and had problems managing her type-two diabetes.But Stough claims that after she tried the Slow Starch Diet, she lost 105 pounds and reversed her diabetes."My blood sugar went so low I had to change my medicine, quick," Stough said in an interview with KSAT 12 News.The architect of the diet, Dr. George Troxler of the University Health System, said that he came up with the diet because of the high number of diabetes cases in the city.Troxler's diet is simple. It's based on low-fat, low-glycemic foods, which he said leaves people feeling full without the large amounts of sugar and fat other foods contain.Dieters can go online to view Troxler's diet, which contains three columns. Foods in column A are foods dieters should stay away from. Foods in column B are OK to eat once in a while, and foods in column C can be eaten anytime.For Stough, the diet makes sense for her well-being."It's not a diet, it's a way of life," she said.
