A cruise designed for people who follow low-carb diets is teaching passengers the eating approach one woman says helped her lose weight and keep it off after decades of trying.
Low-Carb Cruise
Debbie Hubbs, 73, of Arizona, helped create the Low Carb Cruise after low-carb eating jump-started her weight loss. The annual cruise began after Hubbs met a woman in an online weight-loss chat room in 2008.
The Low Carb Cruise has sailed 20 times, featuring seminars that focus on reducing carbohydrates rather than following one specific low-carb plan. Passengers eat meals together and take part in group activities throughout the trip.
Michelle Hall, a Low Carb Cruise committee member, said many passengers are familiar with the frustration of trying diet after diet. Hall had gastric lap band surgery in 2011 and lost almost 100 pounds without changing what she ate. However, when she later removed the band, she started gaining weight.
In June 2020, she tried the keto diet that she had dabbled with before, and this time, it stuck, she said. Hall believes the biggest hurdle to changing the way a person eats is often mental.
