Cruise passengers learn diet trick that woman says made her weight loss finally stick

A cruise designed for low-carbohydrate diets promotes an eating approach some passengers say finally delivered lasting weight loss. Debbie Hubbs, 73, of Arizona, helped launch the Low Carb Cruise after jump‑starting her own weight loss. The voyage has grown from about 30 participants to over 360.

Seminars led by an oncologist, a cardiologist, and an internal-medicine physician anchor the program, along with group meals and activities. Hubbs says the cruise feels like sailing with friends, with dancing and costume parties that foster community. Attendees come from Europe, North America, and beyond, showing its international appeal. The focus remains on practical lifestyle changes rather than any single diet.
