in Success Stories
Years ago I was diagnosed with runaway diabetes, high blood pressure and "immeasurable" cholesterol. Your triglycerides are to be under 150. Mine were 3,576 just two years ago. After many visits to various doctors we had pounded that number down to 550. As you may expect I received 3 stents on March 29th of this year. Sunday I will turn 50. After the heart procedure I have become obsessed with my diet and exercise habits. A big part of that was finding myfitnesspal.com and tracking everything I do. To the amazement of my doctors, my family and myself I had new blood numbers pulled Sunday. My tri’s are down to a low 93 and cholesterol is at 85! Movement that is unbelievable in just 26 days. This application has allowed me to get a handle on what I eat and how bad I was doing when I thought I was doing well. Thank you.

    There was a main feature article in New Scientist about exactly that last year. See if you can find it online. It was about patients with severe diabetes being cured by having surgery that meant they had to eat cleanly.

    Well done. People like you are amazing.
