My pleasure - glad it had the same effect on you as on me.

I hope they watch it and it helps.
I posted it on my T2D sisters Facebook page. I expect it to go "unliked" and un-commented on just like everything else I've ever shared with her. If it were cash angels or something, I'd get a response!0 -

It's nice to know someone listens to me. Lol
It's been hours and no one has liked or commented on it, but she's shared a bunch of cheesy Facebook stuff and liked my new profile pic. Lol0 -

Is it possible a basic shortcoming of the human condition is at play here?
Perhaps something like:
(Just wondering.....)Helpful advice tends to be dismissed as urban (rural) legend if it:- Does not taste good;
- Comes from siblings with their *kitten* together (figuratively, Metformin notwithstanding); or
- Looks like its intellectual digestion might burn too many calories for the recipient to remain comfortably camped in the "sedentary" category,
- Cheesy Facebook stuff pretty much automatically qualifies as "reality."

No doubt!
I wish she would get serious though. She's in seriously poor health. The lack of action drives me crazy!0 -
Warning: Ted Talks can be addicting. Thanks for reposting this one. 0

@Sunny_Bunny_ I hope your sister watches it! Hopefully over time your persistence will pay off
I am about to get persistent with my Mother. I think she is finally open to change since she has had a really bad year healthwise. She has finally losing weight, and has cut alcohol out of her diet completely (after 2 trips to the ER for heart arrhythmia). She is on the edge of having diabetes, and her doctor is encouraging her to go to the ADA nutrition class at the hospital... Noooo! I read the pamphlet and sample diet and there was bread in there! I hope she watchest his video...0 -
Enjoyed the TED talk, which prompted me to check out the speaker.
I found that Dr Halberg has a site fitteru.us that has a lot more videos.0 -

Thanks for the link - lot's of good information there!
Here is another great presentation - a podcast by low-carb diet expert Dr. Stephen Phinney, Long-Term Stalls and Weight Gain Even On A Well-Formulated Low-Carb Diet.
This is nearly 2 hours of captivating and informative question and answer by a genuine expert.
(You can download it to play in your car or listen online.)
Dr. Phinney is a co-author of The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living, which is free on Kindle Unlimited.
(I haven't read it yet, but it's next on my list after listening to Dr. Phinney's illuminating podcast discussion.)
The accompanying website Art and Science of Low Carb is also a good resource. It's not extensive, but what's there is interesting. There are a few videos here.

Oh interesting. I've seen them mentioned before but never watched any. I'm not much for videos. I watched this though and shared on my fb, I wonder if any of my over weight diabetic friends will even watch it0
