I am very recently diagnosed type 2 diabetic so I jumped into the low carb, high protein deep end! I follow Dr. Hyman's book called The Blood Sugar Solution. That's where I started and have branched out to lots of other recipes. I second that endorsement of the Indian simmer sauces. I do broccoli and onions then the sauce…

I am a public affairs officer at a (US) federal agency. I work on the computer all day and I usually have mfp up to log my food, or get some inspiration to eat right during the day. I have an awesome office, and a great job for which I am very, very, very grateful especially after years of choosing super high stress 24…

I have Type 2 diabetes and cut out all carbs until my nutritionist (registered dietician) explained that you need 135 carbs a day to sustain brain function. Carbs are in many foods, not just bread so if you want to cut carbs, bread is a good place to start, just make sure to keep an eye on other sources. Most days my carbs…

I have been following it since I was diagnosed about 8 weeks ago. My FBS was 249 and my A1c was over 11. This morning my FBS was 118, and my endocrinologist expects I will be around 6 for A1c come next month when we test. I've lost 13 lbs (have 40+ to go. And while the dr did put me on crestor short term, I moved the…

I loved reading about everyon's photos. Mine is a few weeks ago, in my car, just after getting a trim, no makeup but feeling great with some weight loss!

nuts nuts nuts. It's what i was told by one of my mfp friends when I needed to eat more, but was going through a fear of food. i buy super cute kids snack bags at target and pack 24 (the going measurement on mfp) almonds in each one. two per day, though I carry 4 in my purse every where in case I get stuck. i also make a…

My A1c at diagnosis 6 weeks ago was over 11. I am not on any meds. I started beating back my FBS with diet and have been working so hard at it that the endocrinologist wants me to keep doing what I;m doing rather than add metformin. I am on crestor for cholesterol and hopefully that will be much lower, as will my A1C at…

Congratulations!! That is fantastic ... and soooo normal! Go you! I have yet to get that low except after exercise!

Based on this recipe: http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1285644/quinoa-supergreen-salad I tossed cubes avocado, chopped sugar snap peas, mint, lemon juice and quinoa. it was delicious! My mom and I both like to smear it into a salad so it coats like a dressing. make sure it is ripe (soft, not hard), or it won't taste like…

I was diagnosed less than one month ago. I realized that right now, while I am being incredibly strict with my eating to drive my numbers down, I can't really go out to eat. I find myself staring at and obsessing over the other person's food, even if they are having something I CAN eat. I have an easier time eating what I…

Clearly I must have spoken too informally (I used "second opinion" as a colloquialism). I know my numbers, of course, and there is no question about diagnosis. I am not comfortable taking one doctor's opinion of how to address what is, to me, a disease with many moving parts and differing opinions on the best way to tackle…
-
YES! I was going to ask the same question. I happened upon it by accident and watched parts 1 and 2. OMG!! It was amazing and informative and so well done (the part where the folks being interviewed against the white set all said in unison the names of the various diet plans? v powerful). I have the next two set to record.…

YOU LOOK AMAZING!! You must be so incredibly proud of yourself! What a phenomenal success!

He's horrible. And dead to you. This is who HE is -- a crap *kitten* person. and you are one in a long line of people he has offended. and other people know it. including your boss. He will go nowhere. you will do everything you want. it is not you. it is him. just sucks he made you feel bad. Actually, I really like the…

um, how do you post photos to in the replies? thank you! I snap a shot of everything i eat and send to my dietician, mostly as a diary. easier to log it after the fact, too.

Hi, I follow The Blood Sugar Solution by Dr. Hyman and asked my nutritionist about pea protein powder last week for morning smoothies. she did some research with her other clients and sent this: "the plant based protein powders tend to taste plant-like...especially Sunwarrior brand. I would recommend Vega One or Manitoba…

I do! It's phenomenal! How are you doing with it?

Hi there, I am new here (about a week), and newly diagnosed diabetic (10 days ago). I've dropped my blood sugar dramatically, changed my life and list 7 pounds and one pant size. I'm so happy to hear someone is doing it and getting the great results without being diabetic! I'm doing the advanced plan. Sometimes it's…

I have a bad right knee, too. Can't kneel, and I just got my Level 1 Yoga Teacher Training Certification (to teach and assist beginners and beginning intermediates, pre- and post natal moms). Yoga is for everyone! Every pose has modifications. If you go to classes where people are competitive, try a different class or…

For many of the reasons mentioned above, my nutritionist suggested I switch out flax seeds for chia.

Since I just started, I did the old Weight Watchers trick of 10% of my body weight as my FIRST goal. Because getting that amount of weight off will make a huge difference. From there, I may keep doing the 10% or just go for my whole number. It's important for me to not look at that little ladybug moving toward a big number…
