Do you have your own private office or just a cubicle in an open area?

I add one tablespoon of ground Flax seed to enhance the cholesterol-fighting character of oatmeal and some fresh blueberries or dried cranberries for anti-inflammatory support.

I added you.

Thank you Dee! I still have some more to go. But since I look upon my effort as a lifestyle change rather than a diet, I've got time on my side. :smile:

I'm new to this group. I was diagnosed a Type 2 Diabetic in March when my A1c was reported at 8.3% with elevated blood pressure and elevated cholesterol. At that point, my doctor started writing a prescription for Metformin. I quickly interrupted him and stated I would rather manage my blood sugar through diet and…

Cut out all baked goods and starches totally for 30 days. No bread, no white potatoes, no pasta, no sweets for 30 days. Eat one grapefruit and two apples (I prefer Granny Smith) everyday in between your three meals. Add Psyllium Husks Powder to a tall glass of water and drink it quickly (three times a day). For breakfast,…

The bathroom scale has its own unique limitations that make it imperfect. Its absolute accuracy could be questionable (most consumer market scales are) and its repeatability could fluctuate by up to a pound or more. The common bathroom scale uses load cell technology which is affected by relative humidity. And where do we…

If you're retaining fluids like I was, add parsley and/or dandelion to your diet as they are both powerful diuretics and are particularly great for normalizing your blood serum sodium ratio. Cheap, easy, and painless to implement by using as a garnish on all your proteins and in fresh salads. I forgot to mention that I've…

What type of diabetic are you, Type 1 or Type 2? If a Type 2 like me, try taking what I take: L-Arginine, L-Carnitine, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Chromium and Cinnamon everyday. Also, start consuming Psyllium one to three times a day and two tablespoons of ground Flaxseed to increase your soluble fiber intake. You'll reduce your…

Hi Natasha, I lost weight through strict diet before joining MFP. Then I stalled so I started walking 30 minutes a day. I eventually again hit a plateau so I bought a bicycle and joined a gym. I walk and ride as often as possible. I go to the gym everyday for one hour which I split into half hour cardio and half hour…

Okay, I started my weight loss effort in April of this year to reverse negative health indicators. I lost 47 pounds so far, and I plan to lose at least another 20 pounds before I increase my calorie limit beyond 1280 calories. Now, I feel great. I based my weight loss effort on three rules. 1 - no baked goods and no fried…

"Hmmm this is something to consider with my situation. My husband has Type 1 Diabetes. Perhaps that might affect his testosterone. I'll try to talk with him to have it checked. Thanks for sharing." Type 1 Diabetes explains it. Often when you're a diabetic and you're inactive (like a couch potato in front of the TV), your…
