Do not, can't imagine, would not, ever. I always round up and generously. Life is too short to log spices.

Ed, my "case" TRUMPS no ones! Nor did I say it did - except in exasperation. This isn't a contest. I would never judge you or anyone else who has been through what we have been through with our families who have suffered from diabetes. Whether they took care of themselves or not. And I could not be more happy for you and…

Regardless of how much fun it may be.

Dentists don't recommend it? Duh! No surprise there. And, if you have some "proof" that it isn't a benefit, I am all ears... I will go with Mercola, because, well, if you look at the PAGES of links re: coconut oil and teeth/gum health, he might be the most mainstream:…

No Kama Sutra, no work outs...slippery, hard surfaces = ouch.

Come on, Chelle. Your reading comprehension skills are just fine. I never commented on sugar, the effect of sugar on diabetics or anyone else. I was very clear about my comment: if you want to talk about the effects of diabetes on people there may be more to it than the poster's experience with his friend. Period. And yes,…

Thank you for being gracious. I agree that technology has really improved treatment and we are much closer to a cure than ever. My sister died years ago before many of these advances. I would caution you though, there are still MANY juvenile diabetics that are considered "brittle" and their disease is much more difficult…
-
Seriously? I said absolutely nothing about sugar. Not a thing. I responded to the assertion that diabetics "if they've lost feet, or functions of other organs they have not managed their conditions properly or responsibly" is not true in all cases. And they got it and understood what I was saying. I am not trying to trump…

I would not be worried about the calories, as this is your "jump start" I would worry about FAT. You need fat. For your brain, for your skin, and hair, for well...everything. And adding tuna and chicken in a couple of weeks isn't going to cut it. I would be seriously sad and miserable, as well as unhealthy without eating…
-
If you are working with a nutritionist you should be talking to them about this. Especially since you say you have done this program before. Another thing I would speak to them about is how the program is going to help you not gain all the weight back like you did last time. I think the message you are getting is very low…

Don't you have your answer? Eating lots of bread and cheese makes you feel sick. Stop eating lots of bread and cheese. I am not trying to be snarky or mean, but it seems pretty simple to me. And you admittedly have a problem with overeating bread, so it is probably something you want to stay away from, no? Whatever you…
-
Sorry, just not so. My sister was a type 1 Diabetic and ultimately died at age 36 from it. And it wasn't because she did not "manage her condition properly or responsibly." Ugh. I am glad you have a friend with diabetes who is healthy, but you may want to reconsider making statements about diabetes in general in the future.

You are wrong. But that is okay, we can all believe whatever we want to believe. Happy Wonder bread to you and yours.

Saying bread is a complex carbohydrate is really saying nothing at all. What kind of bread? Wonder Bread? Ezekiel? They could not be more different in terms of carbohydrate amount per serving or fiber, or for that matter, they don't share a single ingredient. And whole wheat is often a misnomer for food coloring and…

I am so particular and fit and quality are very important to me. I think the bigger I got, the more important they became...and now, well I am really struggling finding the new me in terms of clothes. I naturally gravitate to the styles and cuts I wore when I was bigger. And now that I don't need to wear them...I am a…

I have been on and off HRT for over six years now. There is a LOT of misinformation about HRT out there and its safety. There are also lots of different kinds of HRT. I have tried the naturally compounded creams as well as pharm brand HRT. I have had two different rings and am now on the patch and take progesterone…

I love to roast carrots, leaks, and garlic together with a bit of EVOO. Instead of green bean casserole I buy the french skinny beans, cook them (I use the microwave) and add them to a huge pile of caramelized onion, portabella mushrooms, to which I have added a couple of slices of bacon (already cooked kind, less fat…

Okay, we get it peeps love their bread. You are eating toast, loving bagels, digging on sammies as you respond. Good for all of you... Personally, I found that in order to stop my cravings for bread, which lead to overeating of bread, and overeating in general, for me...I cut them out. Not forever, but for a significant…

My husband eats a T or 2 of it everyday, as well as cooks with it and uses it topically. He loves it, says it has improved his skin, nails, and hair. He also believes the swishing he does with it in his mouth has improved his gums. He is 58 years old, very pumped, plays baseball two to three times a week all summer and…

Just made it last night: Spaghetti Squash and garlic cloves : bake and scrape into bakeware Add low fat ricotta Bake Add low fat mozerrella Bake Take out and add homemade pesto Basil Walnuts Parm Chicken Broth to smooth.

Peanut butter and bacon sandwich? Still on MY diet: Trader Joe's low carb/cal bread toasted, PB2, two slices Kirkland Bacon = 185 happy calories

Talenti Mint. Worth every last calorie and a few more.

I eat it like cream cheese. It is my favorite with jalapeno pepper jelly.

That may be...I haven't looked at mine (or should I say, my husband's), I do know that they seem to work for me. I take hydrochlorizide and it can be depleting. An extra potassium supplement seems to do the trick. But, then again, it could all be between my ears...
-
Saw this recently and thought it looked great. Think I will try it but skip the maple syrup and rosemary. Two flavors I am not especially fond of (and weird...they are in the same recipe).
-
Always have potassium supplements on hand. Really helpful My DH is a baseball player and he pitches. On weekends he can play as many as four games. Over the years he has tried lots of different things to help with stamina, but particularly muscle cramps and mineral depletion...his answer: POTATOES. They work better than…

No. You can't and you shouldn't. Do you want to cut off a limb???? And cutting out carbs and so called water weight is well, just nonsense. Sorry, but it didn't take you a month to get to 210 pounds and it is going to take some time to lose that weight. Unrealistic expectations will only discourage you and keep the cycle…

I am a Mom and a very flawed one, at that. I know that there a million things I do wrong - but it doesn't stop me from trying to be the best Mom I can. I encourage you strongly to take a bold step for you and your relationship with your Mom. Tell her you love her and your relationship means everything to you and give her a…

This, this, and this. ALL excellent advice. As well as relax. This isn't a sprint or a race. It is one imperfect day at a time where we do our best with the knowledge that time is our friend. You will be fine.
