>>"Less Filling, Tastes Great"

>>Of course, the "Tastes Great" was a lie, Miller Lite is swill, but is it "Less Filling" or "Fewer Filling?" :)

>I wasn't looking for a way to drop this in but I received some medical news on Friday. I have type 2 diabetes. This is not a death warrant, although it can lead to all kinds of medical complications. If you follow the regimen it is actually healthy. No sugar, little fat. All the vegetables you like and some fruits.

>My doc is all business but she does have a humorous side. I fake complained about not being able to eat bananas, which are elementary to what I have been eating. You can probably get away with one small banana a day, she said.

One can live a long live with it. But you need to be stern.
Note that sugar is not meant as the food industry is using it. It basically means carbohydrate - wheat flour is part of it.
Friend of mine gots good results with high basal metabolism. He started a career as a runner. From what your pictures showing he started with more mass and havy smoke. (he skipped smoking too) He is now high muscle / fat ratio. That helps a lot.
He put a fortune in measurement. Doing just the right dose of insulin.
And he was upset as he figured out that he have to skip sausage - because of the "sugar" in it ... but he is stubborn. Likes to see his kids growing up.
