In reply to: noreenkrebs posted an update in the group Diet & Nutrition I’m new to this, but can you have a good caffeine-free coffee like Starbuck’s caffeine free coffee? ViewI’ve given up the coffee and, amazingly enough to me, I find I wake up much faster in the morning without it! It surely is tough to wean off of though. Hang in there.

In reply to: Astrid Theron posted an update in the group Weight & Obesity Hi all. I just joined today. CAn anyone give me some tips to stop the intense cravings? I am busy reading the book, and am sorting out my food […] ViewI’m with Janine on this one. I’ve found that protein and low-glycemic vegetables are what lasts the longest for breakfast. Adding any starchy carbs just makes me intensely hungry after about 2 hours. This surprised me.

In reply to: ellenbeth posted an update Just diagnosed with Meniere’s Disease. I have been dizzy, queasy and very tired. Anyone else have this? Today I feel fine so far; I hope it lasts. I have been on the advanced diet for […] ViewSorry to hear this news,Ellenbeth! I’m a 23 year veteran of inner ear problems. Makes life psychedelic, but not in a good way, ha! (The floor LOOKS flat, but it FEELS wavy.)
How long have you been having problems? Meniere’s is usually only diagnosed after a year’s duration. A surprising number of people have a vertigo problem of a few…[Read more]

In reply to: JANINE posted an update in the group Weight & Obesity I took the time to cull clothing in bigger sizes from my closet over the past weekend.

In reply to: Carolyn posted an update in the group Weight & Obesity I just joined. I’m planning to start the advanced BSS program in three weeks. I have basically been eating a whole foods diet for a while (the bulk of my […] ViewI’ve been enjoying 1/2 cup of froze blueberries as a nibbly snack. That’s allowed on advanced plan and satisfies my liking for a little something sweet.

In reply to: laury posted an update in the group Recipes Good evening all:) Tonight I tried sauteing Collard Greens like Dr. H’s recipe for Kale or swiss chard….note to self, it didn’t work out well:( I ate it because […] ViewHi, Laury. Collards will cook and tenderize pretty quickly if….you cut out the thick center stems and then stack the leaves up and julienne them. Did you try that? I like them that way with the olive oil and garlic, you can ”stir-fry” them so to speak.

I’m on week 1, day 4 and doing well and feeling positive. Got to say though, I’m only doing the journal weekly to record my stats. Not really seeing the point. Any thoughts?

Hi Bev, Some people are not journaling types. If you are doing fine without it then you do not need that tool. I stopped recording in a journal after two weeks and am doing just fine (just starting week 9).
Good luck on the plan, Margaret-
I agree for some its a must do, for me its just one more thing on my long lists of to do’s so I don’t do it. Donna

In reply to: Melissa K. Owens posted an update in the group Weight & Obesity Hello! I have to say I am a bit skeptical or maybe just discouraged. I have been on the hunt for the source of my health issues for about 10 years […] ViewWell, Melissa, tomorrow’s another day! Sounds like today is a hard one, so it will surely be better! Our brains can really play tricks on us–perhaps that is reflected in your new sugar cravings? I’m just getting started with this (on Day 3 of advanced diet) and am hypoglycemic, but I can already feel a difference with how I feel which I…[Read more]

Hi! Yes, today is a new day. I was pleasantly surprised when I had two little notes of encouragement this morning when I woke up. It feels good to know someone else is saying, “Don’t give up!” I have to be honest, I don’t want to share this Blood Sugar Solution with my husband. I think he thinks I am crazy, or he doesn’t take me seriously.…[Read more]

Hi, Melissa,
I remember feeling rather overwhelmed when I first began reading the BSS book. Between the PBS show, the Huffington Post videos, and the book itself, I found Dr. Hyman’s message very appealing-that we each have the power within us to make the changes necessary to reverse our poor health problems and regain our good health. I am…[Read more]-
I love when you said, ‘It’s going to be completely different this time” I feel like I just went to a high school pep rally and we are throwing our fists in the air and screaming. “YEA!” Thanks, I so need5ed this and I am so excited about giving this a try. I resonated with everything you said and you are right, I know you are. I weighed…[Read more]

You are welcome. One huge thing: no sugar in any form whatsoever. I believe being on the advanced plan and having ZERO sugar in any form, natural or otherwise, and not having foods with any glycemic impact has completely, utterly rid me of any cravings. This is the best thing that has ever happened to this sugar ADDICT. You can’t cheat…[Read more]

I think you are the first person to verbalize this for me. I am sure it was written somewhere before or possibly suggested but you are tee totally right. I had a moment of grief there..no more sugar……ever. Wow. I gave up plenty of things in the past…cigarettes, etc… but this one is going to be hard. I do have to admit that I don’t have…[Read more]

Hi, Melissa,
I am glad my posts are more than me just rambling (on and on…!). It makes me happy to know that as I share my experiences, and others share theirs with me, we are all going forward to better health together and this ability to communicate here makes it so much easier. We are all working hard for ourselves, but we are also in it…[Read more]-
Janine, you aren’t going to believe this but I just happened to step on the scale and guess what it said?! It said 254.5 AFTER LUNCH. AND, that’s after yesterday being 258.5. That’s so totally unexpected for me. I guess this blood sugar and insulin is the very key that I had been missing all along. I am happy to have your posts to read. They…[Read more]

You girls are all doing so good! You all inspire me. I have to say that I didn’t even know I was addicted to sugar. I always thought of sugar as sweets and I tend to crave salty stuff more. What I have learned in two short weeks is that sugar is in everything!!! I feel so much better without it. My cravings in 2 wks are completely gone. I am…[Read more]

You are right, I was thinking about that very thing just this morning. It appears that I truly have stumbled upon the proverbial KEY that I was missing. I am a praying woman and I asked God Almighty for wisdom. It says all throughout a book called Proverbs that God gives those you ask for it, wisdom in abundance. So, I asked. I needed it badly. I…[Read more]
