    Well, just like Judy I am also starting out and also looking forward to the journey..I am 60 years old with type 2 diabetes and this book has really opened my eyes. My real concern at this point is whether or not I can stay motivated and connected to the issues. I am hoping this site, and more importantly this group of people, will be useful for helping me do just that!

    • hi Jim-The results and how much better you feel will keep you motivated. Welcome !

      • Thanks Nicole!

        • Hi Jim – Welcome.
          It’s amazing how much of the appetite control comes from giving your body what it needs so it’s satisfied, (and not giving it what fires up your appetite) instead of having to use so much willpower to resist cravings.

    • Hi Jim
      Welcome to you. I can understand your concerns about staying the distance. There are many things to consider with the diet plans. All I know at this point is that it would be marvellous to reverse type 2 Diabetes. For this to occur I guess it needs commitment and motivation. I am new to this condition so do not know if there are any other diet schedules that would bring about the same results. Certainly Dr Hyman’s knowledge of the problem is beyond reproach. Keep looking forward.
