Recipes 2 hours, 59 minutes agoHello. I’m wondering if anyone has made the Moroccan Chicken with Cauliflower and Cashews (p. 142 BSS Cookbook). Is this supposed to be in the soup section? Or, was the 6 cups of low-sodium chicken broth a misprint?

Diabesity / Diabetes 7 hours, 8 minutes agoWell…my doctor appointment today went about as I figured it would. She said that my foot sensations were from progressive neuropathy and that there really wasn’t anything that could be done. That diabetes is a progressive disease and that I just may not be able to walk anymore as I lose sensation in my foot that tells me how hard to step down…[Read more]

Sorry to hear you got that report. Someone who works this program as faithfully as you deserves better. But I suppose it goes to show there’s only so much we can do to control what our bodies do. I think I’d also keep my own counsel on trying to lower the a1c. Stay well.

Welll I decided to do what any woman should do when getting news as devistating as this was to me. Time to go shopping ! I’ve already started my research and figured out that i had stopped taking one of my supplements Alpha – Lipoic Acid ( 200mg) about the time this all started because I had ran out and didn’t get to the health food store to buy…[Read more]

I also have heard from 2 different doctors of new studies showing that diabetics on medication whose A1C dip below 6.0 are at risk for heart attacks and other complications. I take it to mean that if you are able to get off meds, then you can work via diet and exercise to bring it down below 6.0. Of course it doesn’t help those of us who are on…[Read more]

Do you know which study they are talking about? is this one isolated study ?
-
I don’t have details but I do trust both of them. I will see one in a few weeks, will try to remember to ask him. Meanwhile try a search on the internet.
My sister’s internist also told her the same thing a couple of years ago. So I don’t think this is news. I will ask her when she’s back from her travels.

I am so sorry, Nicole. I was hoping for a good report for you. It certainly came on quickly. I hope and pray your resumption of AL Acid helps. Best wishes, Shelley

Diabesity / Diabetes 1 day, 9 hours agoHappy Tuesday everyone – I have been having balance and dizziness issues for the past several days and feeling like I am going to fall over with a feeling that my left foot has fallen asleep when I take my walks. This has been happening at the one mile mark or so and is very scary. Today it happened on the first block so I turned around and came…[Read more]

I feel very bad that you are having such problems, Nicole. The timing of your physician appointment could not be better; I hope she gives you good news. Can you imagine how dire your condition would be without all of the work you have done in the last year?
Hang in there, Shelley -
Hi Nicole, I am so sorry to hear of your problems. I do applaud your balanced attitude toward these symptoms. You will look into it and find a way around the situation to continue the good habits you have cultivated. In other words there is no giving up: )
Many blessings to you, Phill and Lady, Margaret -
Hi Nicole, sorry to hear about your balance and dizziness problems. I hope your Dr. Appt.’s come out positive. It’s encouraging to hear hat you pushed forward regardless over the last 4 years.

So sorry to hear of your health issues, Nicole. Let us know what you learn at your dr appt.

Recipes 4 days, 4 hours agoHi, I wanted to share a treat that I found in rural northern California. They are okra chips. Whole okra, tops and tips, dried. They may be vacuum fried but with no oiliness I think they are baked or dehydrated. This okra is very good and a great travel food. Unfortunately there was no ingredient list. So it was a repackaged item that the company…[Read more]

Energy 4 days, 7 hours agoAfter battling post-travel fatigue for two weeks and taking it easy at the gym I finally had a great workout this a. m. with 35 minutes of upper and lower body weights and 55 minutes of cardio. Feeling pretty great right now. No more fatigue!

Good for you Janine, You are reminding us all that exercise is an energy booster. After a week of so of steady exercise as simple as a daily walk, most people feel more energized.

Diabesity / Diabetes 4 days, 22 hours agoHi everyone. I was wondering if anyone here has had to deal candida? I have an appointment with a functional doctor as soon as I can fill out his questionair.

My husband is dealing with that right now. there was a very good segment on Dr Oz that you can listen to by going to the dr oz web site.

I am hoping right along with you, Nicole! Cannot wait to hear the results on Wednesday. I too hope to add Lipitor to my list of discontinued meds, but I have to wait until August for my lab work and appointment. You sound upbeat and positive – that is terrific. Have a wonderful weekend, Shelley

Diabesity / Diabetes 1 week agoHappy Wednesday Everyone – My life has gotten in the way of my 2x a day walks the past few weeks making it easy for me to either make them shorter or skip the 2nd walk entirely . The bathroom scale is still reflecting the change in my daily routine and my over indulgence in eating nuts and nut butters by showing me a “temporary ” increase in…[Read more]

Hi Nicole. I enjoyed your post from Wednesday. On Tuesday I struggled – and lost the battle – to keep my daily amount of nuts in check. Not only that, but I stayed up too late the night before reading my BSS book, and instead of going for my walk at 5:00 a.m., I went back to sleep. So the next day my BG was up to 127! I got back on the…[Read more]

Recipes 1 week, 1 day agoI bought 100% cocoa chocolate instead of 70% . Are there any ideas for a recipe without sugar.
-
I use it in my morning ultra shake.
-
You can melt some of it in a a glass of hot almond milk and add a lot of spices, cinnamon, allspice, ginger, turmeric, cardamon, etc. Put in a tablespoon or more spices.
Blessings Margaret-
It is actually bakers chocolate. I’m thinking of dunking bananas in and freezing it. Wonder if it will work well.
-
Yes that will work, but you should thin the chocolate a bit.

Hi Nicole, you are so right about rereading the BSS book and even the cookbook. There is a lot of info. What may have seemed irrelevant at first, could really be important to you 6 months or a year later:)
Blessings, Margaret -
Nicole,
Thank you for all your comments. They are helping all of us I’m sure. Just took oatmeal off my diet and my fasting blood sugar is back where it should be. Finally.
You know you are smart to keep adjusting your food choices until things work for you. I am still loosing a pound a week and am quite happy with that. Got stuck a couple a…[Read more]-
Wow..being under 170 is a milestone to shout about from the rooftop! Congratulations. getting those fasting blood sugars consistently under 100 and optimally in the 80′s takes healing and eating smart and daily walking or other forms of exercise . I haven’t lost anything for over a month but that is the norm for me. When I get too tired of no…[Read more]

Dawna, I have to get back to a better walking schedule. The weather is warm, here in VA, so early morning walks or evening walks would work best. Your doing so well …keep it up. Rusty

Thanks Rusty.

Oatmeal/oats is one of the things that causes inflammation for me and increased blood sugars above what should be for the amount eaten. Oh well.

Funny you would mention this now, Nicole. I had just decided to reread the book this week.

Recipes 1 week, 3 days agoWe just started the UltraSimple Diet plan. Wondering if salads are an option or if all vegetables need to be steamed or sauteed? Seems like salads for lunch would be easier. Thanks for any assistance.

I am not on Ultra Simple Diet but from what I’ve learned Fresh vegetables are even better than steamed or sauteed. nicole

That’s what I figured too. Thanks!
