Diabesity / Diabetes 1 year, 2 months agoThis week is going so much better(week 2). Down 8 pounds and blood sugars are coming down as well. The most change that I notice most is the clearing of my Rosacea. Eating right makes all things better!

In reply to: Richard posted an update in the group Diabesity / Diabetes No insulin after 14 days on the program ! My progress is marching along. As of yesterday AM, my blood was under 8, as my Dr. asked for, and has stayed […] ViewWow!! That is impressive after such a short time. Keep it up. For a non-insulin dependent type II diabetic, that give me such hope. Thanks.

In reply to: Jim Reis posted an update in the group Diabesity / Diabetes I have been on this diet for a little over two weeks. I have been taking metformin (1500) per day and started on Januvia a little over a month ago. I […] ViewCathy, I am starting the advance plan tomorrow. So glad to hear someone is having great results on the plan. I am a little anxious as I am a heavy coffee, diet soda and milk drinker. Any hints?

Hi Mary – I found that the milk and dairy products were the easiest to give -up. Diet soda and coffee – OY! they were tough! But I found a GREAT replacement for diet soda – Seltzer Water! It comes in cans, is fizzy and best of all – all it is is carbonated water! I also make herbal teas and chill them in a pticher in the fridge, my favorite is…[Read more]

In reply to: yazb posted an update in the group Diabesity / Diabetes I have had type 2 diabetes for 4 years (probably longer, but was diagnosed then) and had been doing well till the last year. I bought the book and by simply […] ViewStarting this new way of life tomorrow(can’t bare to say diet again). Just read Dr. Hymans Sugar Solutions book. With a diabetic teaching background, it sounds
right on track. But that is the problem. We so often go for all the new low calories fads, as I have done and not lost a pound and still feel terrible as my blood sugar keep climbing. …[Read more]-
You are not alone Mary. Many have walked and failed, but keep trying. Bad habits over a lifetime got me here so I needed to change my habits and I am happy to say it has been effective so far.

Mary, I’m responding to you having just finished an awesome bowl of turkey chili, which is not low in calorie and I’m not feeling deprived at all. I was in denial about my diabetes for the last 6 years or so and would watch what I ate once in a while but the BS kept going up and up… I’ve only been on Dr. Hymans program for two full weeks,…[Read more]

Trying and failing (over and over) is so disheartening. I believe this plan will work. I qualify for the “advanced” diet, or the more restricted version. I am still in the “preparation” phase, getting rid of coffee and artificial sugars from my diet. I have been following the diet for a week, with the exception of having coffee, tea, and…[Read more]

Supplements can be purchased anywhere – do not be discouraged. I was surprised with the tone of this website because it was unlike the old one (probably some aggressive marketing guru set it up). I do not use the website brand except for one hard-to-find version and I am still getting excellent results. However, it is important to research the…[Read more]

In reply to: Jill Cooper posted an update in the group Diabesity / Diabetes So I am new here. Just reading the book and starting to plan. Not ready to jump in with both feet yet.

Thanks for all the encouraging comments. I am pumped too. Last night I was at a dessert party. I took deviled eggs, a recipe from the book. There was a lot of chocolate, bread, and other sweets around. I am proud that I had none of the wrong food. My thought was I enjoy being off insulin more, than I want a piece of chocolate. I feel as long…[Read more]
