Hello All. This journey started when my mother in law asked me to pick up the book "Glucose Revolution" and before I gave it to her I read it. Well there were some concerns I have always had about diabetes but as they say knowledge is power. This led me to discuss the book with my friend who is a bodybuilder and he mentioned the Atkins approach. I got the book, read it and, well why not give this a try. I am 6'00 and on Monday morning weighted 235. I am addicted to carbs. and have always been a big cookie, pizza,milk and bread lover. I am a male 47 years old. My grandmother died of complications of dieabetes and I think I may be predisposed to the same. My blood work is perfect and I took the suggestions and joined a gym. Sounds perfect right? Well I think that is the problem and last night I was at the supper market and the poor me's came out! I thought ,in a weak monment, I will never be able to eat 95% of this "normal" food again! How can I possibly do this perfectly? Well, I got thru it and have simply dicided to take this journey a day at a time-sometimes maybe a moment at a time. Maybe my wife will join me as she is in the same situation?
I look forward to hearing your stories and will keep an open mind.
Be well, Critter.
