The YMCA's offered the National Diabetes Prevention program soon after it was developed, maybe about 5 years ago. I dug down into the CDC website to check the diet then...count your carbs, move more. They have some success with people coming from a highly processed foods, soda and chips diet, they lose a few pounds because it is lower in carbs and the exercise comes with community support. I sent the regional Y program leader Duke's low carb program, and she had no interest in very low carb plans, even with my offer of having a diabetes expert give a talk. Have to follow the CDC guidelines, blah, blah... This test might at least shake up the folks with BMIs over 25, that being overweight does have health risks. The various studies showing how much weight has been gained during the pandemic, especially in children is shocking. All the covid 19 jokes normalize eating junk food and gaining weight.
