Good beer is alright in moderation but bad beer is not.

BBQ, get real ... that is really good.

Bates is on the food group list as a must have.

I found when I cut out sugar and carbs, that I didn't crave sugar and carbs, once I introduced some back in the craving returned, it's a vicious cycle you crave more, so you eat more and then you crave more:eek:

There's a book that deals with that titled Breaking the Sugar Seduction. I just ordered it after everyone who actually lost weight in my support group said it was a must read. It's definately a beast to fight. ;)

my brother weighs 350 lbs,hes had the bi pass done,and ahs over time gained all the weight back.If you dont change your eating habits you will again become fat.As far as the loosing weight,Ive been typr 2 for 14 years,I nomally take a pill in the morning and one at night.Ive lost and have maintained a 40 lb loss since jan of this year,all i did was cut out bread and potatoes,potatoes was easy,bread more difficult.Since this time,I onlt have been taking pills once a day,and some time my test figures are to low.On another point,I kow some diabetics that are type 2 and skinny,so it doesnt always have to do with weight loss.THe pancreas produces the insulin in your body,if its not getting prduced,you then become diabetic

I know people the same way, had the surgery, thought it was a free pass to eat whatever whenever and had all the weight come back.

Type2 diabetes is NOT always weight dependent...the pancreatic malfunction can be, as in my case and alot of others, genetic. I exercise, eat what and how I am supposed to, and since I got this from my dad's DNA, it will go screwy at will...just when I think I have its pattern figured out, it will crash or spike, after MONTHS of being stable. Just like his did.

My non-fasting glucose is lower (<106) than my fasting (>125). My body will release stored sugars when it feels it is being "starved". Therefore, the 5 small snacks a day. My morning glucose before coffee is higher than my glucose 2 hours after coffee and toast.

Diabetes is not a "one size fits all" condition, unfortunately.

It is Okey Dokey!

Halo Burger is zero calories, no fat.

I read that on the internet, so it must be true. :D

Seems I do remember something about if you have a large side of onion rings and a large Vernor's, those will negate the fat and calories in said burger...
