I may have mentioned somewhere here a few months ago that my wife was hospitalized briefly for a heart flutter. (She’s doing very well now, thank you.) While she was hospitalized, she got another big surprise: She was diagnosed with diabetes. The diagnosis is that her blood glucose levels make her diabetic, but the good news is, she should be able to control it with a proper diet, regular exercise — and no need for medication.
That may have been the best medical diagnosis for her and me BOTH that we’ve gotten in decades. Because it served as a great wake-up call for us both. We’re both overweight and out of shape, mostly from sloppy eating, i.e., food portions too big and food quality too little.
Nowadays, in the two-plus months since her hospitalization, our meals are much better in quality and in portion size. We’re taming our “inner gluttons” and, wow, we’re actually enjoying meals more — as well as losing serious body fat! (I’ve lost about 15-18 pounds; she’s lost 5-6 pounds.)
So, throw away all those diet pills, special supplements, instead of fat blockers or hgh supplements, etc., to feel healthier, happier, and younger, I highly recommend a moderate calorie, low fat, LOW CARB (special emphasis there), moderate protein, high fiber diet combined with a brisk walk or two every day.
A diet plan, lifestyle change like that has worked wonders for us.
