Maybe that’s what I need to gain weight!

Of course, the blood sugar would be very unhappy.

Ah, for the days of Drinking and Driving!

At least half way home but making a quick pit stop drop off.

(Pulled over to put in answer 1)

Washington D.C. Nationals and Houston Astros… they are in D.C. tonight and Sunday.

I case anyone comes back… New revised version of Wheat Belly coming In December 2019. I put it in my Wish List.

I am going to look all of that up! Thank you. So hard to filter what will work in real life from so many (what I call) fad diets that can’t be sustained.

(of course, I had a big response written out on the phone and then the system logged me out…grrr)

SPEAKING of pre-diabetes, diabetes, blood sugar, etc. My fasting glucose has run slightly over 99 for years…100, 102, 101, 104, etc. However in March they were 114 and August 126. I had an appointment with my doc and he ordered a first time A1C (which eventually came back as 5.7). I decided to make some dietary changes for a bit before I did that test. I have always read labels and know what is good/bad (usually would look at sodium for my BP) but it didn’t always apply to my 6 days a week (a job that I just want to do until I retire and another that I hate and is killing me) stress.

I cleaned out/gave away all my flour, sugar, rice, pasta, muffins, any candies, any frozen high carb foods and went shopping for veggies, fruit, higher fiber things with low glycemic ratings, etc. I have not eaten out since August. Also got a glucose meter.

WELL, about 3 weeks into those changes, got thinking my clothes felt loose and then friends started asking if I had lost weight. I didn’t have a scale (now have one) but found that I was down 10-12 pounds and then lost more. Bottom line, I’m 5’9″ and now sans clothes, am 133. TOO skinny! Fired off a letter to my doctor yesterday and waiting to hear anything.

Tests have fluctuated between 80’s and 110’s…always higher in the morning and then lower in the evenings but frustratingly can’t get an average below 100.

I need to stop the weight lose but still want to keep the diet healthy…getting healthy calories, low carbs (Keto is NOT an option)…a problem.

Keep pouring!

I didn’t get that was an answer!

Thought ya’all were just giving out hugs and kisses! 😁
