I am a 66 yr old male who is diabetic and insulin dependent. One of my goals is to get off of or at least drastically reduce insulin usuage.
Can't be good for you long term. I am a retired beekeeper (alas, no more honey - too many carbs) who likes to cook very much, and obviously eat also. Another thing to learn is portion control. I am collecting recipes for the impending diet - hope to have about 30 for rotation. Check out my cookbook, there are some good ones there already. Best of luck to everyone.

First stop 250
Next 235
Next 225
Next 215
Then we will see
Actually if I can become free of insulin usuage at almost any level that's going to be the first criteria.
