I was diagnosed as diabetic three years ago. The doctor felt that I could control it by losing some weight. I took off 30 pounds in three months and have kept it off ever since. I didn't go on a diet.
All I did was do what I've known for years what I should do. As I changed my way of eating, I discovered that my taste, and appetite changed too. For Mister Pastry, I haven't had a doughnut or Danish in three years, and don't miss them at all. I just had a mug of coffee, sitting here at the computer, with a piece of toasted whole grain, organic bread, with a packet of Splenda and some cinammon sprinkled over it. Doughnuts? Not on your life. You look like what you eat. I had one around my waist.
