The Last Diet You’ll Ever Need
Welcome to my site about “diabesity”—that devastating and completely avoidable combination of diabetes and obesity—and the Blood Sugar Solution, a whole foods weight loss program. I’m using BSS to get healthy; it’s the best weight control program I’ve ever used. I hope you will gather useful information that will help and encourage you to lose weight and get healthy if that is the reason you came to my site.
I have always struggled with my weight and have been on every single diet you can imagine—from eating nothing but carrots to eating six small meals a day. Nothing has worked for me to keep off the weight and I’m facing a major decision to lose weight, once and for all. This is what the Blood Sugar Solution (BSS) promises to do for me and for you if you care to join me. Dr. Mark Hyman calls the BSS program “the last diet that you will ever need”. The reason for this is that the program introduces new and exciting ways to prepare and eat foods with good combinations that lower your blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol. And it does this not with medication, but with real foods. Delicious food!

| Exercise |  My exercise program is called the Five for Five Club. We can choose the exercises in our program, but they must consist of strengthening, toning, and aerobics. Our collective goal is to encourage greater fitness and health—more flexibility, better muscular strength, and good cardiovascular fitness. Each week I create and display a rewards poster to illustrate our individual progress. |
| Photos |  A picture is worth a 1000 words, they say. Well some are worth more than that because they hold precious memories. Here are a few of mine. |
Motivation
In 2010 I had a heart attack — a minor one but I had to have a couple of stints placed in my heart to take care of the blood flow better and I was put on more medication than I have taken in my entire life.
So, my goal is to get healthy and stop taking all the medication: Plavix, Altace and Lipitor. With the Blood Sugar Solution plan, I might be able to even stop taking the Zyrtec every day for allergies.
January 2013 Update
I seem to have hit a plateau around the Christmas holidays. After 259 days on the Blood Sugar Solution program, I was no longer losing weight. So, starting on January 21, I am using Jake the Body Builder’s 21-day diet. I know it was partly because I was ill and not sticking to the BBS program, and I haven’t completely stopped using Dr. Hyman’s basic ideas of fresh foods simply prepared.
