Hi Oren,

Loved the link. The Trophy Wife laughs whenever
I play it. She really thinks it is funny.

This group can get on the nasty side at times.
Some of the drugs, especially Metformin, cause you
to get depressed, making you paranoid delusional.
You think everyone if picking on you. Makes from
some real sparks on groups like these. I had it
real bad. Had to do a lot of apologizing when I
finally got the s*** out of my system.

Metformin also causes hair loss, skin spots, sometimes
permanent insomnia, memory loss, cognitive decline,
spewing diarrhea, and depression (you act like
an ass hole).

Pre-diabetic is really easy to fix. You just have to
scale back on the carbs: switch to burning fat, eat
plants that have not been artificially hybridized for
unnatural amounts of carbohydrates, and meat.

Basically, what you will be doing is going back to the
was your ancestors ate for 99% of human history. The
human engine was not designed for high carbs.

And once you get going at it, it is really kind of fun.
You get to eat like a "Real Man", barbecue and all!
(Oh, I am going to catch s*** over that one!)

Since you are only pre-diabetic, you can probably
get you numbers down by lowering your carbs to
less than 100 grams per day, 25 max per meal.
Basically, you will want to discontinue grains
(wheat, rice, soy, corn) and high carb fruits
(apples, oranges, bananas). Also stay away
from potatoes and beans. And stay away from
cured meats. Go as natural or organic as you
can. Help if you have a community farm nearby.

I am on 60 per day, 15 max per meal. And currently
on 30 max per day until the stinkin' tumbleweeds
calm down. If your numbers don't come down,
just keep lowering your carbs.

Walmart has the best price on meters and supplies.

Here is a good place to start counting carbs:
http://nutritiondata.self.com
Look carefully at the "Glycemic Load". The lower
the better. You want to avoid spikes. Spikes are
what causes all the damage.

Here is good place to start with both diet and
lifestyle:
http://www.marksdailyapple.com/defin...mal-blueprint/
Start by just reading the chapter headers.

The lifestyle is very important. And you don't have to
be perfect or obsess over it. Note the part about eating
with friends/family/loved ones. And do not forget, as
the Chayenne say, "The brothers you find". (I have that
whole quote, if you ever want it.)

For exercise, the best one is the one you will do.
(I don't need an excuse to go fishing.)

Start by taking a daily walk with your wife. If
you have a dog, your wife and your dog. Wives
love walks with their husbands as they get them all to
their selves and get to talk about whatever they like.
(If she isn't chattering the entire time, you are not
doing it right.) The feedback of the shared love
is really good for your spirit and your healing.

Remember, the dog goes beside you, not in front of you.
Your are "Migrating", not "Seeking/hunting".

Here is a great cooking group along the lines
of what will heal you up:
http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/forum7.html

And there is a recipe for everything over he
http://www.marksdailyapple.com/primal-paleo-recipes/

One of these days, I am going to try the Enchilada
recipe.

And no one is on drugs and they cook low carb by choice.
They are not angry over it, like you find on this
and other diabetic groups. (Carbohydrate addiction
has killed many a Diabetic.)

If you need some herbs to help, I have a running list.
But you should be fine just lowering your carbs and getting
off the artificial ultra high carb food like substances.

I can also give you more stringent cooking site for
full drug free diabetics, like myself, but that should
not be an issue. If it is, you know where to find me.

Now go out and fire up the barbecue! Don't forget
all the vegis you can smother in olive oil and
cook along side the meat. Incredible! And if you are
still hungry, EAT ANOTHER SAUSAGE! You are going to
love this! And find some one to eat it with!

You must not look at this as a negative in your life.
This is the beginning of a whole new experience
that you are going to love. (The food is really,
really good!)

Rule: if it does not come from the produce section or
the meat section, it isn't food. And some of that is
not food either.

I have a broccoli cheese soup that is so good! Let
me know. That is if you can put the steak, chicken,
sausages down.

By the way, natural fat (not chemistry set) is
not harmful to humans. It is the human engine's
preferred source of energy. And you can actually
survive just fine on a zero carb diet. You won't
have to though.
