Good job, and keep it up! I was diagnosed in Sept 2010 with type 2 diabetes. I changed my diet to vegan and increased my exercise levels and now 80 pounds lighter and no more diabetes.

I have fund this to be very true. When I became a diabetic over 6 years ago I dropped 20 pounds very fast ...I was not dieting at all. I was just watching the sugar and carbs that I was eating. Anytime I want to lose a few pounds I just watch sugar and carbs. Diabetes is my life now and I don't want to get any worse. Life style change not diet!

What's the worst thing about being obese or overweight?

I think for the worst thing about excess weight is becoming pre-diabetic, and realizing all the complications weight does to oneself. High Triglycerides( fat in the blood) Possible srtoke or heart attack, vision complications, kidney and liver complications, gum disease and a host of other problems. I have changed my life for good and will lose weight...I'm down 46lbs in 8 months. Even though I am pre-diabetic I live and eat like I have diabetes.

MORE INFORMATION:
Wish I knew more about how foods can heal at an earlier age.

Wheat converts rapidly into sugar

Wheat bread and white bread both metabolize high amounts of glucose into the bloodstream. The best bread a diabetic can eat is whole grain rye. It is about 40% better for a diabetic than brown rice on the glycemic chart. Rye fills you up and digests slowly. Stay away from as much white and wheat as possible and you will lose weight
