OK GUYS.....i HAVE READ SOME REPLIES. THIS IS PROBABLY GOING TO SOUND LIKE I AM MAKING EXCUSES...I HOPE I'M NOT. I READ LABELS, TRIED THE PALEO 60 DAY DIET..i LOST TWO POUNDS, I WAS VERY EXACT, MEASURED, HAD ALL THE CUPS AND THINGS TO MEASURE WITH, i KEEP BELIEVING THAT IF i CAN GET MORE EXERCISE I CAN START TO GET THIS WEIGHT OFF. YES, FIBER IS A GOOD WAY, IF YOU DON'T MIND FARTING EVERY TIME YOU MOVE. 🙂 i AM A DIFFICULT TIME eating small meals during the day. My son has lost 57 lbs doing that,,,I simply cannot keep doing it. I will do it for about 2 weeks and quit. I started taking ginger,tumeric,apple cider vinegar,lemon ...drank iot hot every morning for about a month. it seems like a great appetite suppressor, i also took CLA and safflower oil...I did not lose a pound. it is so frustrating. I HONESTLY do not eat junk food, I have not had bread for 6 weeks now. I was truly addicted to it. I still want it at times, but so far I have been able to walk away from it. My cardiologist want me to see a Baratric Dr. . I have talked to a Dr in Austin and was told that medicare will not pay for it. So
I could not afford it. I have so many friends that have had the surgery,bands and stomach stapling and now they have gained it all back or they have been really sick Did I mention I don't have many teeth to chew with?, I DO NOT WANT ANOTHER SURGERY ! I too tried the Mayo Clinic diet, and for a month I received a lot of good info, and encouragement......is there anything out there that doesn't cost a lot???? hELP GUYS,,,,,,i AM SO VERY FRUSTRATED! HUMILIATED, EMBARRASSED.
Sorry about the caps, I truly am not shouting 🙂 I am going to look up “Simply Raw Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days” and see what that is about.
HELP HELP HELP now I was shouting. peace & love JJ

@jjwest do you have type 2 like me? Do you take any meds for it?
I seldom see any posts from people talking about type 2 meds. It seems like everyone is trying to treat their type 2 entirely thru diet and exercise. Or maybe I've just missed posts about meds.
Anyway, I don't think I could have lost the weight I've lost over the last year or so without januvia. It was a very slow weight loss. And it didn't start immediately. But it seemed to me that the januvia sort of messed with my appetite over time. It got to where I was just not as hungry as I used to be. And when I do get hungry now, I start feeling full very quickly when I eat.
I eat 6 or more small "meals" a day now. I used to eat really large meals! And really large snacks! It was all about volume for me! But over the last year and a half that has slowly changed. And I really think it had something to do with the januvia.
I'm not advocating that everyone should take meds if they want to lower their blood glucose and lose weight. Far from it. I greatly admire those who can walk this type 2 diabetes walk without meds. I'm just saying that I personally needed the meds to help me in addition to support groups and healthier eating plans and exercise. I'm very thankful for my doc finding the right diabetes meds that work for me.

what is reason for: I started taking ginger, tumeric, apple cider vinegar, lemon …drank iot hot every morning for about a month. it seems like a great appetite suppressor, i also took CLA??
and safflower oil…
I have so many friends that have had the surgery,bands and stomach stapling and now they have gained it all back.
If obese people knew the amount of discipline needed AFTER stomach stapling, THEN THEY COULD JUST HAVE WELL HAVE USED THE DISCIPLINE b4 having the bypass.
But, there r a lot of people that r very happy after, and they Stop taking so many Pills.
Have u tried hypnosis for losing weight. Good way to get good, deep sleep also.
