@colleenyoung Thanks, Colleen. Also, I just received the Mayo Diet Book II that I need to ck out. I ordered it when I joined the Mayo Diet to lose weight....not sure I can go that route myself as I don't cook, but can learn as I go! I do well w/Medditerrarian and Low Carb/High Protein eating....and several small meals daily. If I do that, keeps down the desire to snack on stuff....and have to be better at what I have to snack. Good helpers here.....blessings, elizabeth

Hey Lizzy,
I have a question, if you don’t cook why did you order a cookbook?
As much as I despise cooking if I can cook you can cook. Anyone can throw a salad together, granted its a pain. As you lose weight you become more and more motivated. I lost 90 pounds and I ate candy every day. Now if I can do it you can certainly do it and I didn’t need a cookbook although my doctor did send me to a nutritionist and the amount of food they want you to eat is ridiculous. I don’t think a person can even live on what they want you to eat. I know you need to reduce portions and exercise more @becsbuddy will take care of the exercise. I went to the gym too but didn’t overdo.
That deli junk isn’t healthy. For lunch I had 4oz of chicken (doctor says 3oz (I never did mind worth shucks) half a baked potato asparagus & carrots. I cook in the microwave just in case a seizure should strike. No candy today. talk about suffering!!
NOW, are you going to straighten up & fly right?
Think og the money you can save the deli junk is costly and gas. Although a happy car is a driven car.
Now when are you going to get with the program???
Take care,
Jake

Good add, Elizabeth. The Mayo Clinic Diet book and/or program are great resources. Here's a good discussion that might be worth reigniting:
- Anyone know about Mayo Clinic Diet Experience https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/anyone-know-about-mayo-clinic-diet-experience/
I'd also like to point out this book from diabetes experts at Mayo Clinic - The Essential Diabetes Book https://mcpress.mayoclinic.org/categories/diseases-and-conditions/mayo-clinic-the-essential-diabetes-book-second-edition.php
