Health

Nice to take a break from Trump fatigue and talk about health. I was recently found to be Pre diabetic: very low end but enough to take some action. I’m a vegetarian and also celiac so figured cutting back on sugar and watching glycemic levels was just another restriction. I think all the GF stuff I was eating was loaded with more sugar to make it taste good so that was a big culprit. So read labels and cut out the high sugar products, switched to stevia for coffee sweetener and switched to snacking on veggies/hummus, fruit and make sure any dinners with potatoes/rice have enough other veggies so it helps convert the sugars at a slower level.

Have lost about 7lbs in 2months (did not really need to lose weight but it just happened) and I’m active anyway (tennis/hiking/horse riding) but certainly feel more energetic and my cravings for sweets has greatly diminished. Good luck to everyone here working on a healthier lifestyle!
