Well I have type 2 diabetes, so too late for that. Metformin did not help and just gave me an upset stomach all the time.

They are good for you, and the "fats" in nuts are not a big deal. I've eaten lots of nuts my whole life; pretty much daily. Yes to limiting sugary drinks. Also stay away from artificial sweeteners; they do more harm than good. Recent evidence suggests they might be contributing to type 2 diabetes. They also play havoc with your micro biome. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 8/29/2016 10:12 AM, [email protected] wrote: Yeah, I just got back from England and jumped on the scale. Arrgh. I don’t drink sugared sodas so that is no problem, but my wife does buy candy. And I snack on nuts all the time too but I know they are pretty high calories. So, baby carrots and hummis I guess. I can lose weight, much easier if my wife is on board. We are empty nesters now and I am hoping to convince to help me with this.

I dropped 15lbs pretty quick once i got rid of sugar, alcohol (which turns into sugar), and bread (carbs that turn into sugar). the awesome thing is the weight stayed off since i've programmed myself to avoid sugar. 2 cents, good luck!! -Sean On Mon, Aug 29, 2016 at 10:20 AM, <[email protected]> wrote: Thinking of getting a fitness tracker. Getting too fat this summer. Does the fit bit only work with an iPhone? How do you charge them and get the data out? I am still running my iPhone 4 and bound and determined to use it until it no longer works.
