I was reminded of my food journal “reports” which include Protein, Fat and Carb ratios yesterday. I had not posted this in some time…. so here’s an update. (Thanks to Donna D’Souza) The report includes August and all but the last two days of September…so for practical purposes, this is a two month summary. Keep …
In July of 2006, I realized something was wrong. Frequent urination, terrible temper, always thirsty/hungry, tingling hands and feet. It was to the point where going to the bathroom was getting annoying, and even interfering with work. At my nephew’s baseball game that evening, my sister pointed out the number of Diet Pepsi and water …
I can and do eat chili year round … but had not made it recently…. that all changed this morning. In my opinion, low carb “primal” chili is a great food for diabetics… and it is what I call a “3-2” pitch in my personal diabetic diet. Truly, it’s a great food for EVERYONE! Why? … …
Update: Anne is my longest online friend, we have been friends since the summer of 2009. She’s been a friend, mentor and shoulder. Pay attention to her story!!! Millions of people have elevated blood sugars and are accruing cell damage daily, many unknowingly… just like Anne was. Today Anne is still THRIVING and not just surviving. …
When I first saw the word “corpulence” … I had to look it up. It’s meaning? According to freedictionary.com The condition of being excessively fat; obesity. Indeed I once suffered from corpulence… here is a picture from last year showing my 40″ Levi’s ….the picture was taken in July 26, 2009. At the time, I …
I am ending my Fitday.com journal entries for awhile. I know… this is not FRONT PAGE news but I wanted to let everyone know who may care so they can check out the summary. (below) FYI – I changed my mind…. several people found this valuable so I will continue. Thanks for the feedback. :) …
Update: Since I originally wrote this post much has been made about the ‘money connections’ with members of the government. the medical industry should wear nascar-style jackets. government officials should wear nascar-style jackets. A suggestion was made that people in government should wear uniforms like Nascar drivers showing who is ‘sponsoring’ them. Personally I agree. …

This is a follow up to yesterday’s post “See, hear and Speak No Evil….”. It is a story of a friend of mine and his battle with Crohns Disease. I also discuss the similarities in treatment and in poor medical advice for both Diabetes and Crohns from the medical establishment. In summary, his doctor told him …
According to the American Diabetes Association in 2007 : (yes I am linking to “that” site… ) Total: 23.6 million in the United States—7.8% of the population—have diabetes. Diagnosed: 17.9 million people Undiagnosed: 5.7 million people Pre-diabetes: 57 million people …so if we do some basic math, Voila!! approximately 81 million people …
I placed the date in the title for a reason…. I do not have high hopes for a change in the American Ass. of Diabetes Educators (AADE). In case I am right, I want to be able to use the same title next year… :( Why am I so negative about the outlook? Answer: NUMEROUS studies …
I have not posted a Food Journal Summary in awhile… so here is an update on the execution of my low carb food pyramid. Instead of ranting against the American Diabetes Association or their Minions … a brief repose from ADA basing…. *ha* :) I log every thing I eat into the fitday.com food journal, …
If you were the President of the national group representing diabetes educators, would you cozy up to a group dedicated to promoting their harmful products to the diabetics? The American Association of Diabetes Educators does. The Sugar Ass. had a booth at the national diabetes educator’s convention. The Diabetes Educators group was applauding their booth, not denigrating …
This is just a teaser…. a snippet of an email from an ADA Minion. The ADA (American Diabetes Ass) promotes a meal plan that is LOADED with carbs. IF YOU doubt that the ADA MEAL PLAN is a high carbohydrate meal plan… please review my post HERE. I am a diabetic and since my diagnosis, …
I am an easy going guy… I usually do not let things get to me. HOWEVER, since being diagnosed with Diabetes and seeing what a low carb food pyramid can do … I really get angry when someone promotes a high carb meal plan as being the preferred diabetic diet. I REALLY get fired up …
I want to thank Chancey Bruce for taking the time to write up his story. His story is typical of most diabetics and provides clues as to why the ADA Food Pyramid is destined to fail for not only most diabetics…but for most people. I communicate with many diabetics and those that fail at maintaining …
In my first post on INSANITY (click here if you missed it) we discussed what insanity is… Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.Albert Einstein, (attributed) US (German-born) physicist (1879 – 1955) To apply this to Nutritional terms… for the past 40 yrs, “authorities” have been pushing a low …
