Jon, I'm following the diet you've described to the letter except for not drinking my diet coke. I follow the diet because I'm diabetic and the diet you described sounds just like the diabetic diet. I haven't been told that I can't drink diet cokes but that blood on the highway thing, well let's just say I can't finish the one I'm drinking now. :8o:
I'm have a double whammy going here right now. Not only have I quit smoking and gained weight but I just found out that my thyroid gland is underactive. WAY underactive. My TSH level is 54.48 and the normal is .2 to .5. No wonder my britches have been getting tighter. :mad: My doctor put me on 125 mcg of Synthroid for now and it will probably have to be increased in the next week. Maybe once my thyroid hormone level is where it should be, I'll lose the weight I gained. Meanwhile, I reckon I'll give up my diet cokes.
Stay Strong,
Tutti
